PHILADELPHIA | November 07, 2024 09:03 AM Eastern Standard Time
Callan Family Office, a registered investment advisor serving ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, foundations and endowments across the United States, recently launched a technology-enabled Tax Overlay Management Program developed to maximize after-tax returns for wealthy families.
The program empowers Callan Family Office’s investment partners to make personalized, tax-aware trading decisions in client portfolios instead of outsourcing portfolio implementation to third-party asset managers with a partial view of clients' assets. This gives clients greater control over the size and timing of capital gains taxes in their portfolios and optimizes outcomes across complex ownership structures, with CFO investment partners using firsthand knowledge of each family's overall financial situation to deliver a tailored solution for equity portfolio management.
“The partners of Callan Family Office have worked with ultra-high-net-worth investors for decades on average, and minimizing taxes on investment gains is a priority for the families we serve,” said Jack Ginter, Chief Executive Officer of Callan Family Office. “With our new Tax Overlay Management Program, we’re leveraging technology and our expertise to help our clients grow and preserve wealth across generations.”
The Tax Overlay Management Program integrates model delivery of third-party active strategies, direct indexing, and a household-level view of assets to coordinate and optimize trading across the many active and passive Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) that span a typical multi-generational UHNW portfolio. Potential benefits of the program for UHNW families and family offices include:
- Greater control over capital gains: Model delivery of active strategies gives Callan Family Office portfolio managers greater control over when and how capital gains are realized, while direct indexing accounts can be leveraged to make active strategies more tax efficient.
- Lower investment expenses: The program reduces costs for both active and passive management by reducing third-party trading and implementation expenses.
- Multi-Account and Entity Optimization: Coordinating activity across multiple accounts and entities adds value by identifying tax efficiencies that are not visible when accounts are viewed in isolation.
Partnership with Aris Investing
This capability is made possible by the technology of Aris Investing LLC, which powers the Tax Overlay Management Program with sophisticated portfolio optimization, scalable and secure infrastructure, and the tools needed to customize portfolio outcomes for ultra-high-net-worth investors.
Aris is a configurable investment technology platform that enables Callan Family Office to meet the specific needs of its UHNW clients.
“Aris solves the challenge wealthy families face when rebalancing accounts with complex ownership structures and a mix of active and passively managed SMAs,” said Daniel Burke, investment partner at Callan Family Office. “By utilizing its technology, we can optimize portfolio transitions by managing the transfer of highly appreciated securities between direct indexing accounts and active strategies to avoid triggering taxable events. Additionally, we can directly employ tactical tax-loss harvesting and optimal tax lot selection during portfolio transitions, minimizing capital gain impacts when changing active managers or rebalancing manager allocations.”
Callan Family Office has taken a strategic equity stake in Aris Investing to ensure that the Tax Overlay Management Program and Callan Family Office will evolve to meet the sophisticated needs of UHNW families for years to come.
