UP STANDS FOR UNITED PORTFOLIO
UP stands for United Portfolio
We assist families in managing their family united portfolios as well-managed enterprises.
In our collaboration with affluent families, we have observed that families who successfully maintain wealth across multiple generations manage their investment portfolios and create wealth as if they were managing a business.
The benefits of managing wealth like a well-run business include:
- Clearly defined wealth objectives and a long-term strategy for managing wealth.
- A clear understanding of each person's role in managing family wealth.
- Financial products and related services that are suitable for you, purchased from the right providers at the right price.
- Easy-to-understand financial statements and reporting functions that allow you to measure progress towards your goals and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
- An effective decision-making process and a transparent governance structure.
Where do I start?
Firstly, treat your wealth as a business—begin by extensively mapping out all its components and answering a series of fundamental questions:
As a family, who are we?
What do we own?
How do we own it?
Answering these questions can serve as the starting point for your wealth management career.
Step 1: Understanding the Current Situation
Ask any successful entrepreneur about their profits and losses, and they'll likely be able to tell you precisely. Income statements, balance sheets, cash flows—all of these report and provide key information for any thriving business. Why shouldn't affluent families use the same tools to manage their wealth businesses? The first step in establishing your well-aligned United Portfolio is to gather a set of reliable financial statements to comprehensively understand where you are now, where you want to go, and the goals you want to achieve.
Step 2: The Three Main Components of Wealth Management
The aspects to consider include: financial management, financial planning, estate and tax planning, investment advisory, and risk management.
Once you have identified all the most important information in your United Portfolio, you can more easily understand which areas need to be addressed and improved.
