Do you have a highly concentrated position in a stock, mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF)? Do you have a plan in place to reduce the risk and manage this position in a tax-efficient manner?
In a recent episode of the Science of Economic Freedom, we covered the pros and cons associated with a highly concentrated position, or HCP. And while an HCP can help you build wealth, it can also represent both a threat and a challenge to your financial goals.
