The 1998 merger of Citicorp and Travelers created the model of the financial supermarket and effectively ended Glass-Steagall. The company required one of the largest government rescues in 2008 and has spent the years since simplifying: selling consumer banking in more than a dozen countries, separating Banamex in Mexico, and reorganizing around five businesses under Jane Fraser. Its distinguishing asset is treasury and trade solutions, moving corporate money across roughly ninety countries. Headquarters are in New York City.

Citigroup equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge C stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and C's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current C option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Citigroup grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Citigroup typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Citigroup RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Citigroup restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
