Custom strategies for Broadcom employees
managing RSUs, ESPPs, or stock options
Broadcom employees often receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of equity through Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), stock options, and ESPPs. But without a plan, these benefits can come with unexpected tax consequences, concentration risk, and missed opportunities.
At Mercer Advisors, we specialize in helping tech professionals like those at Broadcom navigate equity compensation, minimize taxes, and build long-term wealth. Whether you’re planning around a stock vesting event, evaluating an RSU refresh, or managing your retirement future, our advisors help you create a plan as strategic and successful as your career.
Why Broadcom Employees Need Specialized Financial Advisors
Equity compensation isn’t just a benefit; it’s a planning priority. Many Broadcom professionals receive RSUs, participate in ESPPs, or hold concentrated stock positions after the VMware acquisition. With complex vesting schedules, tax timing considerations, and fluctuating stock values, working with a fiduciary financial advisor who understands your compensation structure is essential.
We provide:
- Strategic planning around Broadcom RSU refreshes and grants
- Timing and tax modeling for vesting events
- Diversification strategies to mitigate concentration risk
