Financial Planning

Wealth management is not investment management alone. Each aspect of your wealth affects at least one and usually several other dynamics of your overall finances. To help you see the big picture, your team aims to organize all facets of your wealth.

  • Cash flow projections and planning
  • Retirement planning
  • Education planning

 

Investment Management Services

We operate an institutional-grade investment management approach that we customize precisely to your situation. The result is portfolio recommendations based on strategic and tactical asset allocation and prudent diversification.

  • Asset allocation
  • Manager selection and monitoring
  • Performance reporting

 

Income Tax Planning

Staying on top of changes in state, federal, corporate and other taxes is a massive undertaking. With roots in accounting, Waldron aims to provide proactive advice on how to structure all your holdings so they may retain their greatest value.

  • Income tax mitigation analysis and strategies
  • Intra-family loan structuring and tracking
  • Captive insurance company analysis, implementation and management
  • Coordination of investment portfolio with entity ownership

 

Family Enterprise Services

Waldron’s family enterprise service’s goal is to provide the framework and guidance that allows successful multigenerational families to preserve their assets through a carefully designed structure marked by a shared vision and collaboration.

  • Family stewardship
  • Family philanthropic guidance
  • Family education and transition counseling

 

Trust and Estate Planning

You may have perfect clarity about how you want your wealth to impact future generations. Realizing those wishes, while retaining as much control of your wealth as possible, can be less than crystal clear. Waldron’s professionals in trust and estate planning will lead the way.

  • Strategy development, structuring and implementation, reporting
  • Annual gifting execution, tracking, and administration
  • Trust administration/reporting and trustee assistance services
  • Onshore and offshore trust planning and family limited partnership planning

 

Trust Services

Waldron Private Wealth is a Trust Representative Office of National Advisors Trust Company (NATC) and National Advisors Trust of South Dakota, Inc. (NATSD) doing business as Waldron Private Trust. In addition to our relationship with NATC, Waldron also maintains strategic relationships with other corporate trustees, allowing us to offer clients a broad range of trust solutions tailored to their unique needs.

  • Administer new living/revocable, irrevocable, testamentary, charitable, dynasty, asset protection and educational trusts
  • Serve as trustee for existing or new trusts and integrate them into your wealth planning strategy
  • Conduct comprehensive trust administration

 

Insurance and Asset Protection Strategies

For those with extraordinarily high net worth, wealth management is as much about conservation and protection as it is growth. Asset protection is essential and goes hand-in-hand with the tax, estate planning and insurance strategies designed to preserve wealth for generations.

  • Insurance review/coverage summary and analysis/placement
  • Private placement insurance and concierge medical services
  • Exposure evaluation and customized asset protection programs
  • Offshore trust planning

 

Family Office Support Services

Waldron family office personnel are dedicated to managing your finances and executing the ancillary services that entails. From establishing and staffing a new family office, to overseeing the orderly dissolution of a long-time office as wealth is transferred to the next generation, we seek to provide unmatched guidance.

  • Establishing family office governance, mission and vision, and compliance structure
  • Enhanced account aggregation and investment reporting
  • Education of next generation and family philanthropy

 

Executive Compensation and Benefits

Because we are intimately familiar with your financial picture, we can provide options on the most advantageous ways to structure your compensation and benefits, explore how your options fit into your overall planning strategy, and clarify the impact of possible contingencies.

  • Corporate benefits analysis
  • Executive compensation

 

Business Owner Advisory Services

From establishing a business, through its sale and beyond, Waldron will work with you to create a roadmap of advisory services to help you realize your goals and achieve your vision of success.

  • Valuation coordination
  • Business growth consulting and succession planning
  • Entity ownership structuring
  • Pre-business sale transaction planning
  • Buy/sell agreement consulting and funding

 

Next Generation Wealth Planning and Education

Being an heir to extraordinary wealth brings unique challenges that don’t often come with a roadmap. That’s precisely why Waldron created a formal course to prepare the next generation of your family to assume their responsibilities with confidence.

  • Comprehensive family education
  • Transition counseling
