Leading Financial Advisors Headline myStockOptions Webinar On Covid-19 Planning For Stock Comp

The Covid-19 pandemic is impacting both company approaches to stock compensation and the financial-planning strategies advisors must consider for clients with equity comp, such as stock options and restricted stock units. After a wild downturn and upswing in the stock markets, financial planning for stock comp continues to be tested by ongoing stock-price volatility, economic uncertainty, corporate layoffs, and indefinite employment furloughs. It is more important than ever for financial advisors to re-evaluate approaches in this planning niche.

This is the subject of a special one-hour webinar being held by myStockOptions.com, the leading online resource of expertise on stock compensation. In this online event, leading financial advisors and equity comp experts will discuss how to reconsider planning for stock compensation and company shares amid the Covid-19 pandemic and its fallout:
