Initial Consultation and Discovery
The Mehra family initially approached Stealth Wealth with concerns about managing their Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). They were unsure about how to maximize these assets and needed expert guidance. During the first meeting, Stealth Wealth’s founder, Lakshay Gupta, took the time to understand their entire financial situation, asking detailed questions about their income, expenses, existing investments, and future goals.
Challenges Faced
The Mehra family faced several challenges:
– Complexity in managing ESOPs and RSUs: They were unaware of the best strategies for handling these complex financial instruments.
– Uncoordinated financial planning: Their investments, insurance, and tax planning were handled separately, leading to inefficiencies.
– Education Support: They needed a robust plan to finance their daughter’s higher education in Ireland.

Stealth Wealth conducted a comprehensive review of the Mehra family’s finances and provided a holistic plan. Key steps included:
– Optimizing ESOPs and RSUs: They devised strategies for tax-efficient exercises and diversifications.
– Streamlining Investments: They consolidated and rebalanced the Mehra family’s investment portfolio to align with their risk tolerance and goals.
– Educational Support: They created a dedicated fund for their daughter’s education, ensuring sufficient resources were available when needed.
– Tax Optimization: They implemented tax-saving strategies, maximizing the family’s after-tax income.
