When Trust Matters

WG Partners serves foreign clients with a need for a trusted representative in the United States. 

We support companies and individual and institutional investors in managing their interests in the United States.

Its service offering addresses the needs of high net worth individuals, family offices, foreign companies and investors.  WG Partners does not provide financial, investment, legal or tax advice or brokerage or accounting services.  Rather, we work with the advisors of our clients’ choice.  At our clients’ request, we can make recommendations for service providers to provide these services.
