Services for Individuals & Families
Wealth Management
Our client-first focus drives our success.
At Silvercrest, portfolio managers work with clients to define long-term wealth management goals and create customized portfolios to achieve them. We reject a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring each portfolio is tailored to the client’s specific needs. We regularly conduct peer reviews to ensure that each portfolio reflects the firm’s best thinking on markets, asset allocation, and strategy selection.
As a large boutique, we have the scale to attract top talent and the culture to provide personalized service, delivering expert advice directly to each client. Many of our portfolio managers have worked together for over a decade, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances the quality of service clients receive.
We are committed to providing independent, objective advice and believe we will succeed or fail based on the integrity and quality of that guidance.
Investments
One of Silvercrest’s primary objectives is to deliver excellent investment results by offering a combination of core proprietary investment capabilities complemented by “best-in-class” outsourced capabilities. Silvercrest’s investment capabilities have performed well through past market cycles with appropriate levels of risk and tax efficiency. Our proprietary investment capabilities and outsourced managers are quality-oriented, valuation-sensitive, and highly disciplined with proven investment processes in place. We are also cost-aware, determined to customize a portfolio solution that is as streamlined and cost-effective as possible.
Taken together—and combined with our financial planning, tax expertise and industry-leading consolidated investment reporting—we believe our capabilities offer the right combination of ingredients to help our clients successfully achieve their long-term financial objectives.

Family businesses are often a family’s largest asset, as well as the most important contributor to their wealth creation.

In working with family businesses, Silvercrest is committed to providing a long-term trusted advisor relationship with the family and the business.
Business Advisory Services
Corporate Finance Advisory
Many liquidity alternatives are available to family business owners and their companies, including deploying cash flow, leveraging the balance sheet, and selling equity. In a liquidity event, your Family Business Advisor can help a family business identify and select the appropriate investment bank or boutique advisory firm to assist with the transaction and help ensure a successful outcome.
Access to Capital
Additional capital may be required to fund growth or defend a family company’s market position. By analyzing the stage of growth and size of the company, your Family Business Advisor can help determine the appropriate financing strategy and the optimal blend of debt and equity capital to finance growth and help achieve the family business owner’s objectives.
Succession Planning
In order to promote the family business legacy, it is vital that the family business owner has a succession plan in place. Thoughtful leadership and ownership succession planning promotes a smooth transition, ensuring stability and continuity. It is a critical investment in the future success of any family business.
