Acquired Wealth

We work with individuals who have recently acquired assets and need a conservative approach to investment portfolio management.

Scenario
This client has just sold his company to a strategic buyer. He may start another company in the future, but doesn’t have definitive plans yet. Due to recent market events, he is concerned about losing principal. He was referred to our practice by the M&A attorney who completed the sale.

Client’s Objectives

• Maintain liquidity for possible next business venture.
• Take a conservative approach to mitigate the risk of losing the windfall.
• Generate income from proceeds, preferably tax free.
• Create an estate plan to protect family and personal interests.

Possible Solutions

• Identify immediate income needs and liquid investments for next business venture.
• Use forecasting models to decide appropriate allocation for future growth and income needs.
• Construct short-term, high-quality municipal bond portfolio to generate tax-free income. Remain mindful of potentially higher interest rates.
• Develop and maintain an open relationship with an estate planning attorney and CPA.*
