Background: Family desired to make a sizeable gift to a charitable organization. Family asked Legacy Bridge to attend meetings and coordinate terms relating to their gift.
Solution: Legacy Bridge discussed gifting options with development director for charity and formalized a mutually agreeable plan. Legacy Bridge reviewed the proposed gift agreement and discussed the same with legal counsel and accountants for Family.

Background: With over 50% of their entire net worth in one company, the Family desired a more stable and diverse portfolio.
Solution: We advised the family on the various options to diversify their holding. When the family decided on a “block sale” strategy, Legacy Bridge interviewed several Wall Street brokerage firms and negotiated the terms of the sale.
Results:
Update: From the date of diversification through November of 2020, the per share price of the concentrated holding dropped over 78%. Had the Family not diversified, their net worth would have dramatically decreased. Meanwhile, the Family’s new diversified portfolio appreciated in value.
