Financial Investment & Beyond

Global Seed Trust offers financial instruments without relying on intermediaries such as brokerages, exchanges, or banks by using smart contracts on a blockchain. It's a system that removes the control banks, institutions and, to a large extent, the government have on money, financial products, and financial services, and runs on a digital/crypto currency payment system.

Global Seed Trust being fully decentralized isn't claimed or owned by any individual or entity, but was an idea brought to life by a network of integrated blockchain validators and portfolio managers operating on smart contracts.

A smart contract is a computer program or a transaction protocol stored on the blockchain which is intended to automatically execute, control or document legally relevant events and actions according to the terms of a contract or an agreement. They typically are used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all participants can be immediately certain of the outcome, without any intermediary's involvement or time loss.

Global Seed Trust is a protocol backed by blockchain and runs on smart contracts, hence payments and transactions are carried out through cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), ripple (XRP), binance token (BNB) and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC.

Wealth management usually refers to a suite of services that provides the opportunity to work with a financial professional. It usually includes working together on a broad plan to help grow and protect assets and it often includes the ability to take advantage of professional money management.

While the minimum investment required varies from investment firm to investment firm, at Global Seed Trust, portfolios with a minimum of $25k have a personal wealth manager assigned to them. Wealth management is designed for clients whose financial situations warrant the personal attention of a financial professional, but at Global Seed Trust, every investor has access to contact a wealth manager for a free consultation.

There are a number of things one can do in an effort to protect wealth, such as retirement planning, estate planning (including developing a plan for the orderly transfer of wealth to your heirs), being more tax-efficient, or exploring the addition of fixed income investments to a portfolio.

Alternative investments are investments specifically meant for accredited investors who are wealthier than normal retail investors. Such investments are made in assets that do not fall under traditional asset classes, like individual stocks, bonds, etc. The lower market correlation makes these investments less volatile, and hence these turn out to be a hedge against inflation for investors. These non-conventional investments are classified as tangible (real estate, precious metals, commodities, etc.) and intangible (private equity, hedge funds, cryptocurrency, etc.).

Clients may engage in a wealth management relationship for a number of different reasons. Some choose to do so because they need help planning for certain goals, or need guidance around estate planning, protecting wealth, retirement planning, or ways to manage their tax obligations. Others choose wealth management because they don't have the time or the desire to manage their own portfolios or simply value the input of a financial professional, who can act as a sounding board.

Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are investments that fall between alternative and traditional investments. They let investors enjoy alternative investment opportunities while not facing any illiquidity issues. In addition, unlike other alt funds, ETFs are well-regulated and could be easily managed, sold, and converted to cash.

Depending on your personal situation, there are a number of ways to potentially reduce or defer the taxes you pay on your investments. These can include finding ways to reduce or defer income, capital gains, and estate taxes. Strategies such as Roth IRA conversions, asset location, tax-loss harvesting, or revisiting your gifting and estate plans may help you grow your wealth and preserve your legacy.
