Prepared case · fictional household

Jordan

California, filing jointly

Jordan's household holds $4 million across two listed companies and a cash reserve. Half of it is one stock, bought years ago at a fifth of today's price. A second position sits in a joint account with a co-owner who hasn't decided anything yet. Jordan has committed $150,000 to charity this year, with the charities chosen over the next 3 years, and wants no single company to be more than 15% of the pool.

What they hold
Company A shares$2,000,000 · Jordan

Bought in 2020 at a $400,000 basis. Half the pool.

Company C shares$1,500,000 · Joint, with an undecided co-owner

Basis $900,000. Carried unchanged until the co-owner decides.

Cash reserve$500,000 · Jordan

Kept whole in every option.

Client priorities & constraints

What they want

  • No single company above 15% of the pool.
  • $150,000 to public charities, chosen over 3 years.
  • The $500,000 reserve left alone.
  • A plan that stays simple. Jordan's tolerance for complexity is low.

The limits they set

  • Moderate risk tolerance.
  • The joint position can't move until the co-owner decides.
  • No borrowing against the positions.

Do nothing

The reference the other options are measured against.

The reference every other option is measured against.

What it does

Keeps everything where it is. Pays no tax now, makes no gift.

What it trades off

Leaves 87.5% of the pool in two companies against a 15% ceiling, and the promised gift unmade.

Engine label: Hold every position and make no gift

Every option is conditional. A licensed professional reviews and approves the one the client chooses before anything moves. Illustrative figures are not client results or advice.
