## Who the New England practice serves

- Typical investable assets: $1,000,000 or more (a fit guideline, not a velvet rope)
- Common ages: 50–75 (secondary 45–54)
- Common traits: coastal homeowners; owners, professionals, inheritors; tax-aware; privacy-seeking
- Geography: coastal New England from Maine to Rhode Island (Maine coast, New Hampshire seacoast, Massachusetts North Shore and Cape, coastal Rhode Island)
- Office town: Marblehead, Massachusetts
- Boston is not the target market for this site

## What the firm does here

- Tailored financial planning (retirement, taxes, cash flow, estate — one relationship)
- Fully customized investment portfolios (not a model book with a name on it)
- Public markets, and when suitable, private investments and interval funds
- “Used extensively” means operational experience (subscriptions, repurchase calendars, K-1/1099, position sizing). It does not mean every client owns the same funds.

## Interval funds (educational)

An interval fund is a 1940 Act closed-end fund that offers limited, periodic repurchase opportunities instead of daily liquidity. Limited liquidity can fit long-term capital and is a problem if cash is needed next quarter. Investors can lose money. This is not a recommendation of any fund.
