What do you do when your biggest investment win becomes your biggest portfolio risk?
In this episode of the G360 Wealth Podcast, Sam Diarbakerly sits down with Jack Vogel, Co-CIO of Alpha Architect, to unpack one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in the tax code: the Section 351 exchange. For investors holding highly appreciated, concentrated stock positions, diversification can feel costly and complicated. Jack walks through how a 351 exchange works, who it may be appropriate for, and how it may help simplify portfolios without immediately triggering capital gains taxes, subject to meeting IRS requirements.
They also explore how this strategy compares to exchange funds and direct indexing, where it fits within a broader wealth plan, and why simplification often leads to better long-term outcomes.
