Concentrated asset risk
Concentrated asset risk refers to a situation where a significant portion of an individual's wealth is tied to a single asset or a small number of assets. This concentration poses a higher level of risk because if the value of that asset declines or it suffers a significant setback, it can have a substantial negative impact on the individual's overall financial position. Common examples of concentrated asset risk include holding a large portion of wealth in a single stock, real estate property, or a closely held business. Diversification is key to managing concentrated asset risk as it helps spread the exposure across different asset classes, reducing the potential impact of a single asset's decline. Proper risk assessment, periodic review of investment strategies, and seeking professional advice can assist individuals in managing and mitigating the potential downside associated with concentrated asset risk.
​
Many wealthy investors have concentrated risk exposure, whereby the investor's asset allocation is heavily weighted on a specific geographical location, economic sector, currency or asset class. While these investors have successfully created significant wealth through concentrated investments, it is prudent to manages this exposure. IceBridge Insurance has solutions to help create balance within the asset allocation and protect the estate from significant losses that could impact the financial well-being of future generations.

Key man protection
Many private companies are family owned and are commonly faced with unique Business Continuity challenges including orderly transfer of ownership and identification of key personnel in leadership positions.
​
​Key Person Protection is an integral component of a long term viable business continuity plan. The identification of key individuals whose contribution is of utmost value to the success of the company coupled with a protection product, will provide the company with the financial resources to retain and motivate these key individuals during their lifetime and if necessary replace them in the event of an unexpected demise.
​
Key man protection typically involves purchasing a life insurance policy or disability insurance policy on the key individual, with the company named as the beneficiary. In the event of the key person's death or disability, the insurance payout can help cover financial losses, facilitate business continuity, and provide funds for recruiting and training a replacement, paying off debts, or compensating for lost revenue. Key man protection is particularly relevant for small businesses and startups heavily reliant on key individuals whose absence could have a significant impact on the company's operations and profitability.
