In today's episode Nicholas Olesen, CFP®, CPWA® talks about one of the best part about a market pullback, tax savings.
Rather than spend 30 minutes on all that it entails and multiple examples of how it works, this episode will cut right to how our investment team utilizes tax-loss harvesting.  In a recent published paper in the Financial Analysts Journal, and then summarized in an article from Vanguard, by implementing these strategies investors could benefit as much as 0.92% annually. There are not a lot of guarantees from investing, but tax savings is one guarantee we can take advantage of.

The drawdown has been much, much worse for many stocks The largest and most commonly owned companies have also pulled back more You can see the charts referenced by visiting: www.kathmere.com/blog
