Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust
The bank was launched in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 2011 before relocating its headquarters to Manhattan, backed by a roster of founding client families and a private-equity sponsor that saw an opening in the post-crisis wealth-management market. The founding thesis held that the most sophisticated families wanted a single balance-sheet institution that combined private-banking capabilities — jumbo mortgages, art-backed loans, aircraft financing — with access to institutional alternative managers at fee levels typically reserved for pension funds. The bank built a referral network through law firms, accounting practices, and multi-family offices rather than pursuing a direct-to-consumer brand campaign. Fieldpoint deploys client capital across a deliberately curated set of asset classes and structures. The bank runs in-house lending books while sourcing private equity, private credit, real estate, and hedge-fund allocations through external managers. Rather than building proprietary funds, Fieldpoint positions itself as a gatekeeper that negotiates institutional share classes and co-investment sleeves on behalf of its client base. The investment committee maintains active dialogues with a concentrated roster of general partners, functioning more like an outsourced-OCIO arrangement for families who prefer not to staff an internal investment office. The bank has kept its team deliberately lean relative to its client base, though it has not publicly disclosed total headcount. Known operating hubs are concentrated in the New York metropolitan area and South Florida, the latter serving as a key node for tax-migration clients. Fieldpoint operates an in-house trust company through a Delaware charter, which forms the structural backbone for multi-generational estate planning. In September 2024 the bank remained independently operated under private-equity ownership, maintaining its posture as a standalone institution unaffiliated with any larger bank holding company. Fieldpoint's structural differentiator lies in its status as a private-equity-backed operating bank that functions like a family-office aggregator without the marketing designation of a multi-family office. Unlike an RIA that outsources custody and lending, Fieldpoint holds its own balance sheet and issues its own loans — allowing it to capture the full banking relationship alongside the advisory mandate. This hybrid model creates a single point of commercial accountability for families who would otherwise coordinate across a private banker, an RIA, a trust attorney, and a fund-of-funds allocator.

Frequently asked questions
How does Fieldpoint Private structure its investment programs?
Fieldpoint does not manufacture proprietary investment products. The bank's investment committee sources private equity, private credit, real estate, and hedge-fund strategies from external managers and negotiates institutional share classes, lower minimums, and co-investment access for its client base. This outsourced-CIO model lets families access funds that would otherwise require substantially larger individual commitments. The bank discloses sector and manager preferences through its client-facing investment policy statements, though specific manager rosters are not public.
Is Fieldpoint Private a family office or a commercial bank?
Fieldpoint is a state-chartered commercial bank and trust company that operates like a private-banking boutique for ultra-high-net-worth families. It maintains its own balance sheet, issues loans directly, and runs a Delaware-chartered trust company — functions a pure advisory firm cannot replicate. The bank is privately held by a sponsor and a group of founding families rather than being controlled by a single family office or a publicly traded bank holding company.
What lending capabilities does Fieldpoint Private offer?
The bank specializes in complex, collateralized lending that mass-affluent private banks often avoid — jumbo residential mortgages, art-secured credit lines, aircraft financing, and structured loans against concentrated equity positions or partnership interests. Because Fieldpoint holds loans on its own balance sheet rather than brokering them out, it can structure bespoke terms and maintain discretion throughout the lending relationship. The loan book composition is not publicly disclosed.
Where does Fieldpoint Private concentrate its client coverage geographically?
Fieldpoint's primary coverage hubs are the New York metropolitan area — where the bank is headquartered — and South Florida, a market that gained strategic importance as ultra-high-net-worth families relocated for tax and lifestyle reasons. The bank has not publicly disclosed additional offices beyond these two regions. Client acquisition runs predominantly through professional-service referral networks rather than mass-market advertising.
How do families interact with Fieldpoint Private's trust and estate planning capabilities?
The bank operates a Delaware-chartered trust company that serves as a trustee, custodian, and administrative fiduciary for multi-generational wealth-transfer structures. This allows Fieldpoint to integrate trust administration with the banking and investment-advisory relationship under one roof. The trust company's specific assets under administration and the number of active trust relationships are not publicly disclosed.
What is Fieldpoint Private's ownership structure?
Fieldpoint was launched with backing from a private-equity sponsor alongside a consortium of founding ultra-high-net-worth families who became both shareholders and clients. The bank has remained privately held since its 2011 founding and is not affiliated with any larger bank holding company. The identity of the current controlling sponsor and the exact shareholder composition are matters of public regulatory record but are not actively publicized by the bank.
Does Fieldpoint Private report its assets under management or administration?
Fieldpoint does not publicly disclose a consolidated AUM or AUA figure. As a private company and a regulated bank, it files call reports and other regulatory disclosures that contain balance-sheet data, but the bank does not market a single headline number for client assets. Any widely circulated AUM figure would require attribution to a specific publication or regulatory filing date.
