Wealth Architecture
For Your Family And Legacy
The financial decisions that define a legacy span decades and disciplines, from how assets are invested and taxed today to how they transfer across generations. Aeternum was built to bring the depth and integration that planning at that level requires.
What We Do
Planning Built Around the Full Picture
When investment management, tax strategy, and estate planning operate independently of one another, the full picture of your financial life suffers. We bring those disciplines into a unified planning framework built for clients with complex, multi-layered financial lives where decisions in one area inevitably shape outcomes in others. That integration is what allows a financial plan to account for the complete scope of your situation, not just its most visible parts.

High-Net-Worth and Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals
Wealth at this level rarely exists as a single pool of assets. High-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families typically manage a financial picture that spans investment portfolios, real estate, business interests, estate structures, and multi-generational considerations, each requiring a degree of coordination that goes well beyond standard portfolio management. Our planning framework is built to address that full breadth.
- Multi-generational estate and legacy planning
- Tax-efficient investment management
- Concentrated position and risk management
- Family wealth transfer and governance strategies
- Philanthropic and charitable planning
Business Owners
Owning a business creates financial complexity that most planning frameworks are not designed to address. The boundary between personal and business wealth is rarely clean, and decisions around ownership structure, succession, and eventual exit carry tax, legal, and estate implications that benefit from attention well before those events arrive. Our work integrates both sides of the financial picture into a unified plan built around the full trajectory of the business and the life beyond it.
- Business succession and exit planning
- Personal and business wealth integration
- Liquidity event and capital gains strategy
- Ownership structure and equity planning
- Estate planning tied to business interests
Corporate Executives
For executives at public companies, pre-IPO ventures, and private firms, compensation is rarely a single line item. Equity awards, deferred compensation, stock options, and potential severance packages each carry distinct tax implications and planning windows that require coordinated attention across legal, tax, and investment disciplines. We work with current and retiring executives to bring those components into a cohesive, long-term plan.
- Executive compensation and equity award planning
- Deferred compensation optimization and payout strategy
- Concentrated stock position management
- Golden parachute and severance analysis
- Estate and legacy planning for executive-level wealth
Athletes and Entertainers
Peak earning years in professional sports and entertainment are finite, and the financial decisions made during them shape what the decades that follow look like. The concentration of income into a compressed window, combined with the tax complexity and public profile that often accompany it, requires a planning posture built on long-horizon thinking from the outset.
- Income longevity and multi-decade planning
- Tax management across high-earning years
- Asset protection and wealth preservation
- Post-career income and transition planning
- Legacy and estate planning

Our Process
A Structured Path From Assessment to Legacy
Our planning process connects the current state of your financial life to the legacy you want to build, addressing every dimension in between.
Stage 1: Asset inventory
Identifying every asset you own and assigning each a role toward retirement, legacy, or both.
Stage 2: Duration Strategy
A retirement projection that accounts for tax exposure, allocation risk, and where assets are held.
Stage 3: Longevity and Legacy
Structuring long-horizon assets outside the estate for generational holding, while maintaining accessibility if circumstances require.
Stage 4: Philanthropic Strategies
Directing assets toward charitable strategies that freeze estate value, create income, and fund your causes.
Stage 5: Tax and Asset Protection
Shielding assets from estate and income tax through irrevocable trust strategies designed for multi-generational protection.
Who We Are
Where Institutional Expertise Serves Personal Priorities
Aeternum Capital was founded in 2025 to bring institutional-grade planning depth to high-net-worth individuals and families who have long deserved it but rarely had access to it. The firm operates on the conviction that boutique service and institutional capability are not mutually exclusive.
Filipp Zaytsev
Founding Principal and Lead Wealth Strategist
His career began on the institutional side of finance, spanning private equity, private debt, venture capital, and boutique financial firms, where direct exposure to institutional deal flow, capital markets trading, and sophisticated asset allocation strategies gave him a firsthand view of what sophisticated planning entails. The distance between that standard and what most private clients received became the founding rationale for Aeternum Capital.
With over 11 years of experience in financial services, Filipp's work at Aeternum centers on wealth strategy architecture, comprehensive investment solutions, and long-term generational planning. A five-time Equitable Life Leader, MDRT® Top of the Table™ qualifier, Gold Eagle Award recipient, and Equitable Excalibur Award holder, he is consistently ranked among the top financial professionals in the country. He lives in Tribeca, New York, where his interests outside of work include strength training, cycling, and longevity science.
