Short answer
What does tax-efficient investing coordinate?
Tax-efficient investing coordinates portfolio tax characteristics with the client’s return, estate plan, charitable goals, liquidity needs, state tax, and investment-adviser implementation.
How this works in practice
The process separates tax strategy from investment recommendations, identifies planning issues, and coordinates the tax file with the properly registered investment professionals responsible for portfolio decisions.
