Welcome to episode 67 of the One for the Money podcast. I am so very grateful you have taken the time to listen. This is part 1 of a 2-part series on novel investment strategies. In this episode, I'll go over what is sometimes referred to as the borrow, spend, die strategy.In this episode...SBLOC Defined -[1:45]SBLOC in Practice -[4:58]Stock Options - Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) -[6:30]Most people are familiar with the notion of buying and selling investments. The goal when buying an investment is that it increases in value and then you sell the investment to enjoy the proceeds. But there is a strategy where you can spend without ever having to sell. This is much less complicated than it may sound when one realizes it's not all that different from a home equity line of credit, or HELOC, for short. With a HELOC the homeowner will borrow money against their appreciated property and aren't required to sell their home to do so. There is a similar option with stock market investments and it is called a security-based line of credit, or SBLOC for short. Here is how they work.An SBLOC (Securities-Based Line of Credit) is a special type of loan where you use your non-retirement investments as collateral. Just how can you use some of this newfound wealth without triggering a huge tax bill and not missing out on potential future gains? Why an SBLOC of course. These allow you to borrow against these shares using your stock as collateral.In fact this is the exact same strategy that many uber wealthy utilize to access the wealth formed in the publicly traded companies that they founded. The strategy is sometimes called the borrow, spend, die strategy. They borrow from their massive wealth, spend the proceeds and when they die some of their shares are sold to pay off the loans. Often this can lead to massive tax savings as when they die, there could be a step up in the basis at death and the taxes could be severely limited.Tips Tricks and Strategies RSUs (short for Restricted Stock Units) are a type of compensation given to employees by a company. They represent company shares that an employee will receive in the future. However, there are certain conditions, such as working for the company for a certain period of time or achieving specific performance goals, which must be met before the employee actually receives the sharesOnce your shares are granted and taxes paid, there is no taxable benefit to staying invested in those shares. For many investors, it may make more sense to sell all of the shares and diversify their investments or use the proceeds to pay of higher interest debt.ReferencesSecurity Based Line of CreditBorrow, Spend and Die StrategyRestricted Stock UnitsConnect with Jonny Westhttps://BetterPlanningBetterLife.com Connect with Jonny on LinkedInSubscribe to ONE FOR THE MONEY on Apple...

We dive into the world of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in this episode, focusing on their role in equity compensation for tech professionals. RSUs are a form of stock option that grants ownership in a company's stock once vested, according to a predetermined schedule. This vesting schedule is crucial for employees to understand as it impacts their overall financial planning, including tax implications. RSUs are taxed as ordinary income upon vesting, similar to a paycheck, necessitating careful tax planning to manage potential liabilities.Amy highlights the importance of being forward-looking in financial planning, contrasting with the backward-looking nature of tax preparation by CPAs. She advises setting aside a portion of RSUs or their proceeds to cover taxes, ensuring no surprises come tax time. Employers typically withhold a portion of the vested shares to cover federal taxes, with the remaining shares transferred to the employee's brokerage account, which can then be liquidated or managed according to the employee's financial strategy.Success stories, like that of "Sarah," illustrate how effectively managing RSUs can significantly contribute to wealth building and achieving financial independence. By strategically selling vested shares to diversify investments, tech professionals can leverage RSUs as a cornerstone of their financial planning. However, it's crucial to avoid common misconceptions and pitfalls, such as the belief that holding RSU-derived shares for over a year qualifies them for preferential capital gains tax rates. In reality, RSUs are taxed as income upon vesting, and any decision to hold shares longer is akin to purchasing employer stock directly, with all associated risks.Understanding RSUs' role in compensation and wealth building, while navigating their tax implications and avoiding common pitfalls, is essential for tech professionals looking to maximize their financial potential. Engaging with a financial professional can provide valuable guidance in managing RSUs effectively as part of a broader financial strategy.

Not all compensation takes the form of a cash salary or bonus. Today, many startups and most of the companies on the Fortune 500 list allow their employees to take ownership in the company through stock awards, employee stock purchase plans, stock options, or some other form of equity compensation. Despite this boom of employee ownership offerings, employee education and familiarity around these offerings appears to be falling behind.On this episode of Financial Decoder, host Mark Riepe is joined by Stacie Sands, a director on Schwab's Stock Plan Services team and a Certified Equity Professional.

This week we're covering the basics of restricted stock units including the disposition of stock acquired through restricted stock units and basis issues.

In this episode of Thimbleberry U, Jag and Amy Walls from Thimbleberry Financial discuss the unique financial challenges faced by tech professionals, particularly focusing on equity compensation. The episode is the first in a six-part series dedicated to addressing the financial needs of tech professionals.Amy highlights three major challenges tech professionals face regarding equity compensation: time, knowledge, and access to accurate and up-to-date resources. She emphasizes that tech professionals often lead demanding lives, balancing intense work schedules with personal commitments, which leaves little time to manage personal finances effectively. This is particularly relevant in the context of 2023, which saw significant layoffs and increased work demands in the tech industry.The conversation then shifts to the importance of knowledge in managing equity compensation. Amy uses an analogy of baking, comparing the complexities of equity compensation to the intricacies of baking a complex recipe. She points out that while some aspects of equity compensation might be straightforward, integrating multiple elements such as various forms of equity compensation, taxation, and investment options can be challenging.The third challenge discussed is the need for accurate and up-to-date resources. Amy notes that tech professionals, being problem solvers, often rely on internet research or advice from colleagues, which may not always be reliable or applicable to their specific situation. She stresses the importance of seeking professional financial advice to navigate these complexities.Amy suggests that while there are tools available to manage equity compensation, simplicity is key. She recommends basic tools like Excel spreadsheets and calendar apps, combined with discipline and familiarity with employer-provided documents, to effectively manage equity compensation.Tech professionals should seek out financial advisors who specialize in equity compensation. She emphasizes the importance of professional advice in navigating the complexities of equity compensation and achieving financial goals.  To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

The specifics of executive compensation packages have major implications for personal wealth building over the long term. In this episode of Off the Wall, guest co-host Emily Harper, CFP® and co-host David B. Armstrong, CFA are joined by Laura Balser, Senior Client Partner, Executive Pay and Compensation at Korn Ferry.  Laura has over 20 years of experience consulting with publicly traded, privately held and not-for-profit organizations on executive reward and benefit programs across industries, including health care, distribution, manufacturing, biotechnology, and professional services.  During the conversation, Laura unpacks the current trends in executive compensation based on Korn Ferry's analysis of CEO pay at the top 300 publicly traded companies (by revenue), looking at how the pandemic drove changes in compensation across different industries. She underscores the continued emphasis on variable pay as shareholders demand performance-driven compensation, and how this creates challenges for retaining talent and satisfying shareholders.   Tune in for tips around negotiating executive compensation like seeking advice, anticipating counteroffers, and understanding the tax impact when exercising stock options. Laura also sheds light on emerging, innovative pay structures such as equity signing bonuses and mega grants and discusses the differences between Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units.  "For the first time in probably 12 years, we're seeing more material declines than we've seen in the past. If stock options have been awarded, then they're likely underwater. And if the options don't appreciate enough to warrant exercising them...the individual has lost the ability for wealth creation.

This week we're covering restricted stock units, or RSUs, and some of the basics of this type of stock.

This time Amy discusses what you need to know about taxation of RSUs (Restricted Stock Units). Restricted Stock Units are a way a company can compensate an Employee that isn't cash and ties that employee's future income (from the RSUs) to company performance and longevity with the company. It's a future form of stock. Kind of like an IOU – but with a commitment to how the shares will be given by the employer and received by the employee. However there tends to be a catch with these types of things and Amy will give you the facts needed to make the right decisions. If you have questions about anything related to your financial future, reach out to Amy Walls and the team at Thimbleberry Financial at 503-610-6510 or contact them at thimbleberryfinancial.com

On this episode, Karl Eggerss welcomes Noel Strickling, a CAPTRUST Dallas based advisor. Many are confused when it comes to the topic of Restricted Stock Units (RSU). How do they work and what are the most common mistakes employees make in regards to RSUs.  

If you are a person who is paid in restricted stock units each year, it's important that you develop a plan for how and when you will convert those shares into actual dollars well before they actually vest.

On this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, Interest rates have been rising which has some investors concerned that higher borrowing costs may hamper the pace of economic growth. However, the shape of the yield curve (longer-term interest rates rising faster than shorter-term interest rates) continues to signal strong economic growth in the future. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve Recession Indicator, which uses the yield curve to estimate the future pace of economic growth and the risk of a recession in the future, is currently signaling a less than 5% chance of a recession within the next year. Also, The supply and demand for housing now seem to be in equilibrium, meaning the market is currently not oversupplied or undersupplied. This will likely lead to a cooling in housing prices as the homebuilder industry is able to meet the demand for new housing units. In addition, it is unlikely to lead to a sharp decline in housing prices as demand will likely remain strong enough to absorb the new supply. And, Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are a form of employee compensation that often creates some confusion around tax reporting. RSUs are not taxable when granted but rather trigger taxation when they vest. In addition, many employees sell a portion of the shares granted at vesting to cover the required tax withholding. These sales trigger a tax reporting obligation that needs to be reflected on the employee's tax return. Therefore, it is important to track these transactions and make sure they are properly reported. Plus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board- The IRS recently announced that it mailed incorrect statements to some taxpayers who claimed the advanced child tax credit in 2021. The IRS has not stated how many of the 36 million families that received advanced payments have been mailed incorrect statements so it is unknown whether this issue will be widespread or limited to a smaller subgroup. Tax season has technically opened as the IRS is now accepting e-filed tax returns. However, several federal and state tax forms have not yet been finalized. Therefore, not everyone will be able to file their tax returns early depending on which forms are Chase Armer's book- Financial Planning Insights is now available at: store.bookbaby.com/book/financial-…anning-insights www.amazon.com/Financial-Plannin…1586894022&sr=8-1 To subscribe to the Personal Finance Review (the written form of all the content we discuss on the podcast) please e-mail Katie@PlannedSolutions.com The Personal Finance Review is published and distributed on a biweekly basis by Planned Solutions, Inc. for informational purposes only.

On this episode of the Equity Compensation Guidebook we're going to talk about one of the most important components of equity compensation. Actually, it's one of the most important parts of any successful investing strategy. Taxes! And what better time to talk about taxes than the season opener for the 2021 filing year! If you know me, you know I have a mantra when it comes to investments and taxes... It's not what you make. It's what you keep. If you end up losing a good portion of your investment returns to taxes every year, you lose the effectiveness of compounding over time. While we do not have complete control over taxes, there are things we can do.  I'm going to start with some of the basics but we're going to stay relatively high level when it comes to the main components of equity compensation. Non-qualified stock options, usually called NSOs or sometimes just stock options. Restricted Stock Units, referred to as RSUs, and then finally Restricted Stock, which sometimes go by Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Grants. These are the big types of equity compensation and what we will cover today! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

ISOs, NSOs, RSUs, and ESPPs all together.In this episode, Trishul and Aaron discuss alternative forms of employee equity compensation. In addition to ISOs, there are NSOs, RSUs, and ESPPs, and each one comes with different tax implications. Your employer can grant access you any combination of these plans. So then, how do you decide when to exercise and when to sell? You can choose to hold on to everything for the upside. Or you can sell everything as soon as possible to lock in your benefits. But most people end up somewhere in the middle, and that's where things get complicated.Episode ReferencesMMS #99. ISO University: Congrats, you're hired!

Today's episode is one of several that I will be doing that focuses on retirement with equity compensation. In my opinion, there is too much to cover in one episode, especially considering my episodes are short. You know, GenX, lack of attention span and all that. Honestly, it's just that I want to break these out because some topics may apply to just a few people and some will apply to more of you. I know there are others but we will stick with non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plans for these episodes. Most of you will have some combination of these types of equity compensation. One last thing, these may become a bit repetitive if you listen to each and every one. There are key items that I'll mention in every episode because I expect listeners will pick and choose which episodes to listen to and I want to be sure to cover the critical terms in each episode so they don't get missed.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

In today's episode, I'm going to spend a little time comparing restricted stock and restricted stock units. I know I've talked about them separately. However, I thought it was important to spend a few minutes discussing them in one episode. This isn't really a compare and contrast like we had to do a million years ago in grade school and high school. However, I want to be sure to hit the highlights for both. Both good and bad items.  Before we start just a little bit of housekeeping as always. When I say restricted stock, I'm referring to restricted stock awards, or sometimes they're referred to as restricted stock grants, just to keep things simple, I'm going to call them restricted stock. Also, restricted stock units don't have any other names they're known by except for their abbreviation of RSUs. I'll most likely refer to restricted stock units as RSUs. Let's now get to it.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... A little housekeeping before we start [0:53] What are restricted stock and restricted stock units?

This POD is a highly requested episode from our clients: understanding the equity package that tech companies and startups offer nowadays as part of an employee's compensation.  There are different types of equity - some of the most common ones are RSU (restricted stock units), NQSO (non-qualified stock options), and ISO (incentive stock options).  How should one decide what package to choose if the company offers multiple combos?  Tim pointed out that it really depends on whether the company is publicly traded or privately owned.  There are so many things to consider: what your spending vs. your cash flow looks like, do you need to live off the equity in the short term, do you need to bring cash to exercise the equity, and what are the tax consequences for each option…? Another “option craze” perspective is that younger generations switch jobs more frequently than their parents.  That means you are building your own little investment portfolio with all the tech/startups' stocks/options/units.  As Tim said, a long-term mindset is especially important if you want to take full advantage of these packages.

For example, if you work at companies like Apple, Intel Corporation, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Walmart, Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, etc, they tend to compensate their employees by offering them RSUs as a bonus. I created a comprehensive educational video on this very topic to help people better understand their RSUs and strategies to consider when dealing with RSUs. I hope you find this helpful and please reach out to me if you have any questions.

In this podcast episode, I share three things you need to do when anticipating a windfall from equity compensation. 1) What type of equity do you own? Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or a combination? 2) What is the vesting schedule of your equity comp? How much is currently vested vs. unvested? What are the exercise prices and expiration dates on any options? What is the blackout period for trading, and can you exercise unvested options to try to optimize for long-term capital gain treatment? 3) What's your long-term vision for creating your ideal life? How do you want to use the windfall to maximize happiness and fulfillment? Is financial independence important to you?

Restricted Stock Units, or RSU's, are a unique benefit of working at publicly traded companies and can vary, employer to employer, based on their vesting schedule.

They explain how Restricted Stock Units can work like a bonus paid by stock instead of cash. They go in-depth on vesting schedules and the difference between publicly traded companies and private (pre-IPO) companies. They then compare RSUs to options to help you understand the risks and taxes associated with each.

A restricted stock unit is a form of compensation issued by an employer to an employee in the form of company shares. Restricted stock units, or RSUs, are issued to an employee through a vesting plan and distribution schedule after achieving required performance milestones OR upon remaining with their employer for a particular length of time.RSUs give an employee interest in company stock but they have no tangible value until vesting is complete. The restricted stock units are assigned a fair market value when they vest. Upon vesting, they are considered income, and a portion of the shares is withheld to pay income taxes. The employee receives the remaining shares and can sell them at his or her discretion.Benefits of RSUs including giving an employee an incentive to stay with a company long term and help it perform well so that their shares increase in value. If an employee decides to hold their shares until they receive the full vested allocation, and the company's stock rises, the employee receives the capital gain minus the value of the shares withheld for income taxes and the amount due in capital gains taxes. Limitations of Restricted Stock Units including it not providing dividends, as actual shares are not allocated. However, an employer may pay dividend equivalents that can be moved into an escrow account to help offset withholding taxes, or be reinvested through the purchase of additional shares.
