THE MARKET SMOOTHED INTO ONE PLAN INVESTMENT & RISK
More than a portfolio

Investment management built around your concentrated stock.

For families with much of their net worth in a single company's stock, the real risk is concentration, not the market. We manage it with your taxes in view, not in isolation.

Get started

At a glance

  • A fiduciary, individually built portfolio
  • Concentrated stock and RSU risk managed
  • Coordinated with your tax plan

Investing is one of seven areas the Age Five Family Office coordinates for your family. Every major investment decision is documented in your FamilyKnowledge® Library, so the thinking behind it is there when your children are old enough to read it.

The difference
We build your portfolio around your whole balance sheet.

The difference is not the funds. It is whether your company stock, your taxes, and your risk are managed as one picture.

Most families

  • Buy a model portfolio off a risk score
  • Leave company stock concentrated
  • Rebalance without the tax bill in view
  • Manage investments apart from taxes
  • Nothing written down for next year, or for your kids

Age Five

  • Build one portfolio across every account
  • Hedge and diversify concentrated stock on a plan
  • One team holds investments, tax, and estate together
  • Every trade weighed for its tax impact first
  • Every major decision documented in your FamilyKnowledge® Library
What we handle
The full scope of your investment and risk management.
✓

Concentrated stock hedging and diversification

Company stock reduced and hedged on a schedule built around your tax brackets.

✓

Individually constructed portfolio

One portfolio built across every account, not a model dropped on top of you.

✓

Tax-efficient asset location

The right assets in the right accounts, so more of the return is yours after tax.

✓

Direct indexing and tax-loss harvesting

Losses harvested and gains timed with your full tax picture in view.

✓

Insurance and asset protection review

Life, disability, and liability coverage checked against what your family actually needs.

✓

529 and education funding

Education funding planned alongside the rest of your balance sheet.

How it works
Three steps every year.
1

Map

We map your accounts, your company stock, and the risk you are actually carrying.

2

Build

We construct one portfolio across every account, around your taxes and your goals.

3

Manage

We rebalance, hedge, and harvest as markets and your life change, and document it.
