Let Your Equity Compensation Help You Reach Financial Goals
Your equity compensation can play an important role in building this personalized financial roadmap.

Equity Comp Taxation and Your Annual Tax Filing
Equity compensation can be one of the most valuable benefits offered by your company, but it’s important to understand how they work—and how they’re taxed. For example, one type of equity award may trigger certain federal taxes depending on the circumstances—federal ordinary income tax, the alternative minimum tax, and federal short- or long-term capital gains tax. Here’s what you need to know.

Restricted Stock Units (RSU)
RSUs are usually given to reward employees for their hard work, giving ownership in the company they're helping grow. RSU is a promise to deliver stock to the holder on a specified event or date.

Stock Options
Stock Options give employees the right – but not the obligation – to purchase shares at a fixed price. If the value of the stock increased over time, the holder can earn a profit. The two types of stock options, Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non–Qualified Stock Options (NQSOs), differ in their tax treatment.

About Richard J DiMarzo
In a career that has spanned more than 37 years, Richard DiMarzo has firmly established a stellar reputation for helping clients achieve their financial goals by employing a sound long-term approach to financial planning and money management.
Equally impressive, Richard has spent his entire career with Morgan Stanley and predecessor companies. His clients have been as loyal to him as he has been to Morgan Stanley because at the outset of every relationship he prepares them for what they might expect from their portfolio.
“While no one can predict the future, one can get a good idea of how certain investments might perform based on historical results,” he says. “When clients have this knowledge, they are less likely to react emotionally and take a detour from their financial plan when markets turn unexpectedly volatile.”
One of the reasons Richard has devoted so much of his life to the business – and why he has no plans to retire anytime soon -- is that he is fulfilled when his clients achieve their goals. He attributes this fact to his steadfast desire to only recommend investments they need. He never sells products.
While Richard has the experience to offer clients the full spectrum of financial services, he focuses primarily on equity and fixed-income asset management and financial planning for high-net-worth individuals and multi-generational families.
He is a Dedicated Equity Plan Specialist, which enables him to serve individuals at both private and public companies who have exercised stock options. He has also received his designation as Certified Portfolio Manager ® from Columbia University.
Richard is the former Chairperson of Judy’s Fund: Hope for Cancer Survivors. The fund was established in 2012 as a tribute to Judy, his late wife, who passed away from cancer in 2009. The fund’s purpose was to raise funds for the Judy DiMarzo Cancer Survivorship Program at Wilmot Cancer Institute. The fund worked to establish The Warrior Walk Celebrating Life Beyond Cancer, which has become an annual signature event for the Wilmot Cancer Institute.
He is the former Chairperson of the Board of the James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute, a former member of the George Eastman Circle and was a founding member of the Willow Society. Richard is also the former Chairman of the Board of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, served as Chair of the Board’s Institutional Advancement and Finance committees, as well as, the prior Chair of Institutional Advancement and Property and Finance.
Richard was awarded the 2015 Community Leadership award by Morgan Stanley and was also named Best-In-State Financial Advisor Forbes/Shook Research 2021.
A prior board member of PMI (Portfolio Management Institute) and a former 10 year associate member of PAMIC (Pennsylvania Association of Mutual Insurance Companies), where he actively wrote for the PAMIC Pulse, a monthly publication for Pennsylvania Mutual Insurance companies.
A graduate of Colgate University in Hamilton, New York he earned his degree in Philosophy and Religion with a concentration in Ethics.

About Shelley Ford
Deeply loyal to her clients, Shelley Ford has had a long, successful career as both a business leader and financial advisor. She joined Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor in May 2011 and the Pelican Bay Group in January 2014. She takes a thoughtful, in-depth approach to financial planning for all her clients and believes that every family member should fully understand their financial plan.
During her tenure at Morgan Stanley, Shelley has earned her Series 7, 66 and 31 licenses. But it’s the extensive experience that she accumulated as a business leader before joining the firm that enables her to deliver a high level of quality service and support to clients as a financial professional.
For 15 years, Shelley helped small- and mid-sized companies with business development. She was a chief marketing officer and an independent consultant and investment banker/broker, and also helped companies with their fundraising efforts. While she connects well with all types of high-net-worth clients, business owners and CEOs in particular greatly value her investment banking background because she has the experience to take what she calls “a deeper, more broad-minded approach to financial services.”
Shelley has extensive experience in estate planning strategies for those considering a merger and acquisition; she can also help business owners years before that event by assisting in cash management, 401K/ pension plans as well as providing access to lending services. “I take a pro-active approach to estate planning strategies, pre/post M&A, for my clients,” she says. “I am really committed to this effort.”
Other credentials that have broadened Shelley’s business reach include the following:
She was a coach for the Rocky Mountain Micro Finance Center for early-stage CEOs as well as for TIE Rockies, an early stage start-up support organization.
She pioneered and created the Executive Women Connecting (EWC) network. She is deeply committed to helping women and female business owners to better understand all of their financial options.
Shelley continues her involvement with non-profits, having served on the Board of Directors for Peripheral Neuropathy Association of Denver. She is currently serving on the board for Colorado Public Broadcasting.
Shelley earned a bachelor of science degree in Marketing with a minor in Economics from The University of Colorado. She also partnered with her husband Peter (a New Zealand native), starring on HGTV’s “My House is Worth What?” Together, they love to travel and are the very proud parents of Gabrielle and Brandon.

8The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
