What a fiduciary advisory mandate involves
Most professional relationships in wealth management are siloed: a fund manager watches the portfolio, a lawyer handles estate planning, a tax adviser files returns. Nobody is looking at how the pieces interact, and no single professional carries the obligation to prioritise your interest above their fee arrangement. The Collective & Sons advisory mandate fills that gap. We act as the coordinating fiduciary — reviewing your entire wealth picture on a quarterly basis, identifying the points where investment risk, legal structure, tax position, and succession intent are pulling in different directions, and proposing coordinated corrections. The work involves structured quarterly meetings, written risk and opportunity briefs, and direct communication with your legal and tax professionals when alignment is needed. Clients typically hold this mandate alongside — not instead of — specialist advisers. Our role is to ensure that every specialist recommendation is evaluated through the lens of your overall capital preservation objective, with no conflict of interest distorting the assessment.
