Independent Trustee Services:

As an Independent Trustee we work with the other two trustees, who are normally a representative from the custodial bank and one of the family's trust attorneys.  The value we bring as an independent trustee is thirty-three years of direct investment experience with no bias towards internal product offerings.  We work to insure that the goals and aspirations of GenOne, the creator of the trusts, are realized as long as we are trustees, which could be decades.

As an Independent Trustee, we strive to create a strong relationship with the beneficiaries, whether they are charities or offspring.  We listen to Gens 2&3 to understand their visions about how their good fortune will enable them to perpetuate the family's values.  Our mission is to insure that there are no surprises and to promote as much harmony as is possible given the delicacy of inheritances.


About the advisor & manager:

Schuyler Winter, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, has over thirty years of investing experience.  Mr. Winter started his career at the Chase Manhattan Bank.  He completed the Credit Training and Management Program and also earned an MBA from NYU at night.  After five years he joined Prudential Securities as an Institutional Equity Salesman, where he spent sixteen years covering some of the largest Hedge Funds and Mutual Funds in the world.  His first hand experience offered him a unique window to watch capital move between investment themes and from one kind of investor to another.  Prior to establishing Van Rensselaer Management LLC, Mr. Winter was a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch in their Fifth Avenue office.  He currently serves on several charitable boards and finance committees, including one as Treasurer of a 501 (c)(3) which promotes veteran opportunities in therapeutic riding and cavalry traditions.


Investment Style:

Van Rensselaer Management LLC is about preservation of capital and growth.  Adequate asset diversification, appreciation of time horizons, income needs, and overall risk tolerance are factors in determining an individual's or organization's investments and/or the selection of their asset managers.  The selection is based on fundamental analysis, market sensitivity and technical perspective.  Investment objectives usually are to garner tax advantaged dividend income along with long term asset appreciation, while at all times maintaining liquidity.  Should income and estate tax laws change, appropriate adjustments to the investments should be made.
