How Equity Compensation Becomes Tax-Efficient Retirement Planning
The executives who build the most durable retirement wealth are the ones who treat each equity event as part of a multi-year strategy, not an isolated transaction.
In practice that means:
- Coordinating RSU vesting with other income events to manage bracket exposure
- Modeling ISO exercise scenarios across two or three years rather than acting at the window
- Building a retirement income strategy that accounts for the tax character of each asset, not just the total value
- Knowing when not to act. The wrong answer is making these decisions without a framework
