Summary
Many people have an overabundance of wealth tied up in what’s commonly called a “highly concentrated position.” This is basically an asset on your balance sheet that represents a large portion of your net worth.
Some common examples of a highly concentrated position include: A personal residence that you own free and clear, a business that you own outright or are in partnerships with others, an individual stock or mutual fund that has grown large enough to represent more than 10% of your investment portfolio, or stock options in a single company.
