We see both positives and negatives to President Biden s proposals. It all comes back to a family’s balance sheet, how their wealth is structured and importantly, their goals and objectives. Some moves the president is making on the tax front will of course impact a family’s tax liabilities negatively. However, family assets
should also continue to grow at a healthy clip as a result of other initiatives, so there are growth opportunities that can help offset some of the new tax exposure. From a balance sheet perspective, we would hope the increase in assets offset the increase in liabilities.
The 2020 election did not result in the massive blue wave that many predicted, but there are definitely still blue ripples reaching shore especially now that Democrats won both Senate seats in the Georgia runoff elections. With the Democrats controlling the White House and now both houses of Congress, there are certainly changes in tax policy and other areas that ultra-wealthy families should expect and watch closely. That said, we believe the pendulum probably will not swing as far left as some people fear. There will be elements of the Democratic party pushing in that direction, but historically, Joe Biden has governed as a centrist. Additionally, a couple of Democratic senators, who already voted against the Green New Deal in 2019, probably will not agree to tax changes as originally espoused by the Biden Tax Plan.
