Founders & executives

When success changes your balance sheet, the next decisions matter more.

Your income, career, business ownership and accumulated wealth may all depend on one company. The rest of your capital should be organised with that concentration in view.

The difficulty is rarely one investment. It is what changed around it.

01
Sale · Secondary · Bonus

A liquidity event

Investable capital arrives quickly, while the jobs it must perform may span several different time horizons.

02
RSUs · ESOPs · Listed shares

Vested employer stock

Career, future compensation and accumulated wealth can become dependent on the same company.

03
Funds · Shares · Global exposure

An accumulated portfolio

Individually reasonable decisions may repeatedly take the same risks when viewed together.

Concentration can grow without a deliberate decision.

An employer-stock position connects current wealth, future compensation and career risk to the same company. A careful plan separates what must be protected from what can remain exposed.

Illustrative structure based on an actual anonymised engagement.

  1. 01

    Protect

    Ring-fence capital required for tax, a home or other near-term commitments.

  2. 02

    Bound

    Decide how much company exposure can remain without dominating the balance sheet.

  3. 03

    Diversify

    Reduce concentration in stages while retaining a defined participation in future upside.

  4. 04

    Repeat

    Establish a framework for future vesting rather than restarting the decision each time.

The first decision is not what to buy. It is what the capital must do.

A sale or secondary transaction can turn an illiquid business interest into investable capital overnight. The investment plan should not be made overnight.

  1. 01

    Now

    Hold immediate tax and transaction requirements.

  2. 02

    0–3 years

    Protect known commitments and planned purchases.

  3. 03

    Staged

    Deploy long-term capital without making one market-timing decision.

  4. 04

    Long term

    Build a portfolio aligned with the owner’s real risk capacity.

Important decisions should be coordinated—not blurred together.
