Stock Compensation and the Management of Concentration Risks and Opportunities

BUS ADM X429.5

54067912
Delivery Options Online

Stock-based compensation is often the most valuable part of a client’s compensation package, especially in the Bay Area. And yet, due to complex plan structures, special tax law exposures, corporate and regulatory restrictions, and the psychological commitments many clients have, optimizing the management of these wealth-building devices is especially difficult. As a result, skilled advisors can help clients navigate this maze to create exceptional professional service opportunities. Learn how to maximize the value of your clients’ stock-based compensation plan, manage concentration risk or pursue concentration opportunities, minimize taxes, and deploy stock-based strategies for charitable giving, family wealth transfer and company succession plans. Gain confidence managing restricted stock units (RSUs), employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs), incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NQSOs), net unrealized appreciation (NUA) and alternative minimum tax (AMT).

Stock Compensation and the Management of Concentration Risks and Opportunities has been approved by CFP Board for 15 hours of Continuing Education Credit.

Prerequisites:

To succeed in this course, it is suggested that students take BUS ADM X433 Survey of Personal Financial Planning and BUS ADM X433.3 Investments in Personal Financial Planning: General Principles and Methods or a semester-long equivalent of each course prior to taking this course.
