One of the biggest challenges financial advisors face with clients who have employee stock compensation is getting across to them the risks of having too much net worth in their company’s stock. The client may be very loyal to their company’s stock and/or have unrealistic expectations about its future performance. Advisors must persuasively explain overconcentration risk and craft strategies to diversify, create liquidity, and protect the stock in a tax-efficient way.
myStockOptions.com, the leader in online educational resources for stock compensation, is holding a webinar for advisors that offers crucial guidance on managing concentrated positions in company stock. Registration is now open for this lively, insightful event:
