Private Wealth Management
Soundview Private Wealth Advisors is an independent, fee-only fiduciary wealth management firm. We provide sophisticated investment management, retirement planning, and tax-efficient strategies for individuals and families.
A Fiduciary Relationship Built on Trust
Soundview Private Wealth Advisors was founded on the belief that families deserve a sophisticated investment experience without the conflicts of interest found at large brokerage firms.
Unbiased Fiduciary Advice
As a fiduciary, my legal and ethical responsibility is to put your interests first. By operating as an independent, fee-only firm, we have removed the sales quotas and conflicts of interest found at large institutions.
Risk-Aware Management
True wealth management is about more than just upside potential; it is about protecting what you have built. We utilize a disciplined, risk-aware investment process to identify your true tolerance for volatility and build portfolios that remain resilient in any market cycle.
Comprehensive Planning
Your investments should never exist in a vacuum. We align your portfolio with a comprehensive financial plan that accounts for tax efficiency, retirement goals, and the legacy you wish to leave for the next generation.
Business Exit Strategy Planning
Your company is often your largest asset and the least planned for. We help you design a thoughtful exit strategy that aligns your business value with your personal financial goals, coordinating planning around taxes, cash flow, and long-term income so your exit strengthens your wealth rather than becoming a last-minute decision.
The Soundview Advantage
Institutional Expertise.
Boutique Style Service.
After more than a decade and a half at Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo, Samuel E. Kaplowitz founded Soundview Private Wealth Advisors to make the client relationship the absolute priority. As a pure fiduciary, he combines institutional expertise with the highly personalized, boutique-level attention of an independent firm.
Institutional Strength & Security
We partner with the industry’s leading custodian to ensure your assets are held with the highest level of security and transparency.
Custody and Oversight
Your accounts are held independently at a qualified custodian, never directly by Soundview. This independent custody structure provides added oversight and operational security, while allowing you to monitor your accounts directly.
Advanced Technology
We utilize trusted institutional technology platforms that provide real time performance reporting, secure document access, and seamless mobile visibility across your whole portfolio.
Your Best Interests
We manage the strategy, but you retain full ownership. Our fee-only structure aligns our success with yours, free from proprietary investment or banking products.
Confidence Comes from Clarity
Markets evolve, but a well-built financial plan should remain steady. Whether you are seeking a second opinion on your current portfolio or building a strategy from the ground up, we help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
