Deconstructing a Collection: Preparing Your Family to Handle Your Investment Down the Road

Tom Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®, uses his own considerable sports memorabilia collection and situation as the basis for his recently published Forbes.com article. He notes, “With more than 200 million collectors of varying types worldwide, it’s not surprising many of my high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients are acquiring all kinds of collectibles such as artwork, fine wine and spirits, jewelry, coins, vintage and classic cars, and arms and armaments as investments.”

He goes on to discuss how his own penchant for collecting has informed the way he interacts with, and coaches, like-minded clients, and focuses on the importance of having a well-thought-out plan that can provide crucial guidance to your family or heirs if collecting intersects with your worst day ever.
