Executive Compensation Advisory

Equity compensation can lead to tremendous wealth accumulation. But the demands of leading a company leave little time to tend to personal finances and think strategically about how best to optimize grants and awards for you and your family. At the Private Bank, we have a dedicated team of specialists ready to tailor a plan designed around your unique compensation structure. After all, the world is changing quickly and corporate executive planning needs can be drastically affected by forfeiture risks, emerging compensation practices, and changing tax and regulatory landscapes.

Am I being compensated appropriately? How do I meet my liquidity needs when most of my wealth is in my company’s stock? How can I minimize or at least prepare for the tax on my equity awards? With company constraints and SEC regulations, what should I do to manage my concentrated position? As a corporate executive, you’ve likely sought the answers to these questions, which are crucial to achieving your long-term wealth goals. Our specialists can help.

It’s our intention to advise throughout your executive journey with a team designed to complement your other professional advisors to ensure full alignment with your goals.
