Financial Planning for Nvidia Employees

Leveraging your RSUs, ESPP, and 401k to achieve Economic Freedom

Our Mercer Advisors team in the Bay Area specializes in working with tech executives, with a large concentration of clients who are employees at Nvidia. 

We have found that Nvidia employees can be so busy in their careers that they rarely stop to ask – what is my financial strategy, and what is it all for? That’s where Mercer Advisors comes in. Because to us, wealth management for Nvidia employees is more than managing a typical cookie-cutter portfolio.

Instead, it’s about connecting your Nvidia stock plan, 401k, and employee benefits with all other aspects of your financial life to help guide you to financial independence, or what we call Economic Freedom, where you can work hard by choice, not by necessity, and where you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want.

Planning for our Nvidia clients typically covers three main areas:

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

Nvidia’s stock plan typically follows a 4 year vesting schedule.  This means that any stock granted to you upon hire or during your annual refresh will not be fully yours until after 4 years. 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

A second form of stock compensation is Nvidia’s ESPP, through which employees can  purchase Nvidia stock at a 15% discount.  

401k

Nvidia’s 401(k) plan at Fidelity allows for some unique benefits.
