When a single stock becomes a large portion of overall wealth, it can create a difficult tradeoff between protecting what’s been built and maintaining future upside. Concentrated positions often come from equity compensation, long-term investments, or business success—and managing that risk requires a thoughtful approach. In this episode, Jerry Davidse explains how hedging strategies can help investors reduce downside risk while remaining invested.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• Why concentrated stock positions can introduce significant portfolio risk

• How hedging strategies can help reduce downside exposure without immediately selling shares

• What protective puts are and how they can establish a price “floor”

• How collars work by combining downside protection with limited upside

• Why collars can sometimes reduce or offset hedging costs

• What prepaid forward contracts are and how they can assist with liquidity and tax timing

• How hedging can help investors avoid large, all-at-once decisions

• The role of hedging in managing risk during transition periods

• How gradual diversification can be incorporated into a broader financial plan

• Why flexibility—not just protection—is a key benefit of hedging strategies

Managing a concentrated stock position requires balancing risk, taxes, and long-term goals. Presilium works with clients to evaluate strategies that align with their broader financial plan while helping reduce unnecessary risk exposure. For investors looking to better understand their options, the Presilium team is available to provide guidance.
