It’s Not Just What You Earn, It’s What You Keep

As an advisor, you focus on helping clients grow their wealth. But it’s not only about how much they make; it’s also about how much they keep after taxes. Taxes on investments from capital gains, dividends, and interest can quietly reduce what stays in a client’s pocket.

How Taxes Can Affect Investment Growth

Taxes can take a chunk out of investment gains over time. Without paying attention to taxes each year, clients might move slower toward their financial goals. Many advisors are great at planning but may not have the time to watch the tax impact of every trade or decision.

A More Thoughtful Way to Handle Taxes

Tax-sensitive portfolio management is a way to think about taxes as part of every investment choice. The idea is not to avoid taxes completely but to try to reduce the impact where possible. Over time, this can help clients hold on to more of what they earn.
