Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about tax-efficient investing and our optimization strategies.
How much can tax-efficient strategies save me annually?
Tax savings vary based on income level, tax bracket, and portfolio size, but typically range from 0.5% to 2.0% of portfolio value annually. For a $2M portfolio, this could mean $10K-40K in annual tax savings.
What is tax-loss harvesting and how does it work?
Tax-loss harvesting involves selling investments at a loss to offset capital gains, reducing your current tax liability. We systematically monitor portfolios and harvest losses while maintaining your investment strategy.
Are municipal bonds right for my situation?
Municipal bonds are most beneficial for investors in higher tax brackets (typically 32%+ federal). We analyze your specific tax situation to determine if munis provide better after-tax returns than taxable alternatives.
How do you coordinate with my CPA or tax advisor?
We work closely with your existing tax professionals, providing detailed reports and coordinating strategies. This ensures all tax planning is integrated and optimized across your entire financial picture.
What is asset location and why does it matter?
Asset location involves placing the right investments in the right account types (taxable, traditional IRA, Roth IRA) to minimize taxes. This strategy can add 0.3%-1.2% annually to after-tax returns.
Do these strategies work for retirement accounts?
Some strategies like asset location specifically involve retirement accounts. Others like tax-loss harvesting only apply to taxable accounts. We create comprehensive strategies across all account types.
