The goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate risk or discourage investing in your employer. Rather, we propose using guardrails instead of gut feelings to objectively manage concentration. 📌 RESOURCES Take our 3-minute Equity Comp Quiz & get your free strategy assessment: https://tally.so/r/np92p8 Download our free Equity Comp Guide by signing up for our newsletter: https://www.abundancewm.com/contact DISCLAIMER The discussions contained in and referred to in this podcast are provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.
