Who We Are

Advice that’s Aligned with Your Family Values

People who are passionate about what they do naturally gravitate toward those who share common ground on a fundamental level.

For us, our family wealth focus grew out of our tendency to surround ourselves with people who shared our core values – like family life, legacy and prosperity. At the same time, our professional capabilities grew out of our determination to find ever-improving ways to pursue, track and achieve client objectives. This led us to acquire expert knowledge in areas like tax-efficient growth and advanced estate strategies, which we now deliver to our clients as an independent firm focused exclusively on their individual needs.

Altogether, what's developed over the course of more than 25 years is an extraordinary set of multigenerational family relationships, and a specialized platform through which we can serve them with complete objectivity.

“Wealth is personal – and family wealth is even more intertwined with your values and emotions. We have the personal perspective that’s needed to understand your priorities fully, and we have the technical proficiency to support those priorities through family wealth strategy.”
Beau M. Barrett CFP®, CRPC®
Founding Partner

The RiceBarrett Process for Families

As a result of the freedom and objectivity that independence provides us, we can identify best-in-class service providers and deliver a deeper level of customization throughout the client relationship. We designed our advisory process to leverage our resources for the purpose of guiding clients toward their family wealth goals.

The RiceBarrett Process

STEP 1: The Relationship Framework

We facilitate a relationship framework conversation that outlines what you can expect from us throughout our advisory relationship, including ongoing services and communication mandates.

STEP 2: Mutual Discovery and Commitment

We meet with you to establish a foundational understanding of your family’s values, to review our 15 Key Wealth Considerations, and to define goals for your financial security and family wealth.

STEP 3: Family Wealth Planning

In collaboration with our in-house team and any relevant professionals in our family office network, we construct a comprehensive family wealth plan, lifetime cash flow projections and an investment strategy aligned with your goals and risk tolerance.

STEP 4: Dedicated Follow-Through

Once we present our recommendations to you, we initiate a systematic implementation process to help ensure that all applicable steps are taken to follow through on your wealth plan.

STEP 5: Diligent Monitoring

We periodically review your asset allocations to account for shifting market, economic and investor sentiment conditions, and we regularly adjust your living plan as life evolves.

STEP 6: Ongoing Support

In addition to hosting your annual Comprehensive Checkup, we are your family’s resource for exploring new ideas, staying financially organized and making strategic wealth decisions.

Our Core Team

After 20 years in the financial services industry, Martin Rice co-founded RiceBarrett Family Wealth alongside Beau Barrett in 2018.

As a wirehouse breakaway, for Martin the Partnered Independence platform offered through Sanctuary Wealth represented an opportunity to deliver greater depth of service to families across the country, with whom he had built strong client relationships over the course of two decades.

Martin holds an M.S. in agricultural economics from Purdue University and a B.S. in agricultural business from Middle Tennessee State University. He has a unique background that includes not only trading floor experience at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, but also over a decade in agribusiness. This culminated in a role overseeing the launch of ground-breaking genetically modified corn hybrids, the first of their kind in the company and in the industry as a whole.

In 1998, Martin decided to pursue his passion for working with individuals and families to provide personalized financial guidance. He attained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation in 2001 as well as the Certified Investment Management Analyst® designation in 2005.

An avid outdoorsman who enjoys upland hunting and fresh-water big game fishing, Martin is also an active fixed-wing pilot, holding Commercial privileges and a variety of ratings and endorsements. He lives in Indiana and Tennessee with his wife, Jolene, has two grown children and holds leadership roles in various non-profit organizations in his community.
