Intro

Tax deferral is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to investors. Why? Because it allows you to reinvest money that would have gone to the IRS, compounding returns on that money and significantly increasing your long-term wealth.

In this episode, I’m joined by Robert Hendershott (HWM’s Chief Investment Officer and my husband!) to talk about Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠—a suite of services that uses cutting-edge strategy designed to minimize taxes on your capital gains without sacrificing returns or adding unnecessary risk–and why he came out of retirement to help us implement this strategy with our high net worth clients. 

Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠ creates its benefits through realizing investment losses while deferring gains using a long-short overlay composed of individual stocks, which allows tax savings that can continue to compound for as long as the gains are deferred. And over a lifetime, that can be huge.

We can’t overestimate how powerful this new-to-market wealth building strategy is, and in today’s conversation, we’ll start at the beginning, talking about:
 
  ✔ Why tax deferral benefits investors and follows the letter of the IRS law
  ✔ How Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth ManagementSM works, as well as the risks and rewards of this tax-aware investing approach
  ✔ Why personalized tax management is a must for sophisticated investors

The bottom line? Tax planning isn’t one-size-fits-all. But with the right strategy, you can legally and effectively minimize taxes while maximizing your wealth.

If you know someone who has capital gains in their life, listen to this episode and forward it to them–because this conversation could really alter your financial trajectory for the better by deferring millions in taxes–while keeping more of your money working for you. ⬇️
