The Complexity of Executive Compensation
Executives often face financial situations that are more intricate than most individuals. Compensation packages can include multiple forms of equity, layered tax implications, vesting schedules, incentive plans, and performance criteria.
These elements create opportunity, but they also introduce challenges such as:
- High income tax exposure
- Significant year to year income variability
- Concentrated stock risk
- Complex vesting and performance schedules
- Timing decisions that impact both taxes and long-term wealth
- Navigating trading windows or restrictions
- Aligning compensation with lifestyle, retirement, and family goals
