Protecting your assets for Wealth Preservation and Distribution

The current financial crisis has been dubbed ‘unprecedented’ by many. People and organizations from all walks of life ranging from individual to institutional investors, town councils to Sovereign Wealth Funds, employee to business owners, have been impacted to a different extent. Great challenges have arisen in terms of Wealth Preservation and Distribution.

After spending so much time and effort in accumulating Wealth, it would certainly make sense planning for Wealth Preservation and Distribution. The acts of creating and leaving a legacy for your love ones or organization of choice, be it a welfare organization or place of worship, is heartwarming and many a times, a form of justification of the sweat and tears of wealth building.

However, the current situation whereby major assets classes have tumbled in tandem highlights the potential bind spot that exist in Wealth Preservation and Distribution. Liquidating assets in situations like now would greatly reduce the potential benefits for your beneficiaries. Imagine leaving just 50% of an investment portfolio in the event of a forced liquidation during the probate process! In addition, business owners also face the additional liability arising out of business exposure. Creditors may lay their hands onto the very assets meant for your love ones and strip them of the entitlement.

Fortunately, there are methods and platforms available to help avoid such dreaded situations. It would be comforting knowing that extra efforts have been taken to help protect and preserve what’s meant for the intended recipients.
