Managing Wealth Beyond $10 Million: What Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families Should Look For

When your portfolio surpasses $10 million, the world of wealth management changes dramatically. At this level, it’s no longer about simply growing assets — it’s about protecting, structuring, and preserving an entire financial ecosystem for the next generation. Families must balance institutional-grade investing with estate planning, tax efficiency, and family governance.

At Bilyk Financial, we act as a family office partner, integrating investment management, risk oversight, tax planning, and legacy strategies so every decision works in harmony.

Below are the essential areas of focus for families with portfolios greater than $10M.


🏛 Family Office Services

Managing $10M+ portfolios demands a family office approach — a single hub for wealth strategy, tax coordination, estate planning, and investment oversight.

What to Look For:

  • Centralized coordination between accountants, lawyers, and portfolio managers.
  • Tailored entities such as trusts, holding companies, and charitable foundations.
  • Comprehensive performance and risk reporting.

📈 Institutional-Grade Investment Management

Traditional retail strategies don’t suffice at this level. Wealth preservation and growth require access to institutional tools.

Key Features:

  • Diversification into private equity, real estate, and infrastructure alongside public markets.
  • Risk-adjusted portfolios modeled after institutional investors such as CPP.
  • Liquidity planning to support both family lifestyle and legacy goals.

🛡 Advanced Risk Management

The stakes are higher with $10M+. Protecting against downside risks ensures families aren’t exposed to catastrophic losses.

Considerations:

  • Stress-testing portfolios against inflation, recession, and interest-rate shocks.
  • Independent audits to uncover vulnerabilities.
  • Strategic insurance solutions to safeguard lifestyle and estate plans.

🌎 Tax & Cross-Border Planning

Taxes are one of the largest wealth drains for ultra-high-net-worth families — especially those with multi-jurisdictional exposure.

Key Strategies:

  • Holding companies and trusts to minimize tax drag.
  • Efficient corporate structuring for business owners.
  • Philanthropic strategies that align with family values while reducing tax burdens.
