Families & their advsors

“Welcome to graymatter’s service page for families of wealth and their advisors”

Families of wealth have singular needs that are not often recognized by today’s advisory industry. They desire a level of relationship with an advisor in whom they may place their deepest trust. James E. Hughes, Jr., Esq. calls such an advisor ‘personne de confiance,’ – a French term indicating the ultimate level of trust. According to Hughes, ‘personnes de confiance “are the people of confidence families and individuals trust to be windows to the development of their human and intellectual capacities.”

Such a level of relationship requires a family’s advisors—including attorneys, accountants, and investment professionals—to place the family’s needs and wishes first in unprecedented fashion. graymatter has designed proprietary services and pragmatic tools to facilitate such relationships.
