11. We take a genuine interest in thecomplexity of wealth , applying expertise and creativityto simplifyour clients financial lives CLIENT ISSUE BAINCOS APPROACH AND SOLUTION A significant carry forward net operating loss on a client tax return During a review of a new clients Federal tax return we noticed that the client had a significant NOL carry-forward on her return. Additionally, with the clients liquid non-retirement assets dwindling due to cash flow requirements, we recommended, after review with the clients accountant, and helped the client move $675,000 from her regular IRA assets into a Roth IRA.This was done on a Federal-tax free basis and allows for tax-free withdrawals from her Roth IRA to meet life-style needs and allows for tax free growth for the assets in her new Roth IRA. New client had multiple managers and was literally buried in paper After a thorough review of stacks of unopened mail, boxes full of old statements, and holdings in multiple accounts we recommended and implemented a consolidation of accounts to one custodian, provided on-line access to those accounts to review trade confirmations, tax information and account holdings on a real-time basis, and set up a client filing system in their home. Maximizing the potential of a large block of a single restricted stock potential and oversee the paperwork associated with future sales We developed and helped the client implement a plan that sets criteria for future sales and manages the administration behind each restricted stock sale.With the client, Bainco wrote and set-up an automated on-line 10b5-1 trading plan for insiders. The plan denotes future sales criteria and allows Bainco to coordinate and assist with restricted stock filings to the SEC and the specific stock exchange, obtain legal opinion of counsel ensuring the execution of future sales, and provides a solution for acquiring a loan against restricted stock A desire to better understand options for utilizing highly appreciated assets to achieve charitable and income goals as stated in their IPS We coordinated the drafting of a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRUT) with the clients attorney, followed through with the client as it related to the transfer of the asset into the CRUT. We then sold the asset in the CRUT with no capital gains tax implications, coordinated with the clients accountant the creation of a large itemized tax deduction that reduced their projected high tax liability for that year, and created a lifetime income stream back the donor (which further acted as a salary replacement given they had just retired). The remainder will flow into a family named donor advised fund that their children will meet periodically in the future to determine how the remaining principal should be gifted. Discuss with a clients 3 adult children and 10 grandchildren how family money was earned and how to maximize its potential. We coordinated the drafting of a Family Limited Partnership (FLP) such that the parents remain a 1% GP (thereby having a veto right over decisions made by LPs), the adult children are responsible for finding, analyzing and making illiquid private investments in the FLP (originally funded with $5 million and today has more then doubled in value).Based on various structures Bainco recommended (A GRAT and a SCIN) the eventual gift tax liability of moving $5million (now over $10 million) of assets down 1 and 2 generations was under $400,000. 12.

  • Sources of Wealth
  • C. was an officer and an early stage employee of a high tech company that was eventually sold to XYZ Networks (XYZ).
  • Real estate assets currently include a home and an investment property.The Os own the properties jointly (NC and Maine) with a combined value of nearly $2.5 million (no debt).They sold their previous residence in New Hampshire valued at over $2.0 million.C. has other assets totaling approximately $9.1 million.These include Bainco managed assets of approx $6.7 million, two retirement accounts totaling nearly $100,000, loan receivables of approximately $500,000, a venture capital investment of $940,000 (going to $1.0 commitment), a $500,000 real estate investment, and other personal assets of $400,000.Estimated total net worth is approximately $12 million.
  • Measure of Wealth
  • They feel their wealth is substantial and their objective is to preserve and grow it.From their asset base, they need to provide significant income and cash flow.
  • Stage of Life
  • They have three children ages 9, 17, and 23. (K. age 9, D. age 17 and C. age 23).One of C.s main objectives is to keep his family in their current lifestyle. C. has expressed a desire to diversify his investment holdings and coordinate his financial affairs.
  • Return Objectives
  • Their objective is preservation of wealth, generation of current income, and have their assets act as an inflation hedge - principal growth would be a bonus.In order to meet their return objectives, C. should pursue a total return approach.An essential part of this approach involved the diversification of the concentrated position in XYZ, an appropriate asset allocation and the repositioning of a significant amount of cash.
  • Risk Tolerance
  • Despite C.s entrepreneurial background and his long-term investment horizon, he currently remains a cautious investor with a significant cash position.We would characterize C. as having a desire to move toward a more balanced portfolio that incorporates his need for monthly cash flow, inflationary hedge and some long term growth.
  • Time Horizon
  • Their investment time horizon is long.The first horizon extends through both of their lifetimes.The second horizon will begin when the assets presumably pass to their children.
  • Liquidity Constraints
  • Current cash flow parameters indicate approximately $25,000 per month for living expenses.Funding of 529 educational plans (to be discussed) required $220,000 and may require future contributions. They may consider funding a donor-advised charitable gift fund which will require a transfer of assets (to be discussed).

Sample Investment Policy Statement A 13.

  • Taxes
  • C. is expected to be in a low Federal income tax bracket due to significant carry forward losses and limited taxable income.Any Federal taxable income is projected to be at the AMT rate (26%/28%).Further, New Hampshire has a state income tax rate of nearly 5% on interest and dividends only.Bainco will manage the portfolio in a tax sensitive manner and will periodically coordinate taxable investment activity with the clients accountant.
  • Recommended Asset Allocation
  • We recommend the following for assets excluding real estate:
  • TargetProjected
  • Allocation Post-Tax Return
  • Equities50% 9.0%
  • Covered Calls 10% 9.0%
  • Fixed Income 20% 5.0%
  • Private Equity 10% 20.0%
  • Cash 10% 2.5%
  • TOTAL 100%* 8.0% (weighted and rounded)
  • *Real estate equity, when added to target allocation, could represent up to 20-25% of total net worth in an acceptable financial plan recommendation.
  • Financial Planning
  • Over time, Bainco will review the following financial planning topics with the O.s:
    • Review Estate Plan documents and note gifting structures that will allow the O.s to continue to control the assets, while giving up future appreciation (i.e. an FLP).
    • Discuss asset balancing to take advantage of the federal per person exemption ($1.5 million in 2005 and $2.0 million in 2006).Assets held jointly do not take advantage of this estate tax benefit.
    • Monitoring of 529 Education plans.
    • Consider establishing a Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund.
  • Management of Portfolio:
  • Manage the concentrated XYZ position cooperatively and aggressively
    • Sell XYZ to approximately $750k market value over time.
  • Monitor the status of non-managed investments
  • Objective is to create absolute return
  • Build a diversified portfolio of 30-50 positions
  • Create cash flow from dividends, interest, option writing premiums, and capital gains
  • Periodically (monthly?) will send cash flow to client
  • Sell covered calls to develop short term capital gains to create synthetic tax-exempt income
  • Create sufficient appreciation to offset inflation
  • Manage downside risk with sell discipline
  • Coordinate asset transfer and accounting and tax reporting from Alternative Investment Company
  • Develop estate plan efficiency in investment vehicles
  • Fixed income investments short term until interest rates stabilize
  • Occasionally present private deals for C.s approval
  • Bainco will maintain sufficient cash and utilize the ability to vary cash levels opportunistically
  • Seeking best risk-adjusted returns from sectors when considering macro-economic factors
  • Phase into portfolio decisions made by Bainco Research team
  • Look for 12-24 month holding period time horizon (not currently critical due to loss carry forward)
