Low-Basis Stock Diversification

Much of our challenge in portfolio management, particularly with older individual investors who have accumulated substantial wealth, concerns the design and creation of a diversified portfolio from a concentrated portfolio of a few long-held stocks - or even just one - with respect to which the investor has a low tax basis.

Through years of analysis and investment management, WIC has experience with a variety of investment strategies designed to diversify such a concentrated portfolio on a tax-neutral or tax-effective basis. One such strategy is the use of a charitable remainder trust to diversify a concentrated portfolio without triggering a taxable event from the liquidation and reinvestment of the portfolio. Other such strategies include utilizing donor-advised funds with community foundations, forward contracts, put and call options, and exchange funds.
