Question

Should I sell my concentrated stock position all at once?

Answer

Selling all at once can trigger a large capital gains tax bill and is rarely the right approach on its own. Spreading sales across several tax years helps keep more of the gain out of your highest tax bracket each year. You can also pair staged selling with tax-loss harvesting or other strategies to reduce the tax impact. A Mercer Advisors wealth advisor can help you build a diversified sale schedule tailored to your tax situation and goals.
