Borrow


If you are seeking liquidity against concentrated or illiquid assets, J.P. Morgan Private Bank can provide creative financing strategies.


This approach allows to leverage a concentrated stake or portfolio of assets. It also gives you flexibility on extended liquidity and allows you to maintain a bullish view.

      

Hedge


Apply a wide range of potential structures to protect the value of your investment against price volatility.
 

Hedging allows you to retain the stock position and your ownership, while limiting your risk.  Certain structures can allow you to specify the amount of risk you’re willing to take and can be a useful part of an overall strategy to manage your concentrated wealth.

Monetize


Use the right tools to generate liquidity upfront while also optimizing your risk exposure.


When your concentrated position allows, a block trade can be a fast and efficient way to realize your wealth. In cases where you may be unable or unwilling to sell the shares outright, a hedging and borrowing strategy can also help create liquidity.

Give


Gift to loved ones or to charitable endeavors
 

We can help you to utilize gifting and charitable strategies to support people and causes you care about while navigating complex tax issues that can arise with a concentrated position.
