Addicus Emphasizes Sound Financial Planning

Oxford, MS (PRWEB) October 22, 2013

The report published by Wealth-X notes that more than half of ultra-wealthy first-generation family business owners are 60 or older (Wealth-X defines ultra-wealthy as people with assets totaling at least $30 million). This means the future of the business and the family wealth is quickly coming to a head.

However, according to Addicus, in a typical situation a first generation creates the wealth, the second generation expands or maintains the wealth and the third generation spends or loses the wealth. This makes financial planning so important right now before a decision is forced by circumstances.

Addicus works with the first generation to preserve and build upon its success. Estate plans are designed to mitigate tax and ensure the appropriate inheritance is passed along with the recipients prepared to receive it.

“Addicus first works to understand what is most important to our clients and what they want to accomplish. We then create a clear picture of our clients’ combined personal and business interests, where we identify problems and opportunities,” said Addicus managing Director Stephen Miles. “Then using our clients desires as a backdrop, we set priorities for addressing the problems and opportunities that were identified.

“Finally we manage the projects that are required to solve problems and capture opportunities. This ultimately leads to greater profitability; increased wealth with less risk and liability exposure. We give our clients greater clarity and confidence in their decision making process.”

Addicus assists the second generation by educating them about the financial and business assets as well as developing a vision for the future of the family’s wealth. When it the time comes for the third generation to take over, Addicus educates this group on the history of how the family developed its success, the value of its wealth and creates a structure and strategies to maintain their wealth to the next generation.
