From Tesla Rollercoaster to Portfolio Balance: How Cache Transformed One Investor's Wealth Strategy

Srikanth Narayan

Founder and CEO

What you'll learn

After years at a high-growth tech company, David Zhnag, a Tesla executive, found himself with a concentrated Tesla position and a growing sense of financial vulnerability. He knew diversification was necessary, but the path to get there wasn’t clear. When he discovered exchange funds, he thought he had found the solution, as they would enable him to diversify without incurring an immediate tax bill, keeping his investment working for him. However, when he approached traditional funds, he wasn’t able to gain access to them, due to the fact that there was no current availability for Tesla stock.

The individual was not compensated for this testimonial and this is not a paid testimonial.

The Solution: Cache’s Direct, Transparent Approach

Zhang described the unease that he and many tech execs feel, saying, “The large amount of your personal wealth tied up in one or two positions is always this up-and-down rollercoaster feel.”

He knew he needed to diversify. But accessing a traditional exchange fund came with layers of friction. He wasn’t pleased with the legacy funds he researched. Then he found Cache.

With Cache, Zhang bypassed the gatekeeping and confusion that had stalled his diversification strategy for years.

“Cache was much more direct, straightforward, very clear how it all worked together, and very upfront with fees,” explained Zhang.

With frequent closing dates, a clear dashboard, and the ability to engage without an intermediary, Cache provided him with the tools to move forward on his own terms, offering the transparency he was seeking.

The Results: Confidence Through Tax-Efficient Diversification

Using Cache, Zhang implemented a disciplined, long-term approach to diversification, without trying to time the market.

“Doing it in a tax-efficient way almost feels like you're already 30% ahead.” He was able to keep what he would have had to pay in taxes in the market, which continues to grow.

Addressing a Common Investment Challenge

Many accredited investors face this common challenge: excessive wealth tied up in a single stock, combined with limited access to institutional diversification strategies.

David Zhang found that because of the low accessibility of traditional exchange funds, many investors don’t even know they are an option. “Awareness is relatively low,” he explained.

Cache is democratizing a proven wealth preservation tool. We make it accessible, transparent,
and built for modern investors.

Sharpe Ratio Net Performance Fund
Inception to End of Year 2024

Detailed Info

More detailed information

The Sharpe ratio evaluates risk-adjusted performance by dividing a portfolio's excess returns over the risk-free rate by its volatility. However, its effectiveness is influenced by the selected time period, as different intervals can yield varying volatility estimates, potentially leading to inconsistent assessments of risk-adjusted return

Sharpe ratio was determined by calculating the monthly returns for the exchange funds and for the NASDAQ 100 Index and applying the formula: (annualized monthly returns - risk-free rate) / (monthly volatility annualized).   A 3-month U.S. Treasury was used for the risk-free rate.
