taxes

How an exchange fund could fit into your client's financial goals

Diversify now, plan later

Exchange funds help provide diversification benefits now and the flexibility to decide the next steps later.

Estate planning

Exchange fund shares may benefit from a step-up in cost basis and heirs are excused from any lock-up periods. Gifting shares could also benefit from potential valuation discounts.

Broader investment strategy

Withdrawals from exchange funds are generally met in-kind and remain tax deferred. Investors can choose to incorporate those funds into a tax managed portfolio.

Planning for lower future taxes

Exchange funds provide flexibility, so investors can choose when to incur taxes. For example: moving to a lower tax state or realizing gains in lower income years.
