Seek to Eliminate Capital Gains
The Separately Managed Account (SMA) is custodied at Fidelity. The SMA approach allows you to maintain daily control, liquidity and transparency.
This approach focuses on realizing tax losses to offset capital gains, allowing investors to retain market exposure and defer taxes effectively. An ideal solution for managing concentrated positions or new liquidity.
Lumida's Tax Shield SMA's use a quantitative approach to systematically identify loss-harvesting opportunities while holding long positions in stocks expected to outperform and shorting those likely to underperform.
The Year 1 benefits of the tax strategy are significant. Investors contributing $10 MM to the strategy can expect to generate a return comparable to the major US indices and generate tax loss harvests that are roughly ~70% of the initial principal.
This strategy provides equity returns, a factor return, and tax carry loss forwards so you can compound your wealth while creating a tax shield.
