Net Unrealized Appreciation

We guide you through NUA strategies to help you make the most of employer stock options while managing tax exposure.

Employer Stock Strategy

Unlock NUA Opportunities

Employer stock can be a powerful asset—if managed strategically. We guide you through complex tax decisions so you can make the most of what you’ve earned.

Experience navigating NUA rules and opportunities

NUA can create significant tax savings, but only when applied correctly. We help you understand if and when it’s right for you.

Clear guidance on tax-efficient rollover strategies

The wrong move can cost thousands in taxes. We help you avoid pitfalls and structure rollovers that support your long-term goals.

Help timing distributions to your advantage

Timing matters with NUA. We work with you to ensure distributions align with lower tax brackets or life transitions.

NUA is just one piece of your financial puzzle. We make sure it fits seamlessly into your broader retirement strategy.

Net Unrealized Appreciation FAQs

You have questions. You're not alone. Here are some of the most common things we help clients navigate—clear answers backed by experience and always tailored to your goals.

Can NUA be part of a larger retirement strategy?

Yes. When used properly, NUA can fit into a broader plan for tax-smart distributions and income planning.

Should I take a distribution or rollover?

It depends on your tax bracket, goals, and whether you’re retiring. We help you weigh your options with clarity.

Is NUA right for everyone with employer stock?

Not always. We’ll help assess whether the benefits apply in your situation or if another route makes more sense.

What is NUA, and how does it work?

NUA lets you potentially pay long-term capital gains tax instead of ordinary income tax on employer stock. Timing and structure are key to getting it right.
