Time horizon, tax situation, income needs, risk tolerance. The portfolio is built from those inputs, not a one-size model.

How Our Investment Managers Approach Sunrise Portfolios
Sunrise concentrates households around Sawgrass International Corporate Park. Corporate regional managers, technology directors, and finance officers dominate the client file. Each receives meaningful compensation in RSUs and employer stock options. The portfolio's main job is to systematically diversify those vesting grants without letting single-stock risk pile up.
Sunrise also sits near the senior of the US household-income distribution, with the Census Bureau recording a median household income of $77,652. That corporate-employee profile with RSU-heavy compensation drives the programmatic vest-and-sell diversification, sector underweighting overlay, and 65-75% equity core that the mechanics below detail.
How Our Independent Investment Advisors Run Sunrise Portfolios
Vested restricted stock units get sold on release through a written schedule, treating the grant as cash compensation and reinvesting proceeds into diversified assets rather than letting single-stock concentration accumulate.
If an executive holds concentrated technology or corporate RSUs, the broader equity allocation underweights that specific sector so overall exposure offsets rather than duplicates the concentration.
The core allocation sits at 65-75% global equities and 25-35% intermediate fixed income, providing liquidity and stability across market cycles while the RSU vesting schedule drives new flows into the diversified sleeves.
Rebalancing restores target weights using scheduled RSU sale proceeds rather than selling appreciated long-term positions, keeping the cost basis working for you year after year.
Retail bank branches and corporate benefit brokerages along Sunrise Boulevard and the Sawgrass Expressway support high-commission annuities and proprietary wrap-fee products. Independent custody separates execution from distribution.
Sawgrass corporate employees often have a 401(k), an HSA, and an employee stock purchase plan available. Investment selections across the menu get coordinated to avoid redundant fund expenses and overlapping sector exposure.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Sunrise Asset Allocation And Independent Custody
Corporate Equity Diversification Across Executive RSU Schedules
Sunrise has corporate commerce corridors and residential communities like Artesia and Savannah, adjacent to Sawgrass International Corporate Park and the Amerant Bank Arena. The Census shows a population of 98,846, a median household income of $77,652, and 16.0% of residents age 65 or older. The Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances documents concentrations of corporate regional managers, technology directors, and finance officers.
A portfolio design for this profile isolates single-stock risk by systematically diversifying corporate compensation. Vested RSU programmatic liquidation automatically executes sales of vesting restricted stock upon share release. Equity grants get treated as cash compensation.
A sector underweighting overlay systematically underweights the executive's employer industry sector across broad equity allocations, preventing double exposure to corporate downturns. The core portfolio deploys 65-75% global equities and 25-35% intermediate fixed income. Rebalancing triggers on relative 15% corridor bands.
RSU Vesting Coordination And Multi-Tier Asset Location
Sunrise tax management focuses on multi-account asset location across corporate 401(k) plans, taxable brokerage, and Roth IRAs. The IRS Statistics of Income shows corporate executives face material ordinary income spikes in heavy RSU vesting years. The Census shows an effective property tax rate of 0.76% and median home values supporting ongoing capital accumulation.
Taxable brokerage holds broad-market low-turnover index ETFs. Qualified dividend treatment applies under IRC §1(h). Lot accounting runs under Specific Identification.
Asset location directs high-growth equity components into Roth IRAs and HSAs for tax-free compounding. Taxable brokerage holds low-turnover broad-market ETFs, keeping dividend distributions qualified under IRC §1(h). Tax-loss harvesting runs on a monthly review.
Discretionary Execution vs Retail Product Platforms
The Sunrise financial marketplace has retail bank branches, corporate benefit brokerages, and insurance agencies along Sunrise Boulevard and the Sawgrass Expressway. They frequently support high-commission annuities, proprietary packaged mutual funds, or wrap-fee products with embedded administration layers.
Intercoastal Wealth clears through an independent custodial arrangement via J.W. Cole Financial, through Charles Schwab or Fidelity. FINRA BrokerCheck and SEC Form ADV disclosure records demonstrate that an independent fee-based framework eliminates proprietary fund requirements, transaction loads, and captive distribution relationships.
Discretionary authority lets us adjust the portfolio as economic indicators and market signals shift without a phone call for every routine action. Every quarter you get a written investment report with net performance against a personalized composite benchmark, allocation drift versus policy, full disclosure of management fees deducted by the custodian. Detailed realized capital gain-and-loss reports for tax accounting.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions about Investment Management in Sunrise
Five questions: (1) are you a fiduciary at all times during engagements, (2) what are your fees in dollar amounts for my portfolio size, (3) will I receive a written Investment Policy Statement, (4) how do you coordinate with my CPA and tax strategy, and (5) can I see a sample portfolio allocation and Form ADV. The answers should be written before engagement.
Yes, as part of the Investment Policy Statement. We coordinate asset location (which account holds which security type for tax efficiency), tax-loss harvesting schedules, qualified dividend positioning, and Roth conversion timing. Your CPA files the 1040; we build the strategy the CPA executes.
The usual threshold is $500,000 to $1M in investable assets, or when complexity crosses the DIY line (equity comp, Roth conversion windows, estate funding, trust accounts, concentrated positions). Below that threshold, a target-date fund in your 401(k) often beats a paid advisor net of fees.
A registered investment advisor (RIA) is held to the fiduciary standard under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. That means the advisor is legally obligated to put your interests first during each engagement, disclose conflicts, and document each recommendation. Our firm's advisory services are provided under Form ADV Part 2A; brokerage execution is coordinated through J.W. Cole Financial, our broker-dealer.
For a Sunrise utility employee, the pension provides the fixed-income floor in retirement, which lets the 401(k) carry a higher equity allocation under the Investment Policy Statement. The utility employer match on the 401(k) is captured first (free money), then the remaining contributions are tax-optimized across Roth and traditional based on your projected retirement bracket.
For a Sunrise household with a 5-year home-upgrade target, the down payment sits in Treasuries or money-market funds (not equities), while retirement savings in the 401(k) and IRA stay fully invested per the long-horizon allocation. The Investment Policy Statement maintains two distinct risk postures so a market drawdown in year 4 does not derail the home-upgrade timeline.
