New Strategies and Best Practices to Manage Single-Stock Concentration Risk

From the 2008 CFA Institute Annual Conference

In this podcast, Thomas J. Boczar, CFA, discusses the following:
  • Investment tools that can be used to achieve economically equivalent results (e.g., hedging, monetization, and tax deferral) but with disparate tax treatment
  • Opportunities for well-advised investors to capture free "tax alpha"
  • Implications for fiduciaries and professional advisors, and suggested best practices to help mitigate legal duties and risks

This podcast comprises a 45-minute presentation and a 12-minute question-and-answer session.
