Retirement Planning
Expert Guidance on Your Company Stock
While you’re committed to your work, we’re committed to your wealth.
Take a moment and consider the wealth you have from your 401k, pension and company stock. Then consider your primary provider of your income, health insurance and other benefits. Are you relying on one company for all of or the majority of your personal financial safety? If so, you may be violating the golden rule of financial safety: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
If you think you’re the exception to the rule… that your company and situation are surely different, you should certainly read on. Others may argue such a focused investment strategy is fine so long as you watch that basket. Whether you believe that or not may be a moot point, as a quick divesture when needed most may be too difficult or too late.
