Case Study

Strategic Planning for Your Liquidity Event

Our client, a successful entrepreneur who recently sold their business, sought advice to navigate their liquidity event. After devoting decades to building their business and ultimately deciding to sell, they reached out to us in advance for guidance. By engaging with our team, we were able to provide them with comprehensive assistance on all aspects of the transaction. The objective was to create a plan for retirement, and make a positive impact through charitable contributions, while minimizing tax implications for today and estate taxes for the future.

Asset Allocation:

Our team of advisors recognize the significance of asset allocation to preserve and grow wealth. Through an in-depth analysis of their financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon, a customized investment portfolio was crafted, utilizing a balanced mix of stocks, bonds, and alternative investments (for a qualified investor).

Charitable Contributions:

Our team assessed their philanthropic interests and developed a strategic plan. By establishing a donor-advised fund, they could contribute a portion of his proceeds to the fund, receive tax benefits, and make grants to charities over time, ensuring a lasting impact.

Legacy Planning:

Our team facilitated the creation of an estate plan, including wills, trusts, and power of attorney documents. By incorporating tax-efficient strategies, such as gifting and the use of insurance policies, they could provide for their loved ones while minimizing potential estate taxes.

By proactively engaging with us, our client successfully navigated the complexities of their liquidity event. The asset allocation plan created a prudent investment strategy, while charitable contributions enabled them to make a positive difference in the world. Moreover, through legacy planning, they ensured a smooth transition of their wealth to future generations, leaving a lasting impact on their family and society as a whole.
