https://youtu.be/xNeFuqsU7A4 Podcast Trailer Welcome to the "Wealth Actually" podcast trailer. I'm FRAZER RICE. After 170 episodes, I thought I'd check in to make sure that everyone understood what to expect from the show going forward, especially if you're new to it. For those newcomers, it was time for a quick podcast trailer. Ultimately, I'll be talking to a lot of different experts in their various fields. By day, I'm a chief operating officer / wealth strategist for large complicated families. This involves wealth management, tax, trustee issues, family dynamics, and the odd business succession story. I'm also a lawyer which means I'm interested in legal issues that surround these concepts. Finally, I enjoy politics and public policy. I grew up in it, and so I like to think about it and its interaction with my day job. Ultimately, this show is paired with a book called Wealth Actually, and the best way to reach me is via www.wealthactually.com. I hope this podcast trailer was helpful. I'm always looking to get it better. If you have guest ideas, topics to explore or or other ways to increase its reach, I'm happy to listen. Finally, if you have other shows that I think are worth experiencing, send them along. (For those repeat listeners, you will notice I changed the theme music too. It's a little more thunder, a lot less synthesizer. Let me know what you think of it.) Enjoy the show and be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends.

"How to Retire" (by Christine Benz) deals with a concept full of fear, emotion, math and uncertainty: retirement. Even the wealthiest, who have a margin of safety, run into issues of purpose, time management and legacy. Layer onto that the risks of longevity, dementia, divorce, managing cash and investments in inflationary times, and navigating the byzantine health and elder care systems. No wonder "retirement" is a scary topic. Christine Benz' new book "How to Retire" is here to help get our arms around this topic. With 20 interviews with experts in the field, Christine has written a terrific reference for retirees to get their arms around this stage in life. Her book covers the numbers, the emotion and the structure for people entering the golden years. CHRISTINE BENZ is director of personal finance and retirement planning for Morningstar and senior columnist for Morningstar.com. In that role, she focuses on retirement and portfolio planning for individual investors. She also co-hosts a podcast for Morningstar, "The Long View", which features in-depth interviews with thought leaders in investing and personal finance. https://www.amazon.com/How-Retire-lessons-successful-retirement-ebook/dp/B0CP5X3TYK/ How to Retire How to Retire with Christine Benz The Numbers (Funding Retirement and Resilient Investing) The Transition to Retirement (AKA "The Countdown") With a plan in mind, what is the role a Dry Run with Retirement?

The pace, scale and sophistication of RIA marketing has accelerated into hyperspace in the last 10 years. There are new business models in wealth management and, thus, new voices and sources of trust. The speed of content creation and publishing is increasing- especially with newer artificial intelligence tools. Social media has made the scope and reach of marketing efforts enormous -- and required firms to be data scientists as much as financial advisers. Finally, where once the firm drove the branding in the RIA space, there appears to be a move back to the star system - where recognizable names create the light that attracts clients. Enter RICHARD HEFT, President of EXT MARKETING - His firm focuses on marketing for RIA's, asset managers, and other financial institutions. The development and execution of marketing strategies are accelerating well past the leadership of the typical RIA. They have to prove to the market that their inorganic growth efforts are real and sustainable in a crowded (and often bland and undifferentiated) space. Richard tells us what he is seeing in the RIA Marketing space. Background- What does EXT do? Richard Heft EXT Marketing What was the opportunity you saw?

PROPUBLICA has taken on the role abdicated by most mainstream news organizations. Its long form journalism, while controversial, takes on many special interests that escape public scrutiny. While I often don't agree with the slant that they take, ProPublica represents a new frontier for the fourth column. Traditional news outlets make less and less business sense. I wanted to find out more about how long form journalism is going to work going forward and how it will apply to financial regulation. So I spoke to JUSTIN ELLIOTT, an Investigative Reporter at ProPublica. Justin has won the Gerald Loeb Award for business journalism, the Selden Ring Award for a series on the American Red Cross and, with the “Trump, Inc.” podcast team, a duPont-Columbia Award. He co-wrote the story revealing tech mogul Peter Thiel's multibillion-dollar Roth IRA which we talk about here. Justin's Path to Reporting The Role of PROPUBLICA in Long Form Journalism What are its origins? What is its mandate? How is it funded? What is the Role of Journalism in (Re) Establishing Accountability in Society? What is Congress' (and the other branches of government) role in fixing the issues that journalism uncovers? Peter Thiel's $5 Billion Roth What happened? (How did Thiel get assets into a Roth IRA with a $2K cap?) How did this work? (Funding a Roth IRA with low value Founders' shares) The "Law", the Intent of the "Law" and the Variability around the "Law"? Is this a valuation issue as much as a legal issue? Is it wrong? How should we correct a distortion like this? What's next for Justin and ProPublica and how do we find him? 2024 Election Coverage Justin at ProPublica Justin at Twitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1YOe9GV0MY https://youtu.be/Ao33oyZJuC8 https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Actually-Intelligent-Decision-Making-1-ebook/dp/B07FPQJJQT Buy "Wealth Actually" Paperback, Kindle and Audio
The transition of wealth between generations has put the spotlight squarely on fiduciary roles. With the rapid changes in the financial services space, directed trustees and independent administrative trust companies have exploded in popularity. The Evolving World of Directed Trustees Most advisors, wealth management firms, and clients under-appreciate the responsibility and risks of proper trusteeship. They remember a culture and business model that existed decades ago. These days, individuals trustees usually can't handle the rigors of the job and law firms are leaving the space for liability reasons. Finally, in an environment where clients want more flexibility and control, the large bank-owned trust departments provide a cumbersome experience and high turnover, With this in mind, modern estate planning has unbundled traditional investment, administrative and distribution trustee roles. There is a huge appetite for jurisdictional planning and best-in-class providers. With all of this change, it is confusing for the advisor to know who is responsible for what and how much it should cost. The Problem for RIAs RIA's do not have the resources to advise or service clients with this complexity. The administration and oversight of these structures is a distraction. Building a trust company to solve this problem does not make business sense in a private equity-backed RIA aggregation environment. Moreover, using conflicted trust providers is out of the question for fear of putting client relationships at risk. An increasingly popular option for RIAs and wealthy families is the use of directed trustees and the independent administrative trust company. CHRISTOPHER HOLTBY is a co-founder of an independent trust company that works specifically with wealth advisors and directed trustees. Not only do we highlight the best practices for identifying and partnering with an administrative trustee, but we also discuss the typical workflow between an RIAs and directed trustees. Chris' Background with Directed Trustees How RIAs work with directed trustees and an independent trust company: 1/ What are the basic requirements of independent trust company? 2/ Accordingly, which "value adds" should RIA firms should look for? 3/ Are there key attributes to spot when deciding to work/partner with an independent trust company? 4/ Lastly, should you be aware of any "Gotchas" in the space?

Welcome back to the 99th episode of the "Wealth Actually" Podcast . . . (We're recording right before Christmas and I'd like give a special thanks to Matthew Passy who helps me sound good and make the trains run on time.) With the end of the year fast approaching, philanthropy is on the minds of many people. For charitable organizations, the mad rush to meet their goals underscores many challenges they face. Understaffed, under-resourced, and using old tools, non-profits face an uphill climb every year. By using marketing technology, Artificial Intelligence and data science tools, a new company is trying to help with this problem. ARJUNA SOLUTIONS applies the same marketing concepts and data science found at the top consumer companies in the world to the non-profit space. To take us through the idea of how technology and the non-profit space can intersect, I'm going to speak to COLIN STEWART. Colin leads Arjuna's groundbreaking philanthropic practice, which enables nonprofits to adopt new technologies and increase revenue more easily via philanthropic funding. We focus on how non-profit organizations can increase their revenue through more data-driven and targeted asks. Finally, we talk about how HNW donors and charities can deepen their relationships and multiply the impact of major gifts in measurable ways through technology. OUTLINE: Technology and the Importance of Philanthropy ARJUNA SOLUTIONS background- What does Arjuna solve? How do you optimize the right amount to ask for so that you get the most out of a donor (without scaring them off)? Arjuna's ExactAsk process-Where does the Artificial Intelligence fit in? What data are you using? How do you manage the data to get the right ask amount?Where does it integrate with the recipient organizations systems?For which organizations is this right? (Large Donor Bases where there is plenty of data to analyze and marketing systems to optimize).How can the AI process help the donor amplify a large gift to an organization?- When multiplying the impact, Is this really a case of a $1 gift generating $3?What does the gift process look look like?Besides potentially more donations, how does it it help the charitable organization?How do you measure success? How does the client measure success?What's next?How do we stay in touch? COLIN STEWART https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Actually-Intelligent-Decision-Making-1-ebook/dp/B07FPQJJQT/
On today's episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast, our host and attorney Scott Smith is joined by Frazer Rice. The two attorney-investors dive right into a deep conversation about asset protection and management, learning financial responsibility, and the true meaning of wealth.Note that this is an episode in our “Live From FinCon 2018” Series. Don't forget to check out the Royal Legal YouTube channel for video extras and other great content. Back to the show...Tune in to Episode 41 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 41 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowFrazer Rice on Wealth Actually and Steps You Can Take To Keep More of Your Investing Income in Your HandFrazer Rice sits down with our host and asset protection attorney, Scott Smith. Together, they chat about Frasier's latest book,[0:45] Frazer is a wealth expert who helps other investors keep as much of their earnings in their own pockets. This includes asset protection, but also tax minimization work. He points out the many ways that the U.S. Government, via taxation, pockets taxpayer dollars through sheer ignorance on the part of the taxpayer.[2:00] Frazer recently authored Wealth Actually: Intelligent Decision-Making for the 1%. The book is full of wisdom for those changing asset classes or “moving up” in the real estate world.[2:30] Scott expresses his admiration for the book, relating his own experiences as an asset protection attorney.[3:15] Frazer points out the need for unique, customized plans: “You could be a doctor with a high litigation risk. You could own a construction company. You could have a high inheritance risk with a drug-addicted sibling. Everyone's situation is different.” Each of these circumstances requires a specific type of risk management, and that's where Frazer's latest work is useful[5:30] Scott asks what motivated Frazer's latest book. Frazer immediately points to taxes, and how to mitigate capital gains and minimize tax liability. He also speaks to how to form an adequate estate plan--advice he routinely gives his clients. Failure to form an estate plan can lead to lengthy litigation, forced sales, and plenty of avoidable fees.[Tweet "“You could be a doctor with a high litigation risk. You could own a construction company. You could have a high inheritance risk with a drug-addicted sibling. Everyone's situation is different.” - Frazer Rice, Real Estate Nerds Ep. 41"]Tools Even Children Can Use for Learning Fiscal ResponsibilityFrazer shares some of his practical tips for working with young people to set them up for a life of financial responsibility. Since financial literacy is generally overlooked in schools, Frazer has taken the initiative to fill this education gap.[7: 20] Frazer lists a couple of exercises for teaching children about investing, preparing them for a lifetime of responsibility. They learn early on about losing as well. Siblings present an ideal situation, as they can work together on exercises to determine their strengths and weaknesses[10:00] Scott inquires whether these concepts are for children only. Frazer replies that financial literacy is something investors can work on at any age. Scott asks how Frazer explains headier concepts like taxes, real estate investing, and problem-solving. Frasier replies that his financial literacy tools are modified for age-appropriateness.[14:00] Scott asks about whether it is worth the effort to train children in their real estate business for seamless transition. Frazer says yes, and that the lessons about wealth are fairly intuitive--and better off taught. He elaborates more on wealth management with some stories from his experiences with clients.[18:30] On the subject of wealth, Frazer points out that a broad definition can improve your life: “There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” Scott agrees, and points out that people can use real estate for passive income to free up time to pursue the things they really enjoy.[21:00] Scott asks a bit more about how children learn from early investing options. Frazer believes if the power of compound interest were taught universally, Americans in general would be doing better.[Tweet "“There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” - Frazer Rice, Episode 41 Real Estate Nerds Podcast"]The Takeaway: Your Approach Can Be What Makes The Deal WorkScott and Frazer wrap up with the take-aways points from their discussion. Both investors agree that a strong backing system and network is vital.[22:40] Scott points out that most investors take mis-steps because of their own blind spots.[23:00] Frazer confirms, and further elaborates that skill sets are diverse, and that's okay: “You don't need to know how to solve every problem..If you're okay at a couple of things, that's a good business model.” Some team members may be better with lenders, while others can crunch the numbers on properties and comps easily. Still others may be more equipped for managing contractors and the properties themselves.

Standout Quotes: * "Something that's happening industry-wide or at least in the US is the concept that being a corporate trustee is a different business than the asset management side of wealth management" - [Frazer] * "Most of the trust planning is articulating a move at the minimum from Gen 1 to Gen 2" - [Frazer] * "I view the Trust and the planning around the Trust to be an outgrowth, when done correctly, of a solid communication structure that has been developed within the family" - [Frazer] * "What the family bank approach is offering to families is a way for them to pass on their intellectual capital...to their human capital, the next generation by having them apply for the financial capital" - [Mike] * "If the kids see what's important to the other kids early, and attach a dollar manifestation around that, I think that you're building the context so you have fewer blow-ups later on" - [Frazer] * "I think the most important thing anyone can have in their lifestyle is the ability to be comfortable in their own skin" - [Frazer] Key Takeaways: * Frazer shares his background and experiences so far, from college to working in politics, after which he decided to study law and gained exposure while working in different firms. His career started down the path of wealth management when he worked with a Trust company. * He is also the author of the book "Wealth Actually" and the host of a podcast that discusses topics related to finance and wealth management even though that was not the initial plan for the podcast. * Pendleton Square Trust is an administrative Trust company that fulfills the function in a Trustee role aimed at helping families get access to good Tennessee jurisdiction. * 3 main Functions of a Trustee: First is the administrative function which includes safeguarding and reporting on assets, paying the taxes. The Second is the distribution of the asset to beneficiaries. The third function is the investment management of the asset which is excluded at Pendleton, Frazer believes most places don't do everything well. * A trustee does not have to be a corporation, it can be an individual acting as a trustee with the ability to perform all 3 key functions, however, it may be difficult to find one person who is great at all functions. * A lot of families would prefer to have more control, and a private trust company allows them to control the aspects they're comfortable with and outsource the rest. * There is a possible conflict where corporate trustees who also provide asset management services invariably provide their asset management services. * The most common customer for the company is a US family that is either actively transferring wealth from the first generation to the second generation or generally has a multi-generational approach. * For those families that have taken their hands off the wheel in terms of managing the wealth, the Trust company operates more like a family office but for those still actively engaged in the continuation of the business, that business becomes the real center of the family office. * One of the real destroyers of wealth is bad communication amongst the family, this leads to conflict, which leads to litigation and litigation is expensive * There's a lot of good work that needs to be done ahead of building the structures so that you're not only setting something up that takes care of the money for the family, you're also getting the family ready for the money. * Family or Shared Philanthropy is one of the tools that helps to work with families as it gets the family members to express their interests and helps them work together while considering the needs of each other. * The Vacation Fund Concept: This is another tool, and the idea is to have the kids make a joint decision around the investment of money by getting them to plan the vacation based on a particular amount available. It helps identify which kids have aptitude and interest, the aggressive or conservative ones, and other responses exhibited by the kids towards the task. Summarily the kids get involved in financial planning and learn critical points related to it. * The idea of a Family Bank is putting structure around the request of money for projects so that it forces preparedness in front of real people who have to make a decision. Learning that persuasion is important helps the next generation to deal with the real world. * It also provides an opportunity to combat the situation of assets growing linearly being overtaken by liabilities growing geometrically, as more opportunities explored can increase the growth of assets. * There's a big difference between Operational succession and Ownership Succession of a family business, the difference in roles may mean some people get paid more but this needs to be discussed earlier on before the transition period. * From Frazer to his kids: I think the most important thing anyone can have in their lifestyle is the ability to be comfortable in their skin. The concept of trying to please other people's sense of success is a difficult road because you're never going to please everyone all the time, more so you will be running from things that could be your path to success. o * Run your own race, be comfortable in your own skin.

The 75th "Wealth Actually" Podcast . . . Wow . . . it seems like I just started this project a few months ago. It has been 4 and a half years since the first one . . . it's alarming how fast time flies. Hopefully, I have improved over time! This 75th recording is an industry specific interview, but it has wide ramifications. In getting up to speed on a different project, I stumbled across the book "Ethics for Trustees 2.0" by MARGUERITE LORENZ. Based in California, Marguerite is a Master Trustee and the Managing Partner of LORENZ PRIVATE TRUSTEES. https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Trustees-2-0-Guide-Trustee/dp/172837278X/ Ethic for Trustees 2.0 is a quick and extremely informative read on the roles and responsibilities of a trustee and the establishment of good practices around decision-making that involves judgment and discretion. It also went into some detail about the California licensing component of individual trustees- something I knew little about. So in typical "me" fashion, I called up Marguerite to find out more about the book and her firm's unique practice. That led to her gracious appearance on the latest "Wealth, Actually" podcast. We covered: -Her unique background and the formation of her private trustee business. (It has its own unique succession story too!) -Marguerite's rationale and experience in writing the book -The Definitions of a Trust, their uses and some of the nomenclature -The Duties of a Trustee/Fiduciary- (many of which trustees aren't aware of)! -What makes a good trustee? How does one deal with arguing beneficiaries? Tricky assets? -The Origin of CALIFORNIA LICENSING FOR PROFESSIONAL TRUSTEES (and why it may be important for normally exempted attorneys and CPAs to get licensed. -When does advice graduate from being to transactional to ongoing and how does it relate to administration of structures and discretionary decision-making? -Traps for the unwary trustee -What functions or areas of trustee responsibility are good to ask for help? When do you bring in outside experts? -Useful Resources and Groups: INDEPENDENT TRUSTEE ALLIANCE ESTATE PLANNING GROUP NETWORK -How do we stay in touch?

Here is the first video foray for the "Wealth Actually" podcast (a bit by accident! We had to switch formats midstream . . . so I decided to experiment with the video format). I interviewed Christopher Ott on #Cybersecurity for the Ultra High Net Worth, High Net Worth and Family Office space. We talk about how one should view their own digital risks, how to protect yourself, and what to do when you have been compromised. We kept it to 40 minutes and probably could have discussed issues for more than three hours. Chris is a partner at Rothwell Figg, the litigation firm based in Washington, D.C. Successfully litigating complex data security matters, conducting hundreds of investigations, and winning dozens of appeals, Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Ott held various influential positions at DOJ including Supervisory Cyber Counsel to the National Security Division of the DOJ, In these roles, he investigated and charged the largest known computer hacking and securities fraud scheme and the hack of Yahoo by Russian intelligence operatives, the largest data breach in history, https://youtu.be/XzYwkjA1qiA BASICS Cybersecurity- the main concerns are around the ability to control access and use of information. Everybody has at least three types of information PREDICTIVE DATA This is data that will help predict what you are going to do. This is especially useful for hackers and other criminals as they figure out how to access your data. CONTROLLING DATA This is data that regulates the access to a client's information. This can include: Passwords (and the need for two factor control, Phones (with automatic password access that can be migrated), and "Deep Fake" video and voice that can trick the gatekeepers into relinquishing access INFLUENCE This can include social, political, or economic influence. THREE TYPES OF ADVERSARIES Criminals Spies Hybrid hackers -Russian Type -Chinese Type SPECIAL CONCERNS FOR HNW INDIVIDUALS More data More control Much more influence · Direct socio-political · Indirect socio-political WHAT IS IMPORTANT? § Control · Analog passwords · Never take shortcuts · Device security § Two Factor INFORMATIONAL AUDITS (DATA MAPPING) § What do I have? § How do I control it? § Who else has access to it? CONVENIENCE VS. SECURITY § BEC § Sim Jacking § Deep fake audio and video WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED Understand What You Have and What Your Risks Are Have Advisors In Place Don't Panic- Assess the Situation Implement Action Plan Some Quick Ideas to Protect Yourself and Your Business . . . Establish an action plan in case of a breach or other compromise. Emphasize personal relationships with all business transactions. Make sure that you have personal relationships with your advisors and transactors so that there is layer of common sense behind communications. Audit what you and your family put out in the world of social media both from a cybersecurity AND from a PERSONAL security standpoint. Consider having a policy- even if informal- to prevent predators having access to physical information. Use multi-factor authentication procedure to confirm and verify instructions (ESPECIALLY for wire transfers or money transactions). Encrypt emails that include private information such as bank details, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, etc. Back up all data off-site on a regular basis. Regularly change passwords and use different passwords for platforms so that one breach doesn't turn into a cascading data breach on other systems. Perform regular cyber audits to make sure confidential information is secure and that accessible information to the public is properly scrutinized. Avoid clicking on links and being suspicious of attachments.
In this episode of "Wealth Actually", I speak with George Hubbard. George is the Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Algonquin Advisors, a Registered Investment Adviser that focusses on large families, foundations, endowments and other pools of money. He and his firm bring a unique approach to family investment management that uses tried and true institutional principles. Pay special attention to our discussion around alternative assets and the role of the asset class for family investments. George also talks about bringing "trustee" principles to investment implementation. And in honor of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, we talk about what his dream foursome would be and where it would be played. Introduction Algonquin Advisors T21 Trustees What are the differences between institutional investment thinking and HNW thinking? Taxation Issues Time horizons Liquidity needs (Yale model) Return expectations Access/Deal Flow Position sizing "Real" Due Diligence (how much time/resources should one expect to expend in researching a manager/deal?) The power of concentration to build wealth Where alternatives fit in asset allocation Function of Alternatives Diversification Other types of risk the traditional investor is missing? The ultimate importance of having the private equity portion of a portfolio fund future vintages out of current private equity distributions. (While this is obvious in the institutional world, this kind of thinking is largely absent from most advice to investors who are "sold" private equity!). What can be borrowed from institutional processes to help Individuals make fewer rookie mistakes? Starting at the Beginning: The Investment Policy Statement and The Asset Allocation The Importance of a "Forensic Review" What comprises a "Forensic Review"? The Importance of "Intentional" Investment Decisions How should a trustee think about these things in a true "fiduciary" capacity? Importance of cash management, lock-ups, multiple time horizons, multiple beneficiaries, multiple interests What are the Alternative Asset Classes that investors are focussing on now? -Private Equity (LBO, Venture) -Private Credit -Hedge Funds / derivatives -Managed Futures -Commodities -Real Estate -Infrastructure -Collectibles -Insurance T21 and the Importance of Getting the Right People into Fiduciary Roles for Families George's Golf Dream Foursome How do we keep track of George and the firms?

Part of the fun of the Wealth Actually podcast is to delve into topics around wealth management and better ways to help families understand the intersection between wealth and the fulfillment of goals and ideals. I also get to speak to people as they describe their entrepreneurial journeys- which in itself provides many lessons on the path to success. Occasionally, you get both in one conversation. Enter Betsy Brown. In this episode, we talk about: Betsy's background at larger institutions and the entrepreneur "bug" The changing Wealth Management Industry The desperate need for independence and customization for clients The appeal of Tennessee as a legal jurisdiction, a growing business haven, and a nexus for diversified businesses How this led her to the formation of Pendleton Square Trust Company. The development of her support system and the importance of having a community of entrepreneurs to lean on and share ideas (and opportunities!). The importance of story-telling in communicating, not just to the families she speaks with, but the market at large The influencers in her life that provide her "north star". This is a particularly fun I get to see this up close as I work with Pendleton Square Trust Company to bring the message of benefits of Tennessee law to the advisors for family offices, foundations and fiduciaries in the Northeast and beyond. More information about the firm and Betsy can be found on the links below: LINKEDIN: BETSY BROWN Transcript Tell us about the origin of the firm and what makes it special: We chartered Pendleton Square Trust Company in October of 2015- so we are about to celebrate our 5 year anniversary! Happy Birthday, Pendleton Square! We are a chartered trust company regulated by the TN Department of Financial Institutions. The opportunity came about from listening to families frustrated with the traditional corporate trustee options. We also studied and implemented accounting and administration technology platforms to build our dream independent trust company. I always use the term “we” because it took a team. My partner Derek Church is a genius- he is an attorney and oversees regulatory, compliance and operation side of the business- our board and investors believed in us and supported our plans to build a best in class independent trust company. Our trust officers and team members are serving our families and building efficient processes. I want to stress that we are an independent trust company- our definition of independent is that we are not affiliated with other banks or financial institutions- we focus on trust administration and we do not manage the liquid assets. As a fiduciary we are held by law to the highest standard of responsibility. Our model is designed to avoid conflicts of interest and provide a natural system of checks and balances, we are not managing assets or drafting estate planning documents. In addition- our fee structure is simple and transparent. I also want to share how the concept of INTERdependence is extremely important for our model. We are interdependent on the network of advisors surrounding the family- the financial advisors, estate planning attorneys, family CPAs, insurance specialists. There is constant communication and collaboration with our partners as we serve the family. In many cases, the financial advisor is the quarterback of the relationship- we are there to assist and provide the backbone of trust and estate services. How did you get into the trust business? I cannot believe that I am approaching 25 years in the financial services industry. I grew up in the traditional big bank environment- and I am so thankful for my strong credit and analysis background. I spent 10 years in Debt Capital Markets- a true transaction business- but my mentor always told me I should be in the long-term relationship business. I transitioned to private wealth and trust business for the next 10.
Trusts aren't just for rich people! If you want to protect your assets, tune in. If you want to leave a legacy, tune in. If you are the executor of anyone's estate, you'll want to tune in. Frazer Rice, author of Wealth Actually, joins us to discuss estate planning strategies. Questions? Email me: Mpolicar@hightoweradvisors.com
In the latest episode of the Wealth Actually podcast, we get to sit down with Scott Johnston the author of Campusland.

In the first part of the podcast, we talked about the incident at his alma mater that got him to write his newest book. We also dove into the business of being an author and the typical hurdles that new authors face. Finally, we spent some time reviewing the typical timetable and scheduling that goes into the production and launch of a book. In the second part, we probed some ground around Campusland's subject matter: the new environment of the college campus and what that means today. A description of the problem Scott saw on campuses and why it was great material to write about.The effect of wealth in the collegiate process both at the endowment and the student level.What are the numbers and the data behind the college environment?How did the admissions numbers game get so lopsided?When did the college campus environment change from the goals of inclusion and diversity of thought to other agendas?What is the impact on the politics of this country?Do alumni have any other options than to divorce themselves and their checkbook from their schools?Was the recent admissions bribery scandal to be expected?What is the impact of online learning? Coronavirus absences?The coming financial difficulties for smaller collegesCan a major university close down? Should it close down?What is the way forward?

HOUSEKEEPING: Podcasts are scheduled to post every Thursday morning just before the EST commute . . . and now for this week's podcast. Occasionally, you get to look at someone's vision for the future and it fires one's intellectual synapses. In this case, we came across a post at the beginning of the year that fit the bill. It comes from New York venture capitalist, FRED WILSON. In this podcast, we take each of his prognostications in turn . . . his list of ten themes and the full (and interesting) post is linked below. Enjoy and let us which themes we should all be thinking about. https://avc.com/2020/01/what-will-happen-in-the-2020s/ Fred Wilson: What Will Happen In The 2020s 1/ The looming climate crisis will be to this century what the two world wars were to the previous one. 2/ Automation will continue to take costs out of operating many of the services and systems that we rely on to live and be productive. 3/ China will emerge as the world’s dominant global superpower leveraging its technical prowess and ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities. Conversely the US becomes increasingly internally focused and isolationist in its world view. 4/ Countries will create and promote digital/crypto versions of their fiat currencies, led by China who moves first and benefits the most from this move. 5/ A decentralized internet will emerge, led initially by decentralized infrastructure services like storage, bandwidth, compute, etc. 6/ Plant based diets will dominate the world by the end of the decade. Eating meat will become a delicacy, much like eating caviar is today. Much of the world’s food production will move from farms to laboratories. 7/ The exploration and commercialization of space will be dominated by private companies as governments increasingly step back from these investments. 8/ Mass surveillance by governments and corporations will become normal and expected this decade and people will increasingly turn to new products and services to protect themselves from surveillance. 9/ We will finally move on from the Baby Boomers dominating the conversation in the US and around the world and Millennials and Gen-Z will be running many institutions by the end of the decade. 10/ Continued advancements in genetics will produce massive wins this decade as cancer and other terminal illnesses become well understood and treatable.
