WHEN WEALTH IS MORE THAN A PORTFOLIO
Markets are only one part of the equation. Families can lose control when debt, ownership, liquidity, tax exposure, estate obligations, succession decisions, policy change or cross-border complexity collide at the wrong time.
The Merrick Spitters Asset Security Framework™ examines the structural forces reshaping wealth, ownership and financial sovereignty across North America: asset security, purchasing power, custody, liquidity, jurisdiction, policy change, succession and continuity. Through independent articles, video briefings, frameworks, and white papers, we give business owners, farmers, landowners, affluent retirees, and family wealth stewards clearer ways to understand the pressures that can limit choice, weaken control, or put what they have built at risk.
The Merrick Spitters Approach
The Merrick Spitters Asset Security Framework™ looks beyond investment allocation to the structure of ownership itself: how assets are held, where liquidity sits, who controls it, which counterparties and jurisdictions stand between a family and its capital, and whether the plan will still work under pressure.
It is a practical way to examine the relationship between purchasing power, ownership, custody, liquidity, debt, succession and continuity. The objective is not to predict every event. It is to identify vulnerabilities early, preserve choice and help ensure that what a family has built remains secure, usable and capable of serving the next generation.
It Starts With Gold
Our international bestseller, It Starts With Gold™, explores the forces reshaping money, ownership, and financial sovereignty.
Written by Peter J. Merrick, TEP® and Adrian C. Spitters, CFP®, FCSI®, CEA, the book serves as both a warning and a practical guide for those who want to understand the system and protect what they have built.
