Sophisticated Strategies for Complex Wealth
Advanced solutions for high-net-worth and accredited investors
High-net-worth investors often face challenges and opportunities that go far beyond traditional portfolios. Our advanced strategies help you diversify intelligently, manage concentrated risks, and navigate unique financial events with clarity and confidence.
Alternative Investment Opportunities
Expanding your portfolio beyond traditional markets
For qualified investors, alternative investments can enhance diversification and potentially improve long-term outcomes. We help you evaluate options such as private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, and other institutional-level offerings that aren’t typically available to retail investors. Our due diligence process focuses on understanding each investment’s structure, liquidity terms, and risk-return profile before making recommendations. These strategies are never used simply for novelty—they are considered only when they align with your goals, risk tolerance, and broader financial plan. Transparency and fit always guide our approach.
Managing Concentrated Stock & Illiquid Wealth
Reducing exposure while maintaining opportunity
Many high-net-worth clients build wealth through concentrated assets—company stock, inherited holdings, business equity, or large real estate positions. We design customized diversification strategies that reduce risk in a thoughtful, tax-aware manner. Depending on the situation, this may include phased selling, 10b5-1 trading plans for executives, hedging techniques such as collars, donating appreciated shares, or exploring exchange funds. For business owners preparing for or emerging from a liquidity event, we guide both pre-sale tax planning and post-sale investment strategy to ensure your newfound liquidity supports long-term goals.
Customized Lending & Liquidity Solutions
Access to capital without sacrificing investment growth
High-net-worth clients often require liquidity for large purchases, business opportunities, or tax payments—but selling investments at the wrong time can create unnecessary taxes or missed gains. Through our custodial partnerships, we help you evaluate whether a customized lending solution may be appropriate. Tools may include:
- Securities-Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOCs): Borrow against your portfolio at competitive rates without liquidating assets.
- Strategic Debt Management: Guidance on mortgage decisions, refinancing, and optimizing your overall debt strategy.
- Short-Term Liquidity Planning: Ensuring accessible capital for predictable expenses or opportunistic needs.
Each solution is evaluated carefully to ensure it supports—not conflicts with—your long-term financial plan.
Family Office-Style Coordination
Comprehensive oversight for multi-layered financial lives
Complex wealth requires collaboration across legal, tax, and investment disciplines. We act as your financial quarterback—coordinating with attorneys, accountants, and other professionals to keep every part of your financial life aligned. This may include multi-generational planning, trust management oversight, philanthropic structures, and consolidated reporting across multiple accounts and asset classes. Our approach brings clarity to complexity, allowing you to focus on your family, business, and future with confidence.
Real-World Examples of Advanced Strategies
How we help high-net-worth families solve sophisticated challenges
We work with clients in a wide range of situations that require expertise, nuance, and long-term planning. Examples include:
- After a Business Sale: A client selling a company used charitable planning prior to closing to reduce tax exposure. After the sale, we implemented a diversified investment strategy and aligned the proceeds with retirement, giving, and estate goals.
- Diversifying Concentrated Stock: An executive with a significant employer-stock position used a combination of scheduled trades and hedging strategies to reduce single-stock risk without triggering unnecessary taxes.
- Integrating Alternatives: A high-net-worth family added private real estate and venture capital as part of a broader diversification plan while maintaining liquidity for upcoming goals.
These examples illustrate the thoughtful, customized approach we take when complexity is high and decisions carry significant long-term impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced High-Net-Worth Strategies
What are alternative investments, and how do I know if they’re right for me?
Alternative investments include private equity, hedge funds, private credit, real estate funds, and other institutional-level strategies. They often require accredited investor status and come with unique risks such as limited liquidity or higher fees. We evaluate whether alternatives fit your objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance before making any recommendation. They are used selectively and only when they complement your broader investment plan.
How does your firm access alternative investments?
We access alternatives through vetted platforms, institutional relationships, and custodial partners that offer high-quality private investment opportunities. We do not manufacture our own products or push proprietary funds. Instead, we act as an advisor—helping you review, understand, and integrate these opportunities when appropriate. Every alternative investment is evaluated through due diligence before being introduced to a client.
Can you help me manage my concentrated stock position?
Yes. Concentrated positions can create significant risk even when the underlying company is strong. We design diversification plans using phased sales, tax-aware timing, or advanced tools such as hedging strategies or exchange funds. Our goal is to reduce reliance on a single asset while preserving opportunity and minimizing tax impact. The strategy is tailored to your employer rules, vesting schedules, and personal goals.
Do you coordinate with my attorney or CPA for more complex strategies?
Absolutely. Advanced wealth strategies almost always involve tax and legal considerations. We work closely with your CPA, estate attorney, and other professionals to ensure your investment plan integrates seamlessly with your legal structures and tax strategy. This collaborative approach helps prevent blind spots and ensures your plan stays cohesive over time.
Are there extra costs associated with these advanced services?
Our advisory fee remains the same regardless of the complexity of your situation. However, some alternative investments carry internal fund costs or platform fees, which we outline clearly before any decision is made. We do not receive commissions or incentives for recommending specific investments—our guidance is always driven by your best interests. Transparency is at the core of our client experience.
