Explore How Taxes Can Impact Future Wealth

Select each hypothetical portfolio to learn how tax drag can impact wealth over time.

For illustrative purposes only. The above hypothetical analysis compares a base portfolio of $1M that assumes a 7.5% annual return with two other portfolios with reduced annual returns of 6.5% and 5.5% over a 20-year period. The portfolios with reduced returns are meant to demonstrate the long-term effects of even a small amount of compounded annual return loss due to tax-inefficiency or "Tax Drag". Actual results may be influenced by more complex factors.

Next Step

Consider which clients in your portfolio might be good candidates for further conversation about a tax-aware investment approach to help reduce the impact of taxes on their portfolios.
