Tax Timing Notice: Annual Tax Burden Fluctuates With Market Cycles
A fund holding 60% equities and 40% bonds does not produce a static 60/40 tax liability each tax year. In equity bull markets, returns consist mostly of capital appreciation (which is unrealized and tax-deferred). In flat market years, returns consist primarily of taxable interest income (taxed at your marginal rate of 41%). View the tax dynamics explanation →
