Profile:
Strategic Wealth Planning
Your first step as a Fiduciary Trust client is a comprehensive strategic wealth plan that addresses your multifaceted wealth planning needs. We integrate the expertise of our specialized professionals into a cohesive and comprehensive plan that’s specific to you. At Fiduciary Trust, you will benefit from the talent, expertise and dedication that our people deliver to provide the most thorough strategy for your situation—today, and as your needs evolve over time.
A Custom Approach
We draw upon our more than 75 years of experience to deliver a complete wealth management approach for each client. Because substantial wealth creates complex challenges—particularly across generations—we deliver custom solutions to each client.
We invest significant effort upfront to thoroughly understand you and your family's financial objectives and priorities. This allows us to craft the right solution for you—combining investment management with strategic wealth planning, trust and estate services, tax, custody and private banking. As your plan is being executed, we continually monitor its performance as well as your evolving needs, and make adjustments as situations change.
Specialized Expertise
We were founded in 1931 to help clients weather the financial effects of the Great Depression.

That’s why every client relationship is supported by experts in specific areas of expertise:
Strategic wealth planning

All of these services are included as part of your Fiduciary Trust relationship.
