Unlock greater profitability and flexibility in your investments.
For Real Estate - An alternative to a 1031 Exchange
For individuals and businesses selling highly appreciated assets, capital gains tax can significantly reduce the net proceeds. The SMA Wealth Trust offers a potent and flexible strategy to manage these taxes, preserving capital and creating new investment opportunities. It is a viable option for the sale of real estate, businesses, stocks, cryptocurrency, artwork, and virtually any asset subject to capital gains.
Protect your wealth from unnecessary taxes, market volatility, and regulatory changes through sophisticated, compliant strategies.
Safeguard your assets and income streams with comprehensive risk management and asset protection strategies.
Maximize your wealth potential through tax-advantaged growth strategies and sophisticated investment approaches.
Business owners face significant capital gains taxes when selling their company. The SMA Wealth Trust provides a powerful solution for business exits, allowing you to avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of your business—potentially saving millions. Structure your exit to receive ongoing income while preserving your wealth for future investments or retirement.
Real estate investors often struggle to find a suitable replacement within the tight deadlines of a 1031 Exchange (45/180 days). The SMA Wealth Trust solves this. You can sell your property, avoid 100% of the capital gains, and have the proceeds generate income while you wait for the right investment opportunity on your own timeline.
Real estate investors often face a significant challenge when utilizing a 1031 Exchange to downsize: the strict identification timelines and the inevitable tax liability on any cash "boot" received. The SMA Wealth Trust offers a sophisticated solution to these liquidity constraints. This approach effectively eliminates the capital gains tax liability, ensuring that you can downsize your residence without diminishing your net worth.
Secure a retirement income stream while building a legacy. The trust can be structured to exist outside your taxable estate. For larger trusts, strategies can use trust assets to fund life insurance, significantly enhancing value passed to heirs and eliminating estate taxes.
Uniquely capable of handling proceeds from multiple sources. Sell three separate properties and flow proceeds into a single Trust. Or sell crypto/business assets and use the capital to buy real estate later.

These are highly complex, unique strategies that cannot be treated as standard filings. They require a rigorous, bespoke legal framework to be set up correctly. As such, we do not rely on generalists; our Partners focus exclusively on these areas of the tax code.
Our legal partners have been successfully executing these strategies since 1996, having completed over 3,000 of these transactions representing over 3 billion in assets structured.
We utilize our internal tax strategist for the drafting, implementation, and defense of these strategies. Because these strategies reside at the complex intersection of tax law and estate planning, they must be established by professionals with this specific focus to ensure defensibility.
We coordinate a best-in-class ecosystem team—specialists—including specialized tax attorneys, independent administrative trustees, and qualified intermediaries—to ensure that every legal instrument, valuation, and transfer document is executed with precision.
This allows the client's primary CPA to focus on the filing and advisory role without having to build this infrastructure from scratch. We handle the complexity, so you can focus on your financial goals.
