As your wealth grows over time, often the result is a level of complexity that requires a network of professionals and financial strategies. Our purpose is to coordinate this network, align your strategies and keep everyone involved on the same page.
We believe that, much like the CFO of a business, the various components of your wealth and the specialists who manage them need to be coordinated from a central point – Blake Schutter Wealth fills that role for your financial life. This approach enables us to serve as personal CFO to our clients.
As your personal CFO, we provide a family office management structure with your family’s core values and goals at its center. We leverage technology and our experienced in-house team to manage your personal financial life.
While it's important for us to understand your financial position and structure, we also need to understand how you got to where you are today, and where it is you want to go. This will help us evaluate and organize what you have.
We evaluate your full financial picture in light of your goals, family values and potential transitions. We develop a tax-efficient plan that includes asset allocation, estate planning and other financial priorities.
We present our recommended plans, strategies and implementation steps, alongside a number of technology tools that will help you maintain clarity and ease of access to important financial documents.
We begin the implementation process, which involves outreach to all relevant financial service professionals, within your network as well as ours.
The team is available at all times to provide insight and guidance through the decision-making process, lead family meetings and coordinate all other financial service providers contributing to the clients’ plans and strategies.
Of all the various steps and strategies within your overall family wealth plan, your investment portfolio is the most dynamic aspect of your wealth. It is changing daily, driven by multiple factors beyond your control; however it is a critical driver of core objectives and it affects every component of your financial life.
Our approach is to create a disciplined framework that helps ensure your portfolio can adapt to changing needs, while keeping certain pillars in place – like your risk management strategies and long-term family priorities.
