Castellan’s family office team takes a holistic approach to help you improve your returns and simplify your life. We provide outstanding stewardship by using our five pillar approach.

Pillar 1

Investment Management

Castellan has created a number of proprietary investment strategies that emphasize management of risk exposure, discipline, a process orientation (not outcome), discipline, and avoidance of fragile situations.

Pillar 2

Private Investments

Through our in-house deal sourcing abilities, investment processes, and deal structuring experience we provide accredited investors the unique ability as a financing partner to provide capital across all stages of the business lifecycle, from pre-seed venture capital to private equity exits for mature businesses.

Pillar 3

Tax Strategies and Estate Planning

Through coordination of both your advisors and our own advisors, we work to improve existing tax planning and the development of innovative tax strategies. We are able to assist with the preparation of the monetization of private investments, forecasting future tax impact, and maximizing wealth transfer through the implementation of various legal vehicles. Also, through our Pillar 2 investments, we offer the ability to structure Opportunity Zone investments.

Pillar 4

Philanthropy and Legacy Planning

Through direct, hands-on collaboration, Castellan offers a comprehensive legacy planning process that allows families to bring their family vision and charitable goals into a tangible reality. As our focus is to be a long-term partner, we actively take a role in education of the next generation to be stewards of the family values and assets. We also assist in the creation and operational management of family foundations and actively advance grantmaking ideas.

Pillar 5

Reporting and Risk Management

In conjunction with the first four pillars, Castellan actively works to keep you informed on the performance of your entire universe – Castellan-managed strategies, other managers, private investments, etc. – through financial reporting, with individualized commentary to provide the right context, for each client to provide a full and detailed picture. As part of our commitment to risk management, we also step in to coordinate with outside legal advisors to manage special litigation situations and legal entity governance. Castellan also advises on select opportunities for insurance policies as they arise.
