Given concerns about environmental sustainability, conservation easements have emerged as a powerful tool for preserving natural resources while providing tangible benefits to landowners and businesses alike. These legally binding agreements between landowners and conservation organizations or government entities restrict the types of development that can occur on a property, ensuring its natural and agricultural value is maintained. Here’s a closer look at how conservation easements can benefit both landowners and businesses.

Why Sentinel Trust Company? A heritage of loyalty. Recognizing that standard institutional offerings for wealth management and trust administration fell short of their families’ needs, and understanding the inherent limitations of single-family offices, the Flowers and Fruehauf families together created Sentinel Trust in 1997. Even though each family had more than four decades of single-family office history, the families realized that they needed to think beyond that structure to recruit the best talent, gain access to institutional investment opportunities, and manage their family affairs more efficiently. By combining their complementary strengths—real estate, oil and gas, and public and private equities for the Flowers family; hedge funds and private equity for the Fruehauf family—and administration of complex wealth planning structures by both families, they would be able to attract top professionals to serve them as well as other similarly situated families. #sentineltrustcompany #togetherfamiliesprosper #wealthmanagement #multifamilyoffice #wealthplanning

Few investment principles are as universally recognized and yet as challenging as the notion of sticking to a long-term investment plan. This principle suggests that investors should maintain a steady course through market swings and economic cycles, rather than reacting emotionally to short-term fluctuations. While it sounds straightforward in theory, its practical application demands discipline, patience, and a deep understanding of both market dynamics and personal financial goals.

Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just one step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down. — Eleanor Roosevelt #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2024 #sentineltrustcompany #togetherfamiliesprosper #wealthmanagement
