Affluent clients with multi-million dollar investment accounts may want something different than our model portfolios. Many RIAs do NOT have the capabilities to create “custom” portfolios for clients (especially if they are “actively” managed). Investment Principal Joe Maas does and by our IARs having access to this service, it will help them market to and onboard more affluent clients.
1) In the education/sales process it means Joe will get on the phone and talk with the client. This can take multiple calls and several hours of everyone’s time.
2) Custom portfolio management—while we believe our portfolios at AS Wealth Management are terrific, affluent clients, many times, want something custom. Joe can create custom portfolios with a certain amount of risk while trying to reach for a certain rate of return.
3) Hedge Funds—many times affluent clients will be candidates to use a hedge fund. Joe’s firm has two hedge funds that are unique platforms to use when trying to onboard more affluent clients.
4) Advanced Planning—while available to all clients of AS Wealth Management affiliated advisors, affluent clients will need help with asset protection, estate planning, corporate buyouts, etc. Help on these topics will be overseen by Advisory Board Member Roccy DeFrancesco, JD, CAPP, CMP who will bring in other team members as needed to help.
