2. The Challenge
Wealth management has grown to be a very big business. There is no shortage of people and firms seeking to be
the “trusted advisor” to wealthy individuals, families and private foundations. They approach this attractive market
with all sorts of motivations, business models, levels of experience and, frankly, degrees of trustworthiness. In
most cases, their principal motivation is to sell a product (usually investment related), and the advice and other
services they provide become subordinate to that goal. These secondary services are often provided at a
substantial discount, or even free of charge, putting additional pressure on the need for more product sales in
order to sustain the profit growth that management and the stock markets demand. This clear conflict makes it
very difficult for them to be that “trusted advisor.”
I believe that wealthy clients want something very simple: the assistance of a person or group with the requisite
skills and experience to help them navigate the many challenges that great wealth entails, who can give them the
“sleep at night” comfort that their interests are understood and are being protected, so that they can focus on the
other important aspects of their lives.
What they want is a fiduciary.
For generations, bank trust officers filled this role, and did so admirably. But corporate profit pressures and the
ascendancy of other business lines and business models have relegated these professionals to the dreaded back
office backwater of “cost center.” Lack of investment and rounds of “expense reductions” have decimated their
ranks. In many cases, they now have sales goals, which can place them in direct conflict with their primary role as
fiduciary. Not surprisingly, this has driven considerable turnover in the industry and a diminishing interest in
appointing banks and other institutions as corporate fiduciaries. Family offices and private trust companies have
stepped in to fill that void, but only for the very wealthiest of clients.
For the rest, the need remains. This problem must be solved. We must find an effective way to bridge the gap
between expectations (fiduciary, trusted advisor) and economic reality (product-driven economics). Our clients
deserve it.

9. A Final Word
“What’s in a name?” (Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet)
The Northway name and mountain logo are particularly meaningful to me, personally.
I grew up in the city and town of Plattsburgh, at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains on the western shores of Lake
Champlain, a short distance from the Canadian border at the very northeast corner of New York State. Known affectionately
as the "North Country," it is a spectacularly beautiful spot physically, even in the few months when the climate can be, well,
less than welcoming. It will always be, for me, a favorite destination, a place of happiness and fulfillment.
The road to that destination (literally) is Interstate 87. The portion of I-87 which runs from Albany to Plattsburgh is called the
Adirondack Northway. Northway thus is, to me, synonymous with the most direct route to a destination of great personal
significance.
My family has another, very special connection with the Northway.
In 1954, my father, James A. (Jim) FitzPatrick, then a New York State Assemblyman, introduced the bill that established the
Northway as we know it, and approved the funds necessary for its construction. He is credited as the author of its name -- a
combined reference to the New York Thruway to which it is connected, and the direction one would travel to reach the
Adirondacks -- and was present with Governor Nelson Rockefeller at its dedication in 1961. On his death in 1988, he was
eulogized as "the father of the Northway."
For more on the sometimes amusing history of the origin and construction of the Northway, see:

adirondack-northway-stagecoaches-and-a-constitutional-amendment/
Finally, on the most fundamental level, our name and logo are meant to symbolize the upward, positive (northward) path to
achieving whatever one’s individual personal definition of success might be. We look forward to being your partner and
companion on that journey.
