Built for investors with something at stake.

Tether is designed for specific investor profiles. See if you fit.

The Long-Tenured Tech Employee

You have spent 10 to 15 years at Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Nvidia, Meta, or Adobe accumulating company stock through RSUs, ESPPs, or stock options. The position has grown significantly. You know the concentration is a risk. You have not acted because selling means taxes.

  • Significant company stock holdings
  • Low cost basis relative to current value
  • Concerned about concentration risk
  • Seeking tax-efficient diversification

The Concentrated Portfolio Holder

Your portfolio has compounded well over the past decade. A few positions now dominate your net worth. Rebalancing or improving diversification would mean paying capital gains taxes you would rather not trigger today.

  • Portfolio dominated by 1-3 positions
  • Significant embedded gains
  • Desire for diversification
  • Tax-conscious approach to rebalancing

The Financial Advisor

You serve high-net-worth clients with concentrated positions. You have been looking for a differentiated, advisory-backed solution for clients who are stuck between concentration risk and tax consequences.

  • Serve HNW clients
  • Looking for new solutions
  • Want to offer tax-efficient strategies
  • Seeking fiduciary-aligned partners

What Tether is not for

Small, unrealized gains

If your embedded gain is modest (under 200,000 dollars) or your position is already reasonably diversified, a 351 conversion may not make sense. The complexity and cost may not justify the benefit.

Investors who need liquidity now

A 351 conversion is designed for investors who want to remain invested. If you need to access the capital in the near term, this strategy is not appropriate.

Self-directed traders

Tether is advisory-led. You will work with a fiduciary advisor. If you prefer complete autonomy and do not want advisory guidance, this is not the right fit.

Positions in tax-advantaged accounts

If your concentrated position is held in a 401(k), IRA, or other tax-advantaged account, a 351 conversion does not apply. These accounts already have tax deferral built in.
