"In an anticipated environment of rising taxes on the wealthy, IDFs are an efficient investment tool to help families achieve the goal of preserving their wealth throughout multiple generations," said Mr. Wosk. "Our Proficio Capital Strategic Opportunities IDF has received a very positive response in the marketplace since its 2017 launch. We are building on that momentum by expanding our sales and marketing efforts through the partnership with Ms. Halliday."
