With a career spanning over five decades, my guest today, Greg Smith, is a master in asset management and strategic planning for ultra-high-net-worth families. His portfolio ranges from M&A in commercial banking to fiduciary responsibilities in tightly regulated sectors like aviation, chemicals, and real estate investment.
In our discussion, we explore a wide range of topics - from optimizing debt-to-equity ratios to the nuances of investing leverage and due diligence, from both the buyer's and seller's perspectives.
Whether you’re on the buying or selling side of a transaction, seeking to maximize deal flow, or aiming to refine your wealth management strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How the ultra-wealthy strategically maximize cash flow, reduce risk, minimize taxes, apply leverage, and build long-term wealth.
✅ Best practices for engaging investment bankers for deal structuring, negotiations, property acquisitions, raising capital, and tax-efficient business exits.
✅ Tactical due diligence checklists for buyers and sellers to ensure you're covering all bases.
