OUR DESIGN
DECADES OF SERVICE
CONTRIBUTING OUR EXPERIENCE
We collaborate with our clients, drawing on experience involving hundreds of high-net-worth families. Our principles experience spans decades of service, including nearly a thousand transactions and over $80 billion of at-risk capital, involving transactions or clients in more than 50 countries. We work seamlessly and effectively together with a network of global affiliates and partners. Our knowledge and control of that network of support grants our firm unique access to options that allow us to more effectively diversify and mitigate risk and reduce conflicts of interest or other friction that can frustrate our client or our collective intentions.
THOUGHTFUL STRUCTURE
INTENTIONAL ALIGNMENT
Our structure is intentionally designed to provide options and scalability. Each of our principles is an essential component of executing a comprehensive strategy related to our client’s objectives, seamlessly integrating specialties such as investment analysis and execution, legal, tax, accounting, and compliance services, and other functions naturally connected to the core focus of our work. Our clients do not overburden themselves with overly complicated, opaque workflows, or team organizational charts. Each engagement involves a process in which we collectively determine an appropriate single point of principal-level contact.
That principle is then, along with our client, empowered to access and coordinate the full scope of expertise and experience to which they have access, while at the same time transparently and clearly illustrating costs incurred, parties involved, and similar matters. Overseeing, without complicating the goals of our clients.
We want to have our client observe and help inform the design of their advisory team and service providers. This simply enhances transparency and creates a more seamless and comfortable environment in which we all can work collaboratively with cost efficiency and clarity of target outcomes.
COORDINATED AND CONFLICT-FREE SERVICES
FIDUCIARIES AND ADVISORS
We are both fiduciaries and advisors. Being principle investors ourselves, our organizational structure reflects this reality. Our principles maintain advanced licensure related to our work and expand the portfolio consistently to keep up with changes in the global regulatory climate.
We are not under the umbrella of a titanic sales platform, nor limited by being a boutique without long experience. We leverage our skills, in-house talent, and decades of work history to give clients solutions that are customized and generally focus on either:
- Fiduciary or regulated oversight roles
- Service-based and purely advisory roles
In both cases, our core objective is to deliver the most appropriate service for our clients’ needs. It is possible for us to do this via our affiliated registered investment advisory platform or on a purely consultative basis.
In either case, our investment philosophy, and the opportunities with which we align our practices, maintain a rigid focus on a core objective of preserving capital on a long-term basis and enjoying value appreciation through actual value creation.
