Frequently asked questions

The process of building and managing investment portfolios with after-tax outcomes in mind is tax optimization. For financial professionals, this can include tax-aware asset allocation, tax-efficient investment vehicles, municipal bonds, separately managed accounts (SMAs), and 1031 exchanges, which could help manage clients’ capital gains, income taxes, and overall tax drag.

By identifying each client’s tax profile, income needs, liquidity goals, and concentrated holdings, and then matching those needs to appropriate tax-aware solutions can help create a tax-optimized portfolio. It can include tax-efficient ETFs, municipal bond strategies, custom equity SMAs, and tax-aware fixed income SMAs to help improve after-tax return potential while staying aligned with the client’s broader investment objectives.

Tax-loss harvesting, tax-efficient ETFs, custom equity SMAs, long/short equity strategies, charitable giving, and 1031 exchanges for qualifying real estate transactions are ways to help reduce taxes on capital gains. The appropriate approach depends on the client’s tax situation, investment goals, time horizon, and need for diversification.

Because their income is generally exempt from federal income tax and may also be exempt from state and local taxes for those who live in the issuing state, muni bonds can be a tax-efficient way to invest. For investors in higher tax brackets, they can also help support tax-advantaged income and improve after-tax yield potential within a diversified bond portfolio.

High-net-worth and real estate investors, those with only taxable accounts or concentrated stock positions, those seeking tax-advantaged income, and business owners may want to consider tax-aware strategies. Financial professionals can use tax-aware portfolio construction to help clients manage tax complexity, align investments with personal goals, and reduce the tax impact on their income and investments.
