How To Invest Tax-efficiently


Taxes shouldn't be the primary driver of your investment strategy—but it makes sense to take advantage of opportunities to manage, defer, and reduce taxes. Manage federal income taxes by considering the role of losses, the timing of investments, and investment selection. Using tax-deferred accounts when appropriate can help keep more of your money invested and working for you—and then you can pay taxes on withdrawals in the future. Reduce taxes by considering strategies like donating appreciated securities to charity, and funding education expenses using a 529 plan.
