Certified Financial Planners (CFP®) And Other Professionals Can Now Get Most Of Their Required Continuing Education Credits In The myStockOptions Learning Center

myStockOptions.com has expanded the valuable offerings in its Learning Center, a convenient resource that offers required continuing education (CE) credits for Certified Financial Planners (CFPs), Certified Equity Professionals (CEPs), Certified Private Wealth Advisors (CPWAs), and Certified Investment Management Analysts (CIMAs).

A new course on equity compensation at private and pre-IPO companies builds on the previously established programs about financial planning, taxation, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, employee stock purchase plans, and SEC law.

New Course: Private & Pre-IPO Company Stock Compensation

The new course, Private & Pre-IPO Company Stock Compensation, is a timely addition in an age of huge demand for knowledge and resources in the complex realm of startup and private company equity compensation. Private companies have been growing fast over the past few years while granting increasing amounts of equity to their employees, whether via stock options or restricted stock units. Furthermore, the record number of initial public offerings (IPOs) and M&A deals in 2021 put a spotlight on the complex financial planning for equity comp and company shares that employees and their advisors need to know when a private company goes public or gets acquired.

The Learning Center at myStockOptions is a crucial resource for financial advisors and stock plan professionals who need to keep up their required continuing education on equity comp and earn the CE credits required to maintain their certifications.
