Lucas and Luna examine the mechanics of tracking these hidden stakes through secondary markets, block trades, and beneficial ownership disclosures.

    How Family Offices Use Employee Stock Options
    Oct 20 2026
    Ep 223: We break down the specific mechanics of how single-family offices are restructuring executive compensation packages to capture long-term value. Instead of relying on traditional vesting schedules, some offices are negotiating custom option pools tied to internal milestones rather than public market benchmarks. Lucas and Luna examine a concrete case where a family office leveraged non-standard equity structures to retain talent in a competitive tech sector while minimizing dilution for founders. We look at the tax implications of these private exercises, the liquidity challenges of holding unlisted options, and why this strategy is gaining traction among affluent investors who prioritize control over convenience. #FamilyOffice #EquityCompensation #PrivateEquity #StockOptions #WealthManagement #TaxStrategy #ExecutivePay #VentureCapital #StartupFinance #LiquidityEvents #DilutionControl #EmployeeRetention #CorporateGovernance #AffluentInvesting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinanceNews #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
