A Bluestar Concierge will guide you to the right next step.

What’s included

Understanding Alternative Asset Classes

We help you explore the role of alternative strategies, including categories like private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure. We focus on what they are, how they typically work, and where they may or may not fit in a plan.

Diversification Considerations

We provide general guidance on how alternatives can change portfolio diversification and exposure. We discuss trade-offs, including liquidity, time horizon, and how alternatives may interact with traditional holdings.

Private-Market Due Diligence Framework

We outline key principles used to evaluate private-market opportunities, including structure, fees, governance, and underlying risk drivers. The goal is a clear framework for questions to ask before making a commitment.

Long-Term Planning Conversations

We discuss how alternative investments may interact with long-term goals like retirement income, wealth transfer, and legacy planning. We keep the conversation practical and anchored to your broader financial plan.

How it works

01

Speak with a Bluestar Concierge

Tell us what you're trying to do, and share a few high level details. The Concierge will assess your needs internally with the right service professionals and confirm if anything is required before a consultation is booked, saving you time and money.

02

We confirm the next steps

If additional information is needed, the Concierge will follow up with any questions. Then they will confirm the next step, including whether your matter needs a paid consultation or an upfront retainer. You will know all the requirements before anything is scheduled.

03

Your single point of contact

Once we know what you need, the Concierge will coordinate everything for you. They will connect you with the right professional, keep the timeline moving, and handle cross-service follow-up when it helps. If your situation involves more than one professional, you won't have to call around or repeat yourself. the Concierge will keep everything aligned so nothing is missed.
