Investment Management, Build Around Tax Efficiency
What is Investment Management?
Investment management is the professional arrangement of assets such as stocks, bonds, and commodities, in order to reach your financial goals. It is focused on:
Allocation of assets
Mitigating risk, managing return
Tracking performance & making adjustments.
An integrated approach to managing investments is best. We integrate investments into a broader, tax-smart financial strategy designed around your life.

What is Tax-Smart Investment Management?
We manage investments in a tax-efficient manner. Here are some of the tasks we carry out.
Tax-Loss Harvesting: Netting gains against losses to minimize tax impact of realized gains.
Asset Location: Being strategic about where to hold assets. For example, tax efficient investments like municipal bond assets go into taxable accounts.
Charitable Gifting: Donating securities to a Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, to avoid tax impact of selling at a gain.
Tax Lot Coordination: Strategic selection of the particular tax lots to sell in order to minimize realized gains.
