AI Concentration Risk, Concierge Medicine, and Avoiding Trust Disputes

This week, we begin with a listener whose $6 million portfolio has drifted from 25% to 42% in large-cap tech following the AI-driven surge. Stephan reframes the issue as portfolio drift rather than a market call, and walks through how to think about concentration risk, disciplined rebalancing, and tax-aware trimming without reacting to headlines.

Next, we examine healthcare planning after financial independence. A couple in their late 40s with $11 million in investable assets is relying on catastrophic coverage while self-paying for routine care and considering a concierge medical practice. We explore whether this structure represents a rational tradeoff, how to stress-test tail risk exposure, and what healthcare decisions look like over a multi-decade retirement.

Finally, Stephan is joined by Ellen Morris, Chair of Fiduciary Litigation at Cozen O’Connor, for a conversation on how trusts and estate plans unravel in practice. They discuss undue influence, capacity concerns, sibling rivalry, and the practical steps families can take to reduce ambiguity and avoid preventable disputes.
