A NEW PLACE TO CALL HOME

It has been some time since you last heard from the two of us.  We are pleased to share the exciting news that we have joined Federal Street Advisors in Boston as principals of the firm to provide Family Office Services.  The clients Federal Street serves and the approach it takes align very cleanly with our shared values and vision for how we wish to work.  By joining, we expand the range of services Federal Street offers to its new clients and give additional depth in financial planning to its current clients. 
 
We wanted to use this first communication to also tell you a little about the firm we have joined.  Federal Street Advisors delivers comprehensive investment consulting services to a select group of individual, family, and institutional clients.  We provide sophisticated investment advice and expert financial solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client we serve.  The firm's two practice areas serve individuals and families as well as foundations and non-profit organizations. 
 
Founded in 1991 and independently owned and managed, Federal Street combines deep resources with small firm flexibility and attentiveness to deliver objective, unbiased investment advice to approximately 85 ultra high net worth family and foundation clients with over $3.5 billion in combined assets under advisement.
 
Federal Street Advisors, and specifically its president, John LaPann, has been a friendly competitor of ours since we founded our former firm, LongVue Advisors, seven years ago.  Joining Federal Street allows us to focus exclusively on what we do best - high-touch, high quality advice and service to individuals and families. 
 
Federal Street is a remarkable firm staffed by a smart and dedicated team and we couldn't be more excited to be here.  You are certain to hear more from us as we continue to settle in, and we hope it goes without saying that we welcome the opportunity to talk with you about our new firm.  In the meantime, you can learn more about us at www.federalstreet.com.
 
With our best regards,
 
Randy Hustvedt & Charlie Walsh
 
FEDERAL STREET ADVISORS
INTRODUCES FAMILY OFFICE SERVICES


One of our very first orders of business was to build out a Family Office Services function at Federal Street Advisors.  We've built a capability that allows the firm to go beyond serving clients as their investment consultant, but also act as a financial architect, drawing on expert resources to handle a family's wide range of administrative and financial planning needs. We have staffed up with some familiar faces who are adept at supporting clients in meeting their long-term personal and estate planning goals.
 
We are distinguished by:
  • Providing each client with a dedicated team committed to their unique needs
  • Offering in-depth financial planning
  • Delivering a higher degree of administrative support
  • Taking a comprehensive approach which looks at all aspects of a client's family situation
  • Handling everything from financial planning to banking services to philanthropic planning and multi-generational services.
In very short order, we are already providing services in financial planning to 20 families with combined assets over $500 million.

We will continue to include you in our regular outreach efforts, which will now come from our new home at 50 Federal Street in Boston.  We would love to hear any thoughts or ideas that you might have.  Don't hesitate to reach out to us:
