The Impact of Equity Compensation
We’ve noticed an increase in equity ownership from 2024 to 2025. This tells us that companies are increasingly using equity to attract and retain top talent in a competitive job market.
The Harvard Law School Forum points to a clear shift. Equity ownership rose to 82% in 2025, up from 70% in 2024, which suggests more companies are using equity to attract and keep great people in a competitive market.
Many are also leaning toward RSUs over stock options for added stability. And with economic volatility still top of mind, research shows 81% of employees are accelerating their financial planning, which makes equity more than just a benefit. For a lot of people, it’s one of the clearest paths to long-term wealth and peace of mind.
How We Work Together
We like to start with a 45-minute conversation to understand your equity compensation, your broader financial situation, and what’s coming next. There’s no pressure on this call, just clarity around where you are and how we can help.
