Why Learn About Tangibles?
“As advisers scramble to get their hands on money held in bank, brokerage or mutual fund accounts, many are overlooking a bigger part of the wealth market: illiquid assets.”
“Experts say the market for illiquid wealth represents an untapped reserve of assets. Advisors who learn how to identify and manage such assets stand to make a killing.”
“The rest, or $7.4 TRILLION was held in illiquid assets.”

How Do You Determine a Client’s Net Worth?
This is what you may miss when you have a policy of “having the client come to our office only”. This client simply stated that he was an artist.
Not visiting a client’s residence eliminates a vital source of intelligence about your client’s lifestyle, visible assets and what is important to the client besides stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities.

How Do You Determine a Client’s Net Worth?
Many software programs that are designed for gathering financial planning data do not have categories for tangible assets owned by a client. The listing is usually titled “other”.
Advisors ask about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, REITs, cash value of insurance, assets in pension plans, equity value of real estate, CD’s, T-Bills, bonds, income from rental properties and expected inheritances of similar assets.
Few advisors ask if the client has accumulated art, rare coins, rare stamps, antiques, oriental rugs, antique silver or jewelry. This is where potentially thousands of dollars of assets are “hidden in plain sight”.

How Do You Determine a Client’s Net Worth?
But I do have a huge art collection. Glenn Danzig and I would travel to different towns and buy original art. I’ve got all the hand-to-paper first appearances of Ghost Rider. I also have original art by H.R. Giger whom I’ve met a couple times in Switzerland. It’s all stacked up and sitting there. It’s not hanging on anything.

Why Learn About Tangibles?
Example: A 74-year old attorney had a collection of rare coins that he has
owned for 30 years. At age 44, when he started collecting, it was a interesting hobby for him. At age 74, he no longer was active in the hobby. His advisor contacted us and wanted to know what to do with “a bunch of old coins”. A local dealer offered $75,000 for the collection. We reviewed the list of coins and met with the client at his office in Detroit. The coins were consigned to a major rare coin firm in California and realized over $235,000 at auction. The proceeds from the client’s long-time hobby were converted into additional income-producing retirement assets.

Why Learn About Tangibles?
In the March 2004 issue of the Bloomberg Wealth Manager, the role of tangible assets as contributions to charitable organizations is examined as alternatives to depleted stock portfolios.

Why Learn About Tangibles?
Many other charities are becoming more flexible about the kinds of gifts they will accept. Although real estate is the most popular type of non-cash gift, charities are receptive to a wide range of collectibles, including jewelry, antique cars, coin or stamp collections and musical instruments.
From a tax perspective, making gifts of art and collectibles is especially beneficial now. While the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 lower the long-term capital-gains rate to 15% for sales of appreciated stocks, bonds, and real estate, it left the rate for tangible personal property at 28%. By donating valuable assets such as art, clients can avoid paying this capital-gains tax and take a charitable income tax deduction.

1992 Restatement (Third) of Trusts: Prudent Investor Rule
Directed at private trusts subject to state lawPublished in 1992 (actually adopted 1990)Follows trend established by ERISA with regard to current investment theory and practices
![Page 18: Financial physics 101 ver 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052418/58f30cb31a28abbe4f8b45ed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1992 Restatement (Third) of Trusts: Prudent Investor Rule
Five Investment Principles
Sound diversification fundamental to risk management.Risk and return are so related that trustees have duty concerning levels of risk appropriate for the trust. The 1992 Restatement creates the expectation trustees will consider the entire universe of investment opportunities and does not authorize a trustee to ignore any particular class or type of investment in constructing a portfolio. Trustees have duty to avoid unjustified expenses.The fiduciary duty of impartiality among beneficiaries requires balance of producing income and protecting purchasing power.Following ERISA, the Uniform Management of Institution Funds Acts and the Uniform Trustee Powers Act, The Prudent Investor Rule encourages the delegation of investment responsibilities to specialists.

“Internet” sales are conducted weekly and offer many items, both certified and uncertified. The majority of items sold are those that have been rejected for sale in catalog sales or items with problems (slightly damaged, questionable provenance, minor firm certification, etc.) Although there are some firms using the Internet for it’s efficiency, the Internet is more the realm of the untrained bargain-seeker that tends to overpay for less than quality material. It is a wonderful place to sell material, but definitely not the best for acquisition of high quality material.
Professional collectors and dealers prefer the established venue of live auctions to acquire the best material. The large auction houses now have internet bidding available on their live sales, however, internet bidding is closed 24 hours prior to the live auction taking place. The floor bidders take precedent to internet bidders in these cases.

Auction values are generally not guaranteed. The prices realized can be either higher or lower than estimated based on market conditions and activity. However, some of the larger auction houses will guarantee the items to sell at an agreed upon price between the auction house and the consignor.Buying at auction allows knowledgeable buyers to opportunity to acquire material at or below wholesale by purchasing undervalued, high grade items that may currently be out of favor. All collectibles have cyclical performance.Auctions are best utilized during steadily rising markets for liquidationClients selling items may receive advance payments up to 50% of the estimated value on consignments up to two weeks prior to the date of the actual auctionAdvances are charged a nominal interest rate

How We Work
We provide services as an independent auction agent to represent clients with high value material to the top auction houses and direct dealers.
The client’s timetable for liquidation, type of material and need for confidentiality
are important considerations in order to recommend the correct venue, method of sale and auction firm. Our service eliminates the confusion of contacting a number of different firms each of which has their own agenda in soliciting the client’s business.
We negotiate for the clients at premier auctions conducted by the nation's top
firms in order to help our clients acquire the best prices for their material.
The client’s receive the proceeds directly from the auction houses or direct dealers after the sale according to the terms of the auction consignment agreement.

How We Work
Burnett Marus Associates (BMA) works with the financial advisor and his client as a independent consultant.
Compensation to BMA is typically made by the auction house. This is not
an add-on fee that is charged to the client. In cases where auction is not recommended or suitable for the client, a fee will be charged based on the time and expenses for evaluation services. Such fees will be discussed and agreed upon prior to engagement of services.
