Our Approach
An Integrated Approach

We have extensive experience helping executives integrate their equity and other compensation—including nonqualified deferred compensation plans, pension plans, and health savings and flexible spending accounts—into an overall wealth management strategy.

Executives of publicly traded corporations often receive a substantial portion of their compensation in the form of options on company stock and restricted securities. They must make difficult decisions about when and how to monetize these awards and how to handle the resulting concentrated positions. We can draw on our own experience with the issues surrounding option exercise and restrictions on insider stock sales, together with the expansive resources of Merrill, to assist clients with:

  • Determining a value for their equity awards and understanding how their total compensation program fits into their current and long-term financial picture
  • Designing a strategy to help manage their equity awards and decide when to monetize their options
  • Incorporating the resulting assets into investment portfolios reflecting their goals, risk tolerance, time horizon and liquidity needs
