Tax-Efficient Investing
Improving After-Tax Returns
At Infinitus Wealth Management, tax efficiency is integrated directly into the investment management process. Investment performance is ultimately measured on an after-tax basis, and thoughtful tax planning within portfolio construction can meaningfully influence long-term wealth accumulation.
Our Tax-Efficient Investing approach focuses on managing portfolio decisions with awareness of tax impact — helping clients retain more of their investment returns while maintaining alignment with long-term capital objectives.
What Is Tax-Efficient Investing?
Tax-efficient investing involves structuring portfolios and making investment decisions in a way that considers the tax implications of gains, income, and distributions.
This may include:
-
Managing realized gains and losses strategically
-
Evaluating holding periods for tax treatment
-
Coordinating asset location across taxable and tax-advantaged accounts
-
Monitoring portfolio turnover
-
Managing distributions and income-generating investments
The objective is not simply to minimize taxes in the short term, but to improve long-term after-tax outcomes through disciplined capital management.
Strategic Gain & Loss Management
Investment portfolios naturally generate gains and losses over time. Our process incorporates thoughtful evaluation of when to realize gains and when to offset them with losses, where appropriate.
Tax-loss harvesting may be used to:
-
Offset realized gains
-
Reduce taxable income within applicable limits
-
Improve portfolio tax efficiency without materially altering long-term allocation
These decisions are made within the broader investment strategy to ensure tax considerations complement — rather than override — portfolio objectives.
Asset Location & Account Coordination
Different types of investments may be more suitable for certain account structures. We evaluate how assets are allocated across:
-
Taxable brokerage accounts
-
Retirement accounts (such as IRAs)
-
Other tax-advantaged structures
Placing income-producing or higher-turnover assets in tax-advantaged accounts, when appropriate, can enhance overall portfolio efficiency.
Asset location is coordinated with overall asset allocation to support both growth and tax awareness.
Managing Turnover & Distributions
Portfolio turnover and distribution management can influence tax outcomes. Our active management process considers:
-
Holding periods
-
Dividend and capital gain distributions
-
Rebalancing impact
-
Income-producing investments
These factors are evaluated alongside investment merit to help manage unnecessary tax drag while preserving portfolio integrity.
Long-Term Compounding & Tax Awareness
Taxes can meaningfully impact long-term compounding. Even modest improvements in after-tax returns may enhance portfolio growth over time.
By integrating tax considerations into portfolio construction and ongoing management, we seek to support more efficient capital accumulation while maintaining disciplined investment principles.
Our Objective
To enhance long-term after-tax portfolio performance by integrating tax awareness into investment management decisions, helping clients retain more of their returns while pursuing growth and risk management objectives.
