A vesting schedule is a timeline that determines when someone gains full ownership of certain benefits, such as company stock or retirement contributions. Think of it like earning the right to own a gift gradually over time, rather than receiving it all at once. It matters to investors because it affects when they can fully access or sell these benefits, influencing their financial planning and decision-making.
