Wealth Management
That Serves Only Your Family
Families come to Prime Quadrant when their wealth has outgrown a patchwork of advisors and they are ready for a fundamentally different approach.
My Wealth
Families need more than an investment manager. They need someone who sees and manages the whole picture with deep expertise in every dimension and one integrated strategy connecting them all.
Outsourced Chief Investment Officer
A dedicated investment partner who brings institutional quality portfolio management, asset allocation expertise, and rigorous investment research to your family's wealth without the cost of building an in-house investment team. From manager selection and due diligence to risk monitoring and long-term capital growth strategies, the OCIO ensures your investments are working as hard as possible toward your family's goals. Clients can choose to be actively involved in every decision or delegate investment management to Prime Quadrant.
Investment Solutions
Our Investment Solutions relationship structure gives families the opportunity to participate in our well-curated flow of global investment opportunities in all asset classes, at the same time and on the same terms (often preferred), as our Investment Advisory clients. This includes opportunities in both “evergreen” strategies and private capital and is meant to complement and enhance the deal flow that families may have themselves. While the relationship is streamlined with lighter-touch reporting and a more flexible meeting cadence, we work to develop proactive relationships and understand clients’ broader portfolio context, to increase the relevance of our suggestions.
Outsourced Chief Financial
Officer
A dedicated financial partner who provides high-level financial management and strategic advisory services on a fractional basis to streamline decision-making, enhance wealth planning, and provide a 360-degree view of your family’s financial situation.
Estate, Trust & Tax Strategy
Most families have excellent accountants, lawyers, and trustees, but no single advisor who connects all the recommendations into one cohesive, values-aligned plan. That is what this service provides. We assign a Strategic Family Advisor who understands the family deeply and orchestrates all professionals to deliver clarity, coordination, and confidence.
Legacy Asset Solutions
Inherited assets often come with unresolved decisions and little visibility into what they're worth or what to do next. We bring structure, transparency, and strategic purpose to the holdings your family has built across generations.
Prime Quadrant Partners
Prime Quadrant Partners curates and facilitates direct and co-investment opportunities to deploy private capital through our rich network of relationships across multiple asset classes. This offering is by invitation only, for families where direct deal private capital investing is a natural fit.

There Is More to Wealth Than Capital
True wealth is what becomes possible when all Four Quadrants are explored together. Financial performance is where most firms stop. Prime Quadrant is where it starts.
Case Studies
Every family's story is different, but the challenges are often familiar. See how we help families find clarity, alignment, and purpose in their wealth.
What Families Often Ask Before Reaching Out
We oversee your entire investment strategy across public and private markets on an open architecture platform, from asset allocation and manager selection to ongoing due diligence and reporting. Because we operate on open architecture, we recommend what fits your family's goals, not what pays us. The result is a portfolio built around your priorities and monitored with the rigor of an institutional CIO.
Private banks and wirehouses are compensated for selling products. We primarily charge a flat advisory fee and hold no proprietary funds. That independence changes the nature of the advice; every recommendation is judged solely on whether it's right for your family.
No. Your assets can stay where they are, with the custodians and institutions you already trust. We coordinate across your full balance sheet regardless of where it sits, which is why we measure relationships in Assets Under Consultation* rather than Assets Under Management.
Families who have reached the point where managing wealth themselves has become a liability. Their balance sheets resist standard models, their liquidity profiles are uneven, their risks are concentrated, and their family dynamics require more than a portfolio review.
