INDIVIDUALS

· Have at least $500,000 in investable assets
· Are saving for and approaching retirement 
· Are family oriented with complex estate planning needs 
· Received newly found wealth (retirement plan distribution, stock options, inheritance)
· Often have concentrated stock positions through their company
· Are concerned about taxes associated with estate and wealth transfer 
· Are often too busy to manage details/direction of their investments alone
