Investment Planning
Many of our clients wonder what they should do with their retained earnings held by their company. A corporate investment portfolio can offer some distinct tax advantages compared to personally investing the money. We assist our clients by building a tax differed corporate investment strategy regardless of whether the funds are intended for long-term business growth or retirement. Our team draws upon a suite of investment and insurance tools for these purposes. High net worth investors have access to our integrated Private Wealth Planning team.
Estate & Succession Planning
Many business owners will be approaching retirement over the next 10 to 15 years. However, few have likely made any succession or estate plans to transfer ownership. Others have questions about changes to business ownership: How do you sell or pass down your business to your children, and maximize the value? How are capital gains taxes paid in the event of a premature death of a business partner or owner? How can we maximize the value to be passed onto family or charity? We assist clients with all of these concerns and reducing the overall impact of taxes. We draw upon a suite of tax preferred products and the creative use of permanent life insurance.
