Benjamin Franklin once said "Nothing is certain except death and...", you know the rest!
Taxes are a necessary fundamental order of our society. Without them, emergency services, water treatment, public works, and so many other factors of civil affairs would be neglected. As much as we don't want to admit their need, we eventually must. Just like many other outlets of our livelihood, investment vehicles may be subject to taxation.
These vehicles are most likely to fall within standard income or long-term capital gains taxes. However, due to certain federal and state policies, as well as correct management of capital-gaining investments, we can functionally and legally put investors in the best position to potentially clear some of these taxable events.
Using the vehicles outlined below, as well as several others, through our four service categories, we can potentially help investors hold onto a bit more of their hard-earned money.
Helpful Tax Focused Information
Municipal Bond Funds
As outlined in our Investments tab, a bond fund is a mutual fund formed with different bond and debt oligations.
These vehicles are subject to federal and/or state income tax upon distribution depending on the debt obligation type.
However, certain municipal bonds, which help fund public works, may be federal or state income tax-exempt.
Tax-Aware Mutual Funds
A Tax-Aware Mutual Fund, managed by one of our investment partners, strategically navigates the winding roads of long and short-term capital gains taxes.
A capital gain is a net profit on an investment. A capital gain tax is a tax upon said profit/gain.

Roth IRA
Introduced in 1997 by Senator William Roth of Delaware, per the namesake, a Roth IRA functions just as a Traditional IRA would, except with non-tax deductable contributions.
Non-tax deductable means these contributions, which are limited per year, are taxed per that given year as income.
However, distributions, after the necessary age and holding span, are income-tax free!
