Multigenerational planning

Wealth strategies for every generation

Our integrated wealth planning approach can help you see the connections between all aspects of your financial world, including investments, your business, banking, lending, insurance, trust and estate, and philanthropy. The rigor of our friendly service model gives us a genuine sense of clients’ multigenerational needs.

Trust and estate planning strategies. We have the experience and the network to help with preserving your assets, reducing estate tax exposure and transitioning wealth to future generations. We will coordinate with your tax and legal professionals as well as the firm’s trust specialists.

Banking and lending services. We can provide options for your unique situation.

“By doing more for clients and their families, we play key roles in their lives—especially during challenging transitions and difficult circumstances. We stay in touch and on top of clients’ goals for themselves, their children and grandchildren.”

— Scott Zelniker

Insurance and review. We offer insurance strategies as a way to help protect your family’s assets, replace income and create a legacy for future generations and philanthropic beneficiaries.

Philanthropic advice. We’ll work with you and family members to provide education on philanthropy and practical solutions for the next generation. Our advice addresses tax-efficient investment strategies, your current charitable goals and contributions, and access to local organizations.

Investment management

Proactive investment management in good times and bad

Our focus is on income preservation, helping to provide the assurance of a long-term strategy that is centered on the cash flow you need to maintain your lifestyle. As your active, discretionary investment manager or by working with select UBS managers, we build highly customized portfolios from a broad array of investments.

Tailored asset allocation. Our customized allocations help you seize opportunities and manage risk in a volatile market. The result is a complete understanding of your priorities that helps us provide tangible results.

Manage risk. With a balanced emphasis on helping to minimize market risk, building diversified portfolios and maintaining liquidity, we diligently monitor and review your strategy to help mitigate downside risk.

“We’re not controlled by outside mandates or benchmarks. We’re driven by research and client goals. We actively rotate sectors, adjust equity-to-cash ratios and use dividends to dampen volatility.”

— Peter Dorfman

Portfolio management. Members of the UBS Portfolio Management Program, we are qualified to serve as your personal investment managers. Using the firm’s top-down views of markets and asset classes, we can tailor your portfolios to your risk profile, time horizon and goals.

A personalized client experience. Our clients rely on our proactive and consistent client service team for a host of financial and administrative needs. This means taking extra steps to provide customized reporting, help organize tax information or simplify daily financial and investment issues.

“Clients we serve are busy and their concerns always take precedence. We take each client’s well-being personally—as if we were serving our own families.”

— Jolene Tepedino

Personalized access and service for diverse clients

Understanding the full cycle of business needs

Whether you’re building capital and growing your business, selling your company, looking to manage existing liquid assets or transferring wealth, we have a honed process for helping you make smart, informed financial decisions.

We address the full cycle of business needs from strategic business financing to discretionary portfolio management to succession and exit strategies. Working closely with our UBS Boutique Banking Network, we provide access to investment banking services regardless of the size of the transaction.

Pre-liquidity planning. Our process begins with critical pre-liquidity planning through execution and closing.

Post-liquidity wealth management. To help inform our recommendations about deal structure, valuation opportunities and tax considerations, we’ll coordinate with our network of UBS and third-party specialists.


Providing for those you love—today and for all their tomorrows

Long-term planning is more important than ever. Many of today’s younger investors’ attitudes about stability and market volatility was shaped and influenced by the crisis of 2008.

We work across generations—with our multigenerational team—to address your growth strategies, insurance and lending solutions, wealth transfer and preservation, estate planning and philanthropic pursuits.

A number of our clients are successful women who trust us to deal with their most sensitive financial issues. We help them navigate the financial and legal hurdles they may face professionally when starting a business or new career, or personally during a separation, divorce or loss of a loved one.
