3 Key Financial Strategies For Investors

There are 3 key financial strategies for investors that every financial advisor should be doing for their client. These strategies help manage taxes on investment gains and dividends in an effort to improve overall performance.

1. Harvest Tax Losses: In some cases, investment losses can be transformed into strategic wins by using those losses to offset gains, which could result in a lower tax bill.
2. Manage Capital Gains and Dividends: From holding periods to ex-dividend dates, managing these distributions has the potential to enhance your portfolio\’s tax efficiency.
3. Plan Investments Strategically: Don\’t focus on taxes only during tax season. Tax-friendly investments and strategies or tactics designed to reduce your portfolio\’s tax liability helps make tax efficiency a year-long goal.

If your financial advisor isn\’t providing the above, give Haven Financial Planning a call. It could be time for a new advisor.

No strategy assures success or protects against loss.
