Recovery captured

Overview

A high earner with a volatile, concentrated equity position needed a portfolio that could weather both markets and nerves.

The situation

Most of the client's net worth sat in a single company's stock, and past attempts to time the market had cost real money. A sharp downturn threatened both the balance sheet and the resolve to stay the course.

Our approach

We diversified the concentrated position on a tax-aware schedule, built a globally allocated core portfolio, and set clear rebalancing rules in advance so decisions were made by policy, not by panic.

The outcome

The client held through a double-digit drawdown without selling, captured the recovery in full, and reduced single-stock risk to a level that finally let the household sleep at night.
