About The GSG Family of Companies

Global Specialty Group
A Bespoke Wealth Advisory Firm For Private Clients

Global Specialty Group, LLC – (“GSG”) exists because sophisticated wealth planning demands more than a single capability. As the parent holding company for Specialty Wealth Advisory and Specialty Assurance Group, GSG provides the governance, strategic alignment, and shared infrastructure that allow each organization to operate with focus while serving a common purpose: helping advisors deliver bespoke solutions to the families who need them most.

Our founders built businesses before building this one. That shapes everything—the questions we ask, the patience we bring, the families we understand. We work best with people who created something from nothing and now face the complex problem of preserving it.

Specialty Wealth Advisory recognizes your complex needs demand more than standard solutions. Our approach breaks free from traditional constraints by first developing a complete understanding of your current situation – from existing structures and documentation to underlying goals – before considering any recommendations. 

Our approach recognizes the vital alliance between the families we serve and the trusted professionals who guide them. While our commitment to each family’s financial well-being remains our primary focus, we deeply value the strategic partnerships with investment advisors, attorneys, CPAs, and financial planners who align with our expertise. The majority of our 1,400+ client relationships reflect these successful collaborations—a testament to our dedication to supporting both our client’s goals and their trusted advisor’s professional vision. 

Our collaborative methodology, combined with our entrepreneurial experience and perspective, creates a unique advantage in developing innovative solutions that look beyond conventional boundaries. 

Specialty Management Co. is a service of Global Specialty Group that provides professional Institutional Dedicated Fund (IDF) management for high-net-worth investors. Offered exclusively through private placement life insurance (PPLI) and private placement variable annuity (PPVA) structures, these IDFs are designed to support long-term, tax-efficient growth while meeting IRS requirements around investor control and diversification. Through Specialty Management Co., funds are managed by experienced, independent asset managers who make discretionary investment decisions, allowing clients to benefit from institutional-level oversight without the burden of day-to-day management. 

International life insurance companies offering private placement policies promote a variety of attractive insurance options designed to benefit their affluent clients. While these contracts are private placements by nature, carriers often fail to deliver the services necessary to meet client expectations in the manner they expected. Complex wealth requires sophisticated architecture. 

Specialty Assurance Group (SAG) was founded by entrepreneurs to bring institutional-quality Private Placement Life Insurance structures to sophisticated families and family offices. Drawing on deep operational experience and trusted industry relationships, we recognized a fundamental gap in the PPLI marketplace and built a solution that addresses it systematically.
