Successful corporate executives face unique investing challenges, because their personal wealth is irrevocably tied to their company’s performance, normal market ups and downs, and even unexpected events. An executive’s investment portfolio may consist mostly of employer stock and stock options that are governed by rules the executive doesn’t know about and can’t control. And the executive also faces a variety of other financial landmines, ranging from taxes to corporate pension shortfalls.
