performance stock units (PSUs) financial

"vesting of performance stock units (PSUs)"

Performance stock units (PSUs) are a form of executive or employee pay that promise company shares only if pre-set performance goals are met over a defined period; think of them as a bonus paid in stock that arrives only when the company hits agreed targets. Investors watch PSUs because they affect the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and reveal how management’s pay is tied to financial or operational results, aligning incentives with shareholder outcomes.

performance period financial

"with a three-year performance period"

The performance period is the specific time span over which an investment’s results, an employee’s targets, or a fund’s returns are measured and judged. It matters to investors because the length and start/end of that window determine which gains or losses count toward performance fees, bonus payouts, or benchmark comparisons—much like timing a race decides who wins, the chosen period can change whether results look strong or weak.
