Foundations of Elite Wealth Strategy
For luxury clients, goals extend well past performance: continuity of family values, privacy, influence, and joyful use of time. Start by articulating a values map, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and red-line constraints. Share your guiding principle in the comments, and inspire a more intentional community.
Portfolio Construction for Luxury Clients
Anchor long-term goals with a low-cost, tax-aware core. Surround it with satellite exposures—private equity, venture, real assets—aligned to differentiated edges. Rebalancing is a discipline, not an event. Draft an investment policy that codifies ranges, decision rights, and crisis procedures, then share your approach.
Portfolio Construction for Luxury Clients
Private credit, hedge funds, secondaries, and niche real estate can smooth returns, but timelines and liquidity vary widely. Build a liquidity ladder that respects lifestyle demands. A reader once faced a capital call while a property closed—avoid that by matching commitments to predictable cash flow. Comment if you’ve navigated similar crunches.
Stewardship of Illiquid Treasures
Authenticate artworks and collectibles with rigorous provenance, reference-quality photography, and updated appraisals. Catalog serial numbers, ownership structures, and movement history. Work with specialist insurers who understand restoration risk and transit protocols. Share your cataloging tips to help others protect their treasures.
Stewardship of Illiquid Treasures
Aircraft, villas, and yachts require budgets, maintenance calendars, and compliance logs. Chartering can offset costs, but clarity on crew agreements and usage priority prevents friction. One family saved seven figures by centralizing vendor management. Subscribe for our operating checklist and negotiation scripts.
Legacy, Philanthropy, and Next-Gen Education
A Family Narrative That Endures
Capture origin stories, pivotal decisions, and the responsibilities that follow success. A legacy letter, read annually, aligns generations better than any spreadsheet. Host reflective retreats with a facilitator and document agreements. Post your favorite tradition to inspire other families.
Philanthropy with Measurable Outcomes
Use donor-advised funds, private foundations, or mission-related investments to target change with accountability. Define theories of change and track metrics like outcomes, not only grants. Invite heirs onto grant committees. Comment with a cause you care about, and we may feature it next week.
Preparing Heirs for Responsibility
Blend financial literacy, investment shadow boards, and real-world internships. One teenager chaired a mock investment committee and later led due diligence on a small venture bet. Structure safe-to-fail arenas for learning. Subscribe to receive our age-based curriculum overview.
Liquidity, Credit, and Opportunistic Moves
01
Segment cash into operational, strategic, and emergency buckets across currencies and jurisdictions. Employ T‑bills, high-grade funds, and flexible sweep solutions. Maintain visibility through a daily dashboard. Share how you track cash so others can refine their systems.
02
Securities-based lending, art-backed lines, and NAV facilities can be efficient—until covenants tighten. Model margin calls under stress and cap loan-to-value. One client avoided forced sales by prearranging standby credit. Comment with your favorite covenant to negotiate.
03
Keep a watchlist, pre-clear governance, and line up dry powder to act when markets misprice. Document position sizing and exit criteria in advance. After March 2020, disciplined buyers outperformed by sticking to prepared playbooks. Subscribe and tell us which opportunities you monitor now.
