Learners sometimes confuse "vest" with "invest" in financial contexts. "Invest" means to put money into something; "vest" (of rights/benefits) means those rights become fully yours. Also, this sense is almost always used without a direct object: we say "the options vest," not *"the company vests the options" in this intransitive pattern.
