Suppose you were granted some stock and stock options last year that don’t vest for another 3 years. From the time of granting, the company shares are hitting 52 week highs and you don’t think things will stay this way for long. What are some things you can do to mitigate a loss in value while you remain unvested?
In the past, my approach was to regularly buy about-to-expire Put options with exercise prices slightly below the current market value so that they aren’t that expensive, but yet provide some protection in case the floor fell out of the stock price while shares remain unvested. I double checked, and I don’t have any restrictions on doing this again.
However, would any of you do anything different or additional?

If your employer does not have this restriction, good for you.

I don’t know if my company restricts me from betting against the company, whether it’s a hedge of my compensation or not. But I couldn’t seriously defend it in front of my company’s CEO, so I wouldn’t do it.
