The firm.By design.
Two partners, both out of institutional finance. One idea: what the institutions build for themselves should be available to owners who’ve earned the seat.
Built to close a gap.Not to scale a brand.
Financial institutions build this kind of structure for themselves and for a small set of clients at the top. Retail accountants file returns. In between sits a gap. Most business owners pay more tax than they need to, and not because the strategies don’t exist. It’s that nobody builds and runs them at this scale.
Quantus exists to close that gap. Between the two of us: institutional wealth management, alternative investments, real estate, and family offices. A partnership, not a pipeline. We take on a small number of engagements each quarter.
The work isn’t a product. It’s a structure. Built once, watched after, and made to compound.
Shaun Eck
Managing Partner · Co-Founder
Shaun is a Managing Partner and co-founder of Quantus. His background includes work in structured finance, investment management, and tax-advantaged wealth strategy. He serves as a trusted advisor to high-net-worth individuals and family offices looking to enhance returns while protecting their assets.
Before Quantus, Shaun was Senior Vice President of Advanced Planning at a family office-owned advisory firm. The practice focused on asset protection and estate planning for ultra-high-net-worth families, including institutional structures that work across both domestic and foreign wealth.
Earlier, Shaun was Vice President and Portfolio Advisor at Merrill Lynch, where he built an investment model around what GAAP and IFRS reporting leaves out. It recalculated company financials to show what a business was actually doing.
The model traded often, and the IRS treats every trade as a sale. For anyone holding it outside a retirement account, that meant a bill every year. Looking for ways to cut that bill is what moved him toward tax structure, and eventually to Quantus.
Before wealth management, Shaun was Managing Partner at a real estate consulting firm focused on capital markets. He raised debt and equity for developers at the regional and national level, along with an international oil company and retired professional athletes.
