Building Wealth (30s & 40s)

Nathan & Brooke

Nathan & Brooke, a tech-industry power couple approaching their 40s, had kids on the horizon and dreams of retirement. With strong salaries, Nathan’s equity compensation, and Brooke’s recent inheritance, they felt they were off to a good start—but wanted confidence they were on the right track.

Partnering with Curantis Wealth Management, they built a strategy to manage their assets and plan for their growing family. They created a comprehensive budget and plan to contribute to a college savings account while also implementing a custom strategy to hedge the risk of Nathan’s concentrated stock in a tax-smart way, diversify Brooke’s inheritance, and invest for long-term, tax-efficient growth—all with retirement security and their family’s future in mind.

Implementing Smart Strategies (50s)

Taylor & Morgan

Taylor and Morgan, with successful careers in tech and small business, had accumulated significant assets, including stock options, retirement accounts, and real estate.

However, they lacked a comprehensive financial plan, and gaps in planning caused them to face potential tax inefficiencies and estate vulnerabilities. Their investment strategies were also misaligned, hindering their portfolio's performance.

Working with our advisors, they optimized their portfolio for tax efficiency, created an estate plan, and unified their investment approach. This brought them peace of mind, knowing their wealth was structured to support their shared future.

Enjoying Retirement (60s & 70s)

Katherine & Jim

Katherine and Jim, a lively couple in their early 60s, had spent years building a very successful business together. They were ready to relinquish the everyday management of the company, but they had several financial blind spots—no financial retirement income plan, an out-of-date estate plan, and no clear action plan for the transition of their wealth.

They partnered with Curantis to generate a holistic financial strategy. It focused on retirement income, connecting them with a competent network of estate planning professionals to review and update their estate plan, and created a robust legacy plan that focused on transitioning wealth to their heirs and beloved philanthropic organizations.
