Jay Pestrichelli’s New Podcast Appearance: Solutions to Concentrated Stock Risk
By Jillian Baker
Investors holding large concentrated stock positions often present a challenge for advisors. While many understand the heightened risk and need for diversification, the low-cost basis and resulting tax consequences of liquidation complicate the process. But what if there was a way to add value and help manage risk while calculating a structured shift to hedged diversification?
ZEGA Financials’ Jay Pestrichelli joins Derek Moore to discuss how risky single stocks are and how we have a system to hedge that risk. Some people want to hold concentrated stock positions due to tax consequences and are reticent to sell. Many people might be surprised how often single stocks sell off significantly. See how using a hedging strategy can help manage risk, schedule diversification, and use hedging profits to buy more shares otherwise known as the hedger’s opportunity. See the show notes below for links discussed in episode and other Jay and Derek episodes.
Jay and Derek also discuss that once again the market is within 3% of an all-time high. Something they discussed on a previous podcast.
