Why Savvy Advisors Lead with Tax Strategies

A few days ago, I met with an investor who had just discovered Cache — not through their advisor, but through ChatGPT.

Aaron White, CFP®

Head of Investor Solutions

That wasn’t an isolated case. Over the past six months, I’ve had hundreds of conversations with investors who found Cache through AI searches, a friend’s referral, or one of your competitors. By the time an advisor got involved, the opportunity to lead with a proactive tax strategy had already slipped away.

Savvy advisors know the real differentiator isn’t tools or products. It’s bringing clients strategies they didn’t even know existed. One of the most powerful: helping them diversify without triggering a tax bill.

Few situations create more urgency than concentrated stock positions. The risks are high, the tax bill from selling can be overwhelming, and most clients are unaware of alternatives. Leading with tax-smart strategies not only helps clients preserve more of their wealth, but also builds trust, sparks referrals, and creates powerful prospecting opportunities by demonstrating immediate value.

The Concentration Risk Problem

Concentration risk is everywhere. Senior executives at leading tech and growth companies often have the majority of their wealth tied up in a single stock. At the same time, selling comes with a massive tax hit. For years, due to capacity constraints and qualification limitations, advisors had few options to solve this problem.

Cache changes that. We allow clients to contribute appreciated stock and receive shares in a diversified fund, benchmarked to the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices. Importantly, no immediate taxes are triggered. Capital gains are deferred, giving clients both risk management and tax efficiency.

Proactive and Referable Advice

Clients expect proactive advice. Top advisors introduce new strategies before clients even think to ask. By starting the conversation about exchange funds, you:

  • Strengthen trust with existing clients by showing foresight
  • Differentiate from competitors who haven’t raised the topic
  • Unlock referrals as clients naturally share novel strategies with their peers
"I discovered Cache while researching tax strategies on ChatGPT. I had previously asked my financial advisor about diversification options, but he never mentioned that something like this existed."

Senior Business Planner @ Microsoft

Think of it this way: if your clients are asking ChatGPT, “What isn’t my advisor telling me?” — you want to make sure you’re the one answering first.

Demonstrating Value in Dollars and Sense

The value isn’t just theoretical. Take a $1M concentrated stock position with a $100K cost basis. For a client in a high-tax state, selling could trigger $300K+ in taxes immediately. That’s paying for your advisory fees many times over — a powerful way to demonstrate value.

“Cache has broadened access to a product that has historically been exclusive, expensive, and unable to accept our client assets. It’s a huge addition to our concentrated position playbook.”

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.
