For a number of reasons, you may find yourself with a substantial portion of your wealth concentrated in a single stock. Perhaps you sold your business through an exchange of stock or invested wisely in a stock that has performed well. In any case, you find yourself in a potentially risky financial situation, but diversifying your portfolio seems certain to create a tax burden.

A Trusted Advisor
We will help you identify and structure the optimum solution to your needs. We will:

  • consult with you on your circumstances and objectives
  • analyze available alternatives
  • counsel you on the benefits and implications of each alternative
  • tailor a cost-effective solution to your individual profile
  • identify issues for you to review with your tax and legal advisors

Targeted Solutions in Synch with Your Goals
Exposure management strategies must be evaluated within the context of your broader financial circumstances. You and your relationship manager will review your:

  • overall financial picture
  • tax situation
  • risk tolerance
  • time horizon
  • immediate and long-term objectives

Possible available strategies include:

  • sale and reinvestment of all or part of the original asset
  • hedging to limit risk and defer capital gains
  • long-term solutions such as exchange funds and charitable remainder trusts
