CarriageGate Steward Retirement Program℠

When Wealth Becomes More Complex, Coordination Matters More

Coordinating the whole financial picture

As wealth grows, the challenge often becomes less about any single investment or financial decision and more about how all the decisions work together.

Investments. Retirement income. Taxes. Estate planning. Insurance. Family priorities. Business interests.

Each may be handled reasonably well on its own, yet important opportunities and risks can still emerge when no one is looking across the entire picture.

The CarriageGate Steward Retirement Program℠ is designed for selected families with substantial assets and greater financial complexity who want a more coordinated approach.

See the Whole Board

We believe significant financial decisions should not be made in isolation.

The Steward relationship is designed to help identify where one decision may affect another and to bring greater coordination across the important areas of your financial life.

Depending upon your circumstances, that may include:

  • Retirement income and cash-flow planning

  • Investment strategy and portfolio coordination

  • Tax-planning opportunities

  • Estate and legacy considerations

  • Insurance and risk management

  • Business and real-estate interests

  • Coordination with your CPA, attorney and other professional advisors

Our role is not to replace the other professionals you rely upon. It is to help make sure the relevant pieces are being considered together.

More Than Investment Management Wealth planning beyond investment management

Traditional wealth management may be entirely appropriate for many successful families.

But some financial situations reach a point where managing the portfolio alone is no longer enough.

The Steward Retirement Program℠ may be appropriate when you have substantial assets combined with issues such as multiple investment accounts, trusts, significant real estate, business interests, complex tax considerations, estate-planning concerns, or several professionals providing advice without someone coordinating the overall strategy.

In those situations, our objective is straightforward:

See the whole board. Identify the important gaps. Establish priorities. Coordinate the strategy. Keep it working together as circumstances change.

A Selective Relationship

The CarriageGate Steward Retirement Program℠ is not intended for every client.

It is an invitation-only relationship for families whose financial circumstances warrant a greater degree of planning and coordination—and who value having an advisor take an active role in helping keep the pieces aligned.

The first step is simply determining whether that level of relationship is appropriate for you.

Could Something Important Be Getting Missed?

Our Steward Risk Assessment℠ was created to help successful families identify potential gaps involving retirement, investments, taxes, estate planning, risk management and financial coordination.

The risk assessment is designed to be a practical first step in identifying whether a deeper planning conversation may be valuable.

Before making major financial decisions, it can be valuable to understand whether all the important pieces of your financial life are working together.
