Tax-efficient investment portfolios for high-net-worth individuals

Different types of investments can have different tax implications. Bonds, stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETF), annuities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs) all have different tax advantages and disadvantages.

Management of short- and long-term capital gains

Capital gains occur at the sale of an asset or investment and are handled differently depending on how long an asset has been held. For many investors, it can be difficult to know when it is advantageous to sell an investment vs. hold onto it. Does my investment qualify for the lower long-term capital gains tax rate? Should I sell now when the value of my investment is lower, but so is the capital gains tax? And so on. Avidian uses conservative, time-tested strategies to help our clients get answers to questions like these and meet their goals efficiently and effectively.

Tax strategies for retirement & estate planning at Avidian

Tax-efficient retirement accounts

Retirement accounts can provide long-term shelter for your income. What makes the best retirement account for you and your needs will depend on your individual circumstances. For example, you may want a “tax-deferred account” (traditional 401(k) and traditional IRA) where contributions are made pre-tax or a “tax-exempt account” (Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s) where contributions are made post-tax. Your team of financial advisors at Avidian will take these factors into account and advise you on the appropriate type of account to pursue when building out your retirement plan.

Charitable giving strategies

Tax-deductible donations can reduce your taxable income and ultimately give you more control over where your money is spent. Gifts do not have to be limited to cash; you can also donate stocks. Our advisors can work with you to help reduce tax liability through gifts and donations to qualified organizations and charities and make sure that these donations are documented and reported accurately.
