Curated Wealth Partners specializes in providing holistic investment advisory services to ultra high net
worth individuals and their families. Curated Wealth Partners’ investment advice covers a wide variety
of asset classes in both public and private markets including equities, fixed income, hedge funds, direct
private equity and real estate as well as private equity and real estate funds. Through dealings with the
Firm’s main client base Curated Wealth Partners also provides advice to, and regarding, trusts, estates,
retirement assets, charitable organizations, investment partnerships and corporations.
Curated Wealth Partners offers tailored investment advice that is customized for each client based on
their specific goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. Curated Wealth Partners’ advice will vary depending
on the specific arrangement with each client. Curated Wealth Partners will have ongoing discussions
with clients to determine their objectives, willingness for risk, investment time horizon and liquidity
needs. Curated Wealth Partners’ services allow for strategic planning regarding both liquid and illiquid
assets and the Firm will take a solutions-based approach for complex holdings.
While Curated Wealth Partners’ advice will vary depending on the profile of each client, the offering will
be anchored by the primary services listed below:
• Holistic advisory across entirety of clients’ full balance sheets;
• Portfolio Construction and Asset Allocation;
• Manager diligence and selection, individual security level supervision;
• Ongoing portfolio monitoring and performance reporting;
• Private market & real estate investing in both direct deals and comingled fund structures.
Curated Wealth Partners will manage accounts on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis
generally guided by market conditions. Curated Wealth Partners has discretionary authority over certain
client accounts established by a limited power of attorney effecting transactions on behalf of the client.
Curated Wealth Partners will directly manage client accounts utilizing some or all of the following
securities: Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs), Closed End
Funds, Index Funds, and Alternative Investment Funds. Curated Wealth Partners will recommend to
clients a diversified portfolio of underlying investments that are primarily funds and/or separate
accounts managed by outside (third party) managers (“Independent Managers”). From time-to-time the
Firm manages individual securities on a discretionary basis.
Curated Wealth Partners also has arrangements with certain client accounts that are non-discretionary
where clients direct Curated Wealth Partners to effect transactions in both public and private
investments.
For certain clients Curated Wealth Partners will offer investment services for both private market and
real estate investments. Curated Wealth Partners will seek to source, diligence, invest and monitor
positions in these assets. These investments will utilize both debt and equity positions directly, or in
pooled vehicles. Currently, Curated Wealth Partners only recommends pooled vehicles created and
managed by third parties. In the future, however, Curated Wealth Partners anticipates creating and
managing certain pooled vehicles. When pooled vehicles are used the client will give discretion to the
managing member or general partner of those funds. Curated Wealth Partners plans to use a wide range
of relationships to source deals, including the Firm’s existing relationships, as well as the Firm’s client
relationships and their networks.
Clients have the flexibility to impose reasonable restrictions and guidelines on the investment of their
assets (securities, types of securities and vehicles, industry sectors). Clients should understand that
these types of restrictions negatively affect investment performance. Through ongoing discussions with
clients, Curated Wealth Partners expects to be made aware of any changes to clients’ financial
circumstances, objectives, and tolerance for risk.
Curated Wealth Partners has been registered as an investment adviser since August 2018 and is wholly
owned by Lee B. Hutter, Susan D. Moffat, and Richard A. Ward.
