Financial risk management solutions may include:

  • Options. These can be used as a strategy for generating income or to help protect against downside risk, although it may limit your upside potential.
  • Collars. Collars provide temporary price protection from a large downward move on a stock. If you are willing to give up some upside potential in order to minimize downside risk, an equity collar may be an appropriate and cost-effective tool.
  • Prepaid Forward Contracts. These can be used to monetize a concentrated stock position without selling the stock, and as a potential way to defer taxes. Prepaid forwards may also help to protect against downside risk while retaining a portion of upside potential and generating cash for investing.
