Advice From the beginning, one of Capital Planning s guiding principles has been to deliver independent and unbiased advice to assist our clients as they navigate through significant life decisions that impact their wealth. Our clients rely on our experience and time-tested strategies to help guide them through major life events such as retirement, the sale of a business, or planning their family legacy.

2 Wealth Management Since Strategic Wealth Planning Services We offer our clients a strategic process that systematically addresses eight key components of their financial lives. It begins with an in-depth wealth assessment that identifies planning gaps, priorities are then set, and wealth solutions are developed and implemented. This can include collaboration with other service professionals as needed. Broad Spectrum of Investment Solutions As an independent registered investment advisory firm, not owned or controlled by any other financial institution, we are able to offer a broad spectrum of investment solutions. We have an open architecture investment platform, which means we have access to a wide range of investment vehicles that can be made available for your wealth management plan. Accounts are held at leading custodians, which allows access to such capital markets as fixed income, equities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, and alternative investments. Generational Wealth Perspective An ancient Hebrew proverb states, An inheritance quickly gained will not be blessed in the end. Since that time, families of all ages have learned, to their dismay, that wealth seldom survives three generations. Our process of developing your FamilyPACT includes a focus on generational wealth preservation to help you create a lasting legacy for your family. Teamwork Each client is served by an advisory team consisting of a lead financial advisor and a client service associate. They are your dedicated service team and main points of contact. Our experienced advisory teams work with a limited number of clients, which allows them to devote the necessary time and attention to each personal wealth plan. When needed, specialists are available from the financial advisory, portfolio administration, and investment research teams. Experience & Stability When you engage a financial advisory firm to help manage and preserve your wealth, you want a team that will stay with you for the long term.

Since that time, families of all ages have learned, to their dismay, that wealth seldom survives three generations. Our four phase process of developing your FamilyPACT is designed to help you create a lasting legacy for your family. Plan Together, we create your family constitution, to record your family vision, mission, values, and guiding principles. Your adult children can participate through facilitated family meetings. This document will become the foundation for your family s important decisions, communication, and plan for preparing future generations. Alignment The next step is to assess and align wealth, estate, and governance plans to your family constitution. A family office can be established to serve family members by creating pricing and access leverage for investment and wealth planning services. If the circumstances involve an operating company, a board of directors can be constituted, which typically includes at least three non-family members from industries that can provide high value leadership. A family council can be created that will serve as the governing structure for your family office, retreats Capital Planning, LLC NE 4 th Street, Suite 1030, Bellevue, WA

Family policies are established to provide clarity for the family council leadership. Estate plans are updated that coordinate your family s new and shared generational vision. Below is an example of the organizational chart of the governance plan. Communication Once the family constitution, governance, and wealth plans are established, it is important to Governance Chart create your plan for family communication. One of the greatest challenges to the success of your family legacy can be the lack of family unity. For some families this has not been a problem, but it is important to be proactive in addressing this risk. For other families, conflict has created deep division, which may require reconciliation counseling. Best practices used by successful families to enhance communication are accomplished through family retreats and meetings. The leadership of these meetings can rotate between family members. The purposes of these events are to promote family unity, share family folklore and history, create memories, conduct business, and have fun. Training Finally, a training and mentoring plan to prepare heirs is an essential initiative in preserving your family legacy. We recommend an age-based mentoring template, customized to meet your family s specific objectives. Mentoring opportunities can be planned for your family retreat with common themes such as leadership, entrepreneurship, stewardship, and community service. In addition, initiatives can be scheduled to involve younger generations in the business at various stages, as well as charitable service projects in which all family members can participate.
