Brokerage & execution
Agency trading in U.S. listed names, options, and Treasuries. Block desks when size matters; ordinary tickets when it doesn’t.
- Equities, ETFs, listed options
- Treasury bills and notes
- Directed and not-held orders
- Trade confirms and lot-level reporting
Discretionary management
A written mandate, a concentrated core, and a cash policy. We rebalance when the facts change — not because a calendar said so.
- Index-plus and concentrated sleeves
- Tax-aware harvesting
- Risk overlays and put protection
- Quarterly letters, not noise
Credit against securities
When a purchase or a gift should not force a taxable sale, we structure borrowing against the book with conservative cushions.
- Securities-backed lines
- Margin with explicit call buffers
- Repayment from dividends and RMDs
- Stress tests before the first draw
Retirement & transfer
RMD calendars, Roth questions we actually answer, and beneficiary design that survives a second marriage, a trust, or a move of state.
- IRA and rollover sequencing
- Trust and TOD registration
- Charitable and family gifting
- Coordination with estate counsel
