Safe Haven Advisors has developed a unique research capability in support of our single stock risk management services. Within the various strategies we cover, we are enthusiastic "collectors" of risk management solutions. Whether it is a new type of Exchange Fund or a particularly good template for a VPF Contract or a Charitable Remainder Trust, we want to know about it. We also want to figure out how to make it better for our clients.

In support of our proprietary SERT Contract product, our research considers three areas: 

  • the long term negative outlook for individual stocks and industries; 

  • the implications for future stock pricing of data to be observed in today's option markets; and

  • portfolio management  strategies targeted to specified contingent outcomes.

Our initial research publication is a practical guide for concentrated shareholders and their professional advisors. Updated at the time it is issued, the  "Single Stock Strategies Report" provides current information on risk management for a concentrated shareholder in a given company. 

The report is designed to help financial advisors to sort out what strategy or strategies a concentrated client should consider. Each report lays out a full set of reasonable alternatives for a particular stock holding, time horizon and risk profile. These alternatives can then be reviewed with the prospective client and other advisors. 

If you are interested in reviewing a report for a particular stock, please fill out our brief request form. Once you have reviewed the report, if you or your client have questions for me, start with an email, and I will follow up with you as soon as possible.
