A note on figures. Minimum investment amounts reflect Latitude's published program terms (latitudeworld.com, accessed June 2026). Processing timelines, eligibility, and family inclusion reflect general program parameters as of early 2026 and change frequently, often quarterly. This page is a starting point, not legal, tax, or investment advice. The right route depends on your goals, tax position, and timeline, so confirm current requirements before acting.

Not sure which fits your family?

That is the right question, and the one I start with. Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation about your objectives, not a program pitch.
