Coast Stock

Coast is currently a private company. This means that the company is not listed on any public exchange and so there is no public market for its stock. However, there may still be ways to monetize Coast stock. Depending on Coast’s policies, you may be able to: (1) find a private buyer in the secondary market to purchase your stock, (2) borrow against your stock, or (3) exchange Coast stock into the Collective Exchange Fund for a limited partnership interest and then borrow non-recourse against your interest to generate immediate cash. This last alternative can be much quicker and net you more after-tax cash than your other options. An exchange into our fund also reduces your risk by diversifying your holdings out of an over-concentrated position.

Tickers are used to identify company’s shares on public markets like the NYSE or Nasdaq. Because Coast is not currently publicly traded, it does not have a ticker symbol.

Coast has not yet conducted an initial public offering (“IPO”) and so remains a private company. Though Coast is a well-known, successful company, there can be no assurance that it will ever go public or be sold. Because of the risk this imposes on Coast shareholders, many investors elect to gain liquidity for at least some of their shares before the IPO.
