Alongside the many financial benefits of receiving equity compensation, such as stock options, from your employer, having a high percentage of wealth in one investment can be risky. How can you tell when it’s time to diversify? What options should you consider?
We wrap up our three-part series on equity concentration with this episode featuring Duncan Wilk of Mercer Advisors, who joins host Doug Fabian to look at highly concentrated investment positions from a risk-vs.-reward perspective.
Hear their guidance on:
- Recognizing when your investment portfolio might be over-concentrated in one area
- “De-risking” a highly concentrated stock position or other type of investment
- The benefits of tax-loss harvesting
- Building a diversified portfolio around a large holding of one company’s stock
- How charitable giving and estate planning considerations influence a highly concentrated position
