• Design bespoke portfolio strategies for high-net-worth clients, addressing concentrated positions, tax-efficient transitions, legacy planning, or other advanced considerations
• Assess the suitability of clients’ and prospective clients’ outside annuities or alternative holdings in the context of their broader financial picture
