Frazier Allen: Looking After Your Modern Legacy
May 8, 2016
What you pass on can include digital assets and hard-earned wisdom.
Clarksville, TN – For too many, legacy planning focuses solely on the transfer of money and legal documentation, which generally fall under the estate planning umbrella. While all of that is very important, there should be a more personal aspect to the process. After all, we’re talking about your life and how you’ll be remembered.
Your stories, traditions, beliefs and values need not be taken to the grave. These things make you who you are and should be shared with your children and grandchildren. In the past, loved ones might have inherited a shoebox full of letters and photos that helped tell the story of a life well lived.

Frazier Allen: Concentrated Positions Can Pose Portfolio Risk
May 4, 2016
Clarksville, TN – It is important for investors to understand that the very asset that helped create significant wealth may also pose the biggest risk to their future financial security. A concentrated equity position is defined as a substantial portion of an investor’s wealth (10% – 15%, or more in some cases) tied in one stock.
These highly concentrated positions can result from employer stock and option incentives, long-term employment at a single company, a large inheritance, etc.
Holding a large, single-stock position creates significant risk and increases portfolio volatility, which can have a catastrophic effect to an investor’s future financial security.
Concentrated positions may create wealth but they may not protect it.
