In this episode of The Big Question, Brook Hart of Presilium Private Wealth explores a question that sits at the heart of every financial plan: How do you define risk?

Many investors think of risk as market volatility, but that's only one piece of the picture. Through a real client story, Brook explains why risk is personal and why defining it too narrowly can lead to unintended consequences. From concentration risk and behavioral risk to inflation and longevity risk, understanding the different types of risk is essential to building a retirement strategy that supports your long-term goals.

In this episode:

• Why defining risk is more important than simply trying to avoid it.

• How a real client conversation changed Brook's perspective on investment risk.

• The dangers of concentration risk and relying too heavily on a single investment.

• Why holding excessive cash may introduce inflation and purchasing power risk.

• Understanding behavioral risk and how emotions can affect investment decisions.

• What longevity risk is and why it matters for retirement planning.

• How a diversified strategy can help balance short-term market volatility with long-term financial goals.

• Why maintaining several years of planned spending in more conservative investments may help reduce emotional decision-making during market declines.

• The importance of preserving and growing purchasing power throughout retirement.

• Why successful investing starts with understanding which risks matter most to your personal financial plan.

Risk is an unavoidable part of investing, but understanding it can lead to more informed decisions and greater confidence over time. Listen now to learn why asking "How do I define risk?" may be one of the most important questions in financial planning.

Stock market declines can be frightening, but selling during a market downturn or avoiding stocks entirely can cost you significantly over time. In this episode of Financial Planning Friday, Jerry Davidse, CFP®, breaks down what historical S&P 500 performance reveals about staying invested through volatility and how strategic financial planning can protect your long-term wealth.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• What the S&P 500’s long-term performance since 1950 reveals about market declines and growth

• How a hypothetical $1,000 investment with reinvested dividends grew over the decades

• Why avoiding stocks or selling during downturns can affect long-term financial goals

• How market volatility can influence retirement planning, family support, and charitable giving

• Why keeping near-term spending needs in more stable investments can help avoid selling stocks during declines

• How portfolio rebalancing may create opportunities to add to stocks when prices fall

• Why preparing for market declines in advance can help investors stay disciplined through uncertainty

Market declines have been a recurring part of stock investing, but reacting emotionally can make it harder to pursue long-term goals. Presilium helps clients build financial plans and diversified investment strategies designed to account for volatility, manage near-term cash needs, and maintain a long-term perspective.

Looking to make your charitable giving more effective while optimizing your overall financial strategy? Charitable giving can be a powerful component of a long-term financial plan, but the specific strategy you choose can have significant tax and investment implications. In this episode of Financial Planning Insights, host Jerry Davidse breaks down key charitable giving strategies that families may consider, including donor-advised funds (DAFs), donating appreciated securities, and utilizing qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) to support causes that matter most.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• How charitable giving strategies can be coordinated with investment, tax, and estate planning

• What a donor-advised fund (DAF) is and how it may help support charitable giving over time

• How donor-advised funds can help families bunch charitable deductions into higher-income tax years

• Why donating appreciated stock or securities may offer potential tax advantages compared to cash donations

• How gifting appreciated assets could help investors avoid realizing certain capital gains taxes

• How charitable contributions may potentially support portfolio rebalancing and diversification goals

• What a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is and who may be eligible to utilize one

• How QCDs can interact with required minimum distributions (RMDs) from eligible IRAs

• Why the most appropriate charitable giving approach depends on an individual’s unique financial circumstances

• How families can incorporate children and future generations into philanthropic decision-making

• Why coordinating tax-smart charitable strategies with qualified financial professionals can be essential

Effective charitable planning is about more than simply deciding how much to give. Presilium Private Wealth helps clients evaluate tax-efficient charitable giving strategies alongside their broader investment, tax, and estate plans so they can make informed decisions tailored to their personal goals.

In this episode of Practical Cents, Cullen Martin, CFP®, discusses the shifting cycles between U.S. and international stock market performance. After a decade-plus of U.S. equity dominance, international stocks showed strong relative performance through mid-2026. Is it time to adjust your portfolio allocation?

Chasing recent performance can lead to costly investment mistakes. Historically, U.S. and international stocks cycle through periods of outperformance. We explore why maintaining a globally diversified portfolio and a disciplined rebalancing strategy are key to long-term wealth management and risk mitigation.

Cullen explains why Presilium believes in maintaining exposure to both U.S. and international stocks, how market cycles influence portfolio performance, and why rebalancing can help investors stay aligned with their long-term financial plan.

What you'll learn

• Why international stocks have recently outperformed U.S. stocks

• How U.S. and international markets have experienced different periods of outperformance

• Why predicting which market will perform best next is difficult

• How global diversification can help manage portfolio concentration risk

• Why portfolio rebalancing involves selling investments that have performed well and buying those that have lagged

• How a disciplined investment strategy can help keep your portfolio aligned with your long-term goals

At Presilium Private Wealth, diversification and disciplined rebalancing are important components of our investment philosophy. By maintaining a long-term perspective and evaluating portfolio allocations within the context of each client's financial plan, we help clients navigate changing market conditions without relying on predictions about which market will lead next.

Market declines are a normal part of investing, but understanding how a significant market drop could impact your portfolio is key to long-term financial planning. In this episode of Financial Planning Fridays, Jerry Davidse, CFP®, explains how Presilium’s stress test report helps investors evaluate portfolio resilience during periods of market volatility by analyzing performance across six major market downturns from the past 50 years.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• How a stress test report evaluates portfolio resilience during major market declines

• What a significant market decline could mean for a large investment portfolio

• How a diversified portfolio (70% stocks / 30% bonds) historically compared with the S&P 500

• Why understanding potential portfolio downside can help investors prepare emotionally and financially

• How a cash and bond cushion can help support cash flow during periods of market weakness

• How strategic rebalancing during market downturns fits into a disciplined investment strategy

• Why stress testing is designed for preparation and risk management, not prediction

• How a comprehensive financial plan can help keep long-term goals on track through market volatility

While market volatility cannot be eliminated, proper risk management and financial planning can help you navigate uncertain times with confidence. Presilium Private Wealth helps clients evaluate potential portfolio risk and align investment strategies with their long-term financial goals.

Are hidden business risks quietly eroding your enterprise value? While every business owner takes calculated risks when hiring, investing, or expanding, unmanaged exposures can significantly impact your exit strategy and succession planning. In this episode of Building Value, Brook Hart explores how understanding and managing business risk can help protect business growth and build a more transferable, durable organization.

Buyers rarely expect a completely risk-free company. Instead, they look for a clear understanding of potential operational vulnerabilities and confidence that leadership is actively addressing them. Depending on your situation, proactively identifying key dependencies (such as customer concentration or undocumented processes) can help preserve long-term value.

In this video, you'll learn:

• How unmanaged business risk may affect overall enterprise value

• Why customer concentration and key employee reliance can create hidden exposure

• How prospective buyers may evaluate risks differently than current owners

• Ways uncertainty can influence the perceived stability of future cash flows

• How risk management plays a key role in succession planning and business growth

Building business value isn't about eliminating every possible risk. It involves evaluating where your company may be vulnerable and considering proactive steps to manage those areas. Specific outcomes depend on individual circumstances, and business owners should consult with qualified advisors when planning their exit strategy.
