Restricted Stock Unit financial
""security_title": "Restricted Stock Unit""
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
revocable trust financial
""nature_of_ownership": "Jeffrey M. McDonnell Revocable Trust UA""
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
