Ep 404: How to deal with investment concentration risk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Stuart breaks down what concentration risk really means and why it is not just about returns, but dependence. From large shareholdings to property and business exposure, he explains how having too much tied to a single asset can increase risk unless it is properly understood in the context of your broader strategy.
Stuart introduces a practical three-step framework to assess concentration risk: evaluating future returns and opportunity cost, testing how dependent your financial plan is on the asset, and comparing the cost of selling versus staying exposed. He also challenges the common tendency to let tax considerations drive decisions, often at the expense of better long-term outcomes.
The episode explores when concentration risk is acceptable, when it should be reduced, and the different ways to do it, from immediate divestment to gradual or opportunistic trimming.
A clear, strategic discussion on how to balance risk, return, and flexibility so your portfolio works for you, not against you.
