Strategies: Be Different. Invest Smart.

Executive/Entrepreneur

Investor profile

You've amassed a significant stock concentration, either from an IPO or buyout or after spending many years at a publicly-traded company. You feel confident about the long-term prospects of the company, but are uncomfortable having all your eggs in one basket.

Your issues and concerns

  • You want an investment advisor with a pulse on the health of the overall market and a strong opinion on when to take defensive measures.
  • You prefer to manage risk through well-timed selling and hedging strategies, rather than holding on to your stock in unfavorable times.
  • Instead of relying solely on fundamentals, you'd like a technical opinion on your stock—when market activity indicates you should buy or sell.
  • Independent, objective thinking is important to you. You want to avoid investment banking and research department bias.
  • You’d like to take advantage of the best pricing from the premier trading desks on Wall Street.

"The company
fundamentals look great,
but 2008 proved that’s not
always enough. I need an
unemotional opinion on
my stock—someone who
will tell me to sell, even
when I want to hold on."
