Access liquidity

As a corporate executive, you have a natural reluctance to sell shares of your company's stock in a way that would send a negative signal to the market. But as an individual with wealth to manage, it's also important for you to appropriately limit your exposure to this very same stock in keeping with your overall investment objectives and appetite for risk. Through programs designed specifically for corporate executives, we can help you resolve this conflict.

Evaluating when to exercise stock options
Stock options can be a valuable source of liquidity, although deciding which ones to exercise, and when, can be extremely complex. JPMorgan has the expertise and the proprietary analytical resources to help you and your advisors evaluate your options - both nonqualified and incentive stock options - and determine an appropriate exercise strategy.

Selling through a pre-planned program
SEC Rule 10b5-1 gives corporate insiders an affirmative defense against charges of insider trading if they sell shares through a pre-planned program. We can help you design and execute such a program within the parameters of these and any guidelines set by your company. We have many years of experience working with both corporate attorneys and restricted stock holders, and we are uniquely prepared to guide you so you can get the most out of your assets.

Monetizing your restricted shares
If you don't want to sell your restricted stock at this time, you can monetize its value through other means.

The benefit of experience
Whether you decide to sell or monetize your shares, JPMorgan provides a combination of sales and trading experience, market knowledge and legal insight. Few other firms, if any, have comparable resources for taking full advantage of any restricted stock or options you hold.

Contact a JPMorgan Advisor to learn more about how JPMorgan can work with you to access the full value of your wealth. Alternatively, you may contact any JPMorgan office.
