Few FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 firms fully optimise their equity plan capital stack. LTIs, options, SAYE, EBT funding, and hedging are managed in silos — creating significant, largely unrealised cost reduction opportunities. EquityGuard brings cross-book capital discipline to share plan liabilities for the first time.
Early access for FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 treasury and governance teams.
Most listed companies manage share plan liabilities across disconnected teams, systems, and advisors. EBT funding decisions are made without sight of hedging positions. Hedging mandates are set without reference to vesting forecasts. Dilution headroom is consumed without a unified capital view. The result is a fragmented capital stack where inefficiency compounds silently — and significant savings go uncaptured.
LTI grants, option exercises, SAYE maturities, EBT funding, hedging positions — unified for the first time. EquityGuard gives treasury a single capital view across every share plan liability, replacing the fragmented spreadsheets and siloed advisors that let costs compound unnoticed.
Continuous monitoring compares live share price, dilution headroom, and treasury cash flows against original decision assumptions. When conditions drift, costs drift with them — EquityGuard surfaces the capital impact before it reaches the board as a surprise.
Forward-looking capital models across your full equity plan landscape — vesting schedules, option windows, SAYE maturity waves — so treasury can identify funding efficiencies, time market purchases, and reduce the total cost of delivering share plan commitments.
Model trust funding requirements against plan commitments and hedging positions in real time. Identify when to fund, when to purchase, and when existing trust assets already cover upcoming vestings — eliminating unnecessary capital deployment.
Monitor hedge coverage against live equity plan liabilities with full sight of EBT holdings. Avoid over-hedging, reduce counterparty costs, and align strategy to vesting profiles — turning a compliance exercise into a genuine capital efficiency lever.
