We can create a custom plan to help manage wealth that comes from an unexpected event, specifically related to the sale of a closely held business, sale of real estate or other family asset, capital markets transactions such as an initial public offering, substantial inheritances, lump-sum retirement payouts, divorce, legal settlements, exercising stock options and unexpected financial windfalls.

We offer full-service asset management for clients who prefer to utilize the skills and expertise of professional money managers. A comprehensive process helps match your unique goals and risk tolerance with an asset allocation model that’s right for you – from capital preservation to asset growth designed to meet your long-term goals.

Asset Management Services – Personal asset management of individual portfolios by professional asset managers is now available to most investors. The advantages are that the manager understands the objectives of the investor and focuses all of his or her working day on the selection of investments for and the subsequent monitoring of client portfolios.

Institutional Consulting Services – Objective advice for all aspects of institutional consulting – from strategy development and investment research to reporting and periodic reviews. We understand the importance of our institutional clients meeting their investment stewardship obligations. No matter your goals, we can work with you to develop a consulting solution tailored to the needs of your organization.

Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

Risk analysis is the process of measuring and analyzing the risk associated with financial and investment decisions. It is important in making investment decisions because of the amount of capital involved and the long-term nature of the investments being considered. A general rule of thumb is the higher the risk, the greater the return that must be earned to compensate for it.

Philanthropy can bring personal satisfaction, enabling you to support causes and organizations that matter most to you. It can result in significant tax advantages, as well – including income tax deductions, reduction of capital gains taxes, and lower estate taxes. We can help tailor a charitable giving plan for you that can include a charitable trust, donor advised fund, pooled income fund, private family foundation, community foundation or outright gift.

Raymond James and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. You should discuss any tax or legal matters with the appropriate professional.

Donors are urged to consult their attorneys, accountants or tax advisors with respect to questions relating to the deductibility of various types of contributions to a Donor-Advised Fund for federal and state tax purposes. To learn more about the potential risks and benefits of Donor Advised Funds, please contact us.

Whether it’s providing income for a spouse, educating children or grandchildren or leaving money to your favorite charity, proper estate planning can help ensure that your assets accumulated over your lifetime are preserved for the use you have intended.

A well-designed estate plan can effectively help mitigate your family’s tax burden. We can offer financial strategies designed to efficiently manage the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next, make the most of charitable giving, maximize potential with education funding and mitigate related tax issues. By coordinating our efforts with your tax and legal professionals and working closely with you and your family, we will strive to help you establish a financial tradition that can be passed on for generations.

Through Raymond James Trust N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, our team can offer a variety of personal trust services including serving as trustee or as an agent or custodian for individual trustees, as well as serving living trusts, charitable remainder trusts, life insurance trusts, specialty trusts and IRA rollover trusts.

Please be aware that there may be substantial fees, charges and costs associated with establishing a charitable remainder trust.

Since insurance helps protect you in case of accident, illness, disability or death, it plays a crucial role in your comprehensive financial plan. Through Raymond James, we can provide a wide array of quality insurance alternatives that can offer an important layer of safety for you, your family, your business or your organization.

For example, we can help you build a protective cushion with life and disability insurance, preserve your estate with long-term care insurance and combine protection and tax-advantaged growth opportunities with annuities.

These policies have exclusions and/or limitations. The cost and availability of Long Term Care insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of Long Term Care insurance. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the insurance company.

Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of strategy selected.

Because people are living longer today, the possibility of going 30 years without a paycheck takes careful retirement planning and disciplined investing. Once in retirement, preserving your wealth and maintaining your lifestyle are likely among your highest priorities. You aspire to stay in your home as long as you want and be able to leave behind the legacy you had envisioned. We can help you prepare for this most significant milestone in life.

You're here because you know the person that matters most in your retirement planning is you. And no matter what stage you're in – early in your career, actively contemplating retirement or already retired – we're here to help with Investing for Retirement, Nearing Retirement and Living in Retirement.

Careful planning throughout the year can assist you in reducing the taxes you pay – as well as help you achieve your financial goals. Tax planning should not be done in isolation, but driven by your overall financial goals and integrated with your total financial plan.

We take a tax-sensitive approach to financial planning and work with you and your other professional advisors – accountants, tax attorneys – to help mitigate the impact of taxes. By developing and implementing strategies to lessen or shift current and future tax liabilities, we can help improve your prospects for meeting both long- and short-term objectives, such as accurately projecting your income taxes to help determine the cash flow available to you in the coming year. In addition to impacting your life today, prudent tax planning can play a large role in the amount of wealth you might be able to someday transfer to your heirs.

In addition to tax and financial planning, we employ additional strategies to help take your success even further, including year-end considerations, income tax changes and rates, key tax rules, individual retirement accounts, trust and estate income taxes, education planning and tax credits.

Managing debt and maintaining your lifestyle over the long term can be challenging. Without a reasonable budgeting plan, it is difficult to effectively manage spending. We can conduct a cash flow analysis to help you compare your income to your expenses and determine your net cash flow. This will help determine a realistic and appropriate monthly and annual budget.

Most people not only have assets that need to be managed, but liabilities such as debts, loans and mortgages as well. When one’s liabilities are greater than their assets, they can be considered highly leveraged – for instance, if they are a first-time house buyer with a high mortgage. If these liabilities are neglected or poorly managed, they can result in the sell-offs of assets. We can help you monitor and manage the financial liabilities in your life to help ensure they don’t impact your financial well-being.

Having alternatives means having the options you need to fit your ever-evolving needs. We believe diversification across a broad spectrum of asset classes is the best way to help our clients meet their long-term objectives, balancing risk and return.

For those who appreciate the potential of alternative investments in a comprehensive portfolio, we offer diversification through investments such as hedge funds, managed futures, funds of funds, private equity, private real estate, and other alternative investment options. Of course, alternatives aren’t for everyone, and we’ll carefully consider the options that complement your existing financial objectives before thoughtfully moving forward.

Alternative Investments involve substantial risks that may be greater than those associated with traditional investments and may be offered only to clients who meet specific suitability requirements, including minimum net worth tests. These risks include but are not limited to: limited or no liquidity, tax considerations, incentive fee structures, potentially speculative investment strategies, and different regulatory and reporting requirements. There is no assurance that any investment will meet its investment objectives or that substantial losses will be avoided.

If the market turns against the client, he or she may be required to deposit additional securities and/or cash in the account(s) or pay down the loan.

You understand all too well the effort that goes into creating a successful business. It is no surprise that a successful transition – whether it be selling all or part of your business or passing it on to an heir – requires substantial work as well.

During this significant emotional and financial event, it’s imperative to have someone by your side carefully reviewing the deal and keeping your best interests in mind as you cede control of something you’ve tended to for years. You’ll also need to factor in how the proceeds will fit into your overall financial and retirement income plan – in the most tax-efficient way possible.

We can work with you to properly value your business, create a succession plan designed to maximize its financial potential, and address the details essential to all parties concerned. Alongside other professionals such as your tax professional and attorney, we work to develop a comprehensive picture – legal, structural, operational and financial – of your business. Together, we ensure your interests are well represented as you transition out of your business and move on to the next stage of your life.

Supporting a child’s education can be one of the most rewarding aspects of success and one of the most important elements in your financial plan. With rising inflation and the high cost of education, planning to contribute to another’s higher education may require an early start.

There are a variety of investment vehicles and tax-efficient options to contribute to the cost of higher education. As your trusted partner, our knowledge and professional guidance can help you analyze the tax benefits, ownership structure, risk and contribution limits involved – even what to do with your leftover education funds if your aspiring academic earns a scholarship.

When you invest in potential, you’ll do more than help make the dream of education possible for a student in your life. You could provide the inspiration for a legacy of higher learning that’s passed on for generations to come. What’s more, the funds you contribute have the ability to grow tax-deferred, and eventually be withdrawn, tax-free.*

Although UGMA and UTMA accounts are not designed specifically for college savings, they offer advantages including multiple investment options, limited tax benefits and the ability for a parent to transfer assets to a child without needing to establish a more costly trust. However, contributions to the accounts are irrevocable and parents lose control of the funds when the child becomes 18 - 21 – an age that may vary by state. We help you navigate these considerations, providing strategies tailored to your funding needs.

*Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses associated with 529 plans before investing. This and other information about 529 plans is available in the issuer's official statement and should be read carefully before investing. Investors should consult a tax advisor about any state tax consequences of an investment in a 529 plan.

Certain conditions may apply. Earnings in 529 plans are not subject to federal tax, and in most cases, state tax, so long as you use withdrawals for eligible education expenses, such as tuition and room and board. However, if you withdraw money from a 529 plan and do not use it on an eligible education expense, you generally will be subject to income tax and an additional 10% federal tax penalty on earnings. Investors should consider before investing, whether the investor's or the designated beneficiary's home state offers state tax or other benefits only available for investments in such state's 529 savings plan. Such benefits include financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors. 529 plans offered outside their resident state may not provide the same tax benefits as those offered within their state.

Today’s longer life expectancies – people living well into their 70s, 80s and beyond – provide all of us with the hope of fully enjoying life beyond our working years. That is why we believe a great financial plan should also include smart thinking that focuses on preserving your preferred standard of living as you grow older. Financial planning that can meaningfully address these quality of life issues can make all the difference.

When it comes to planning, starting earlier is always better because you have more choices and more time to make them. Our knowledgeable and experienced team can help you sort through the possibilities and offer financial advice designed to guide you up to and through the retirement you’ve envisioned.

There are many scenarios that can lead to a concentrated stock position, and monetization strategies can be effective solutions for optimizing your portfolio’s performance and providing needed liquidity.

Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of strategy selected. Options involve unique risks, tax consequences and commission charges and are not suitable for all investors. When appropriate, options should comprise a modest portion of an investor's portfolio. No statement within this document should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell a security or to provide investment advice. Prior to making any options transactions, investors must receive a copy of the Options Disclosure Document which may be obtained from your financial advisor, from cboedirect.com/Resources/Intro.aspx or by contacting Raymond James at 880 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. Supporting documentation for any claims (including any claims made on behalf of options programs or the options expertise of sales persons), comparison, recommendations, statistics, or other technical data, will be supplied upon request.

The transaction costs for collar strategies may be significant in multi-leg option strategies (collars) as they involve multiple commission charges.
