Using Equity Compensation to help you meet your goals
Navigating your equity compensation can be difficult. Our team will work with you to effectively integrate your equity award(s) into your broader financial plan to help you meet your goals.
Stock Options
Stock options are a potentially valuable benefit that gives employees the right – but not the obligation – to purchase shares of their company at a fixed price, known as the strike price or exercise, within a set period of time.
Stock Options - Learn More!
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are a promise to deliver shares of company stock to the holders upon vesting. Performance Stock Units (PSUs) are similar to RSUs, but their vesting schedule may be based solely or in addition to on predetermined measures of performance. The employee is not required to pay for the shares when shares are awarded or when they vest.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
Working for a company that offers employees an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) can be a valuable perk that can help you reach your financial goals. It’s a benefit only offered by about half of public companies, so count yourself fortunate if your company offers one!

Tax Management Strategies for Equity Compensation
Using an effective tax management strategy for your equity compensation can not only reduce your tax liabilities but can also enhance your after-tax returns. Here’s a look at four strategies you may want to consider.
Four Strategies to Consider
Diversifying Your Holdings
Equity compensation can be a powerful tool for building wealth, but be careful not to put all your eggs in one basket. It’s a good idea to assess your holdings in light of your risk tolerance and financial goals. You may find that you need to take action to diversify your assets and protect your wealth.
Four Considerations When Diversifying Your PortfolioAddressing Your Complex, Multigenerational Wealth Management Issues
As your family grows and your wealth increases, you may face subtle and profound wealth management issues. You will likely need a full team of professionals with extensive technical expertise and tools to better navigate complexities. Our team of advisors, along with Morgan Stanley's Family Office Resources (FOR), will help you create a customized, comprehensive plan to help you achieve your unique vision.
Trust Services
Wealth accumulation is followed by wealth preservation, which in turn is followed by wealth transition. The
management of these three wealth phases requires careful planning and long-term commitment.
Our trustee platform is “open architecture,” meaning that we provide you with access to an appropriate third-party corporate trustee for your trust account. Trust Specialists, within Morgan Stanley, analyze client trust documents and situations and then suggest a fiduciary solution for your needs and goal.

About Richard Correra
Rich co-founded The Legacy Alliance Group at Morgan Stanley with one focus: helping people meet their financial and lifestyle goals. While Rich officially began his career as a Financial Advisor 23 years ago, following in the footsteps of his late father and business partner, Anthony Correra, Rich was introduced to financial planning and investment management as far back as he can remember. Rich’s father instilled his passion for the financial markets, and more so, helping people achieve their financial goals even before Rich recognized his calling. Rich now carries on Anthony’s “legacy” and kind heartedness, through every client interaction and relationship.
Rich and his team begin every client relationship by learning all about you and your family in order to help you meet your life’s goals. Through this discovery process, he crafts a multi-generational strategy for your family, focusing on mitigating risk, capitalizing on opportunities, and maintaining tax efficiency. Rich’s ability to uphold calmness through a number of business cycles derives from a long career in investment management as a Senior Portfolio Manager at his prior firms and now with The Legacy Alliance Group.
Graduating from City University of New York with a degree in Business Administration and Management, Rich has seen the Wealth Management landscape progress into the 21st century. Rich and his colleagues believe that it is crucial to consistently pursue new designations that bolster their expertise and ability to service their clients. Richard holds both the Chartered Retirement Plan Specialist (CRPS®) and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designations. He additionally maintains his Series 7, 9, 10, 31, 63 and 65 securities licenses along with Life, Annuity, Health and Disability insurance licenses.
Rich resides in Rumson, New Jersey with his wife, Lisa and daughters Ava and Lia. He enjoys cycling, kayaking and skiing with his family. Rich is an active fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital with his daughters through The Kids for Kids Foundation.

11Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
