“Nothing is certain except death and taxes” – Benjamin Franklin

Every year investors must contend with income taxes, but if that weren’t enough, even in death, fortunate investors must manage another tax – the estate tax. Taxes impact every aspect of the work of an Advisor. And while there is no escaping the tax man, there are numerous strategies to reduce or minimize an investor’s tax burden. Deferral options, the structure chosen for investments, asset location, tax loss harvesting, and estate tax planning strategies will be among the topics of discussion explored by our panelists to reduce taxes. Every advisor must be aware of these techniques and incorporate them appropriately to maximize the after-tax returns of clients.
