    301: Women, Wealth & Taxes: Why Tax-Aware Investing Matters (Especially for Women Investors)

    Women often build wealth differently — through career growth, equity compensation, business ownership, inheritance, or major life transitions like divorce. But one of the biggest threats to long-term wealth for women is often overlooked: Taxes. In this episode, I explain why tax-aware investing matters — and why it can make an especially meaningful difference for women as their financial lives grow more complex. We’ll cover: What “tax drag” really meansWhy after-tax returns matter more than pre-tax performanceHow taxes quietly reduce flexibility and optionsWhy women may be more exposed to long-term tax riskHow thoughtful planning can preserve generational wealthTax-aware investing isn’t about avoiding taxes. It’s about being intentional about when and how much you pay — so your wealth supports your life, not the other way around. If you're building wealth and want to make smarter, more intentional decisions around taxes, this conversation is for you.

    296: Understanding Leverage, Short Selling, and Active Trading in Tax-Aware Long-Short Strategies (Part 2 of 2)

    In our last episode, Hilary pulled back the curtain on tools many investors are taught to fear—like leverage, short selling, and active trading—and how, when used wisely, they can produce tax alpha: higher net returns that come from smart tax planning, not investment performance alone. If you left part one wondering, “Doesn’t this mean lots of trading and market timing? And hasn’t Hilary always said market timing underperforms index funds?”—this episode is for you. Because while active trading does often deserve its bad reputation, the “active” in tax-aware long-short is different; it isn’t about chasing headlines, jumping in and out of the market, or guessing what comes next. It’s a systematic, rules-based process designed to create a small excess return and generate consistent tax benefits—without changing your long-term investment plan. In this episode, Hilary explains what “active” really means in this context, breaks down how the tax-aware long-short strategy works from the ground up, and shows why, in many cases, it’s the single most powerful tool inside Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠. Because for many high-net-worth investors, taxes are your largest lifetime expense. And while taxes are inevitable, here’s what’s not: letting them control your life, your choices, or your financial future. Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money: 02:45 Active trading to chase market returns versus its use as a disciplined, rules-based system to harvest tax losses and preserve your core investment plan05:36 The three building blocks of the tax-aware long-short strategy: the core portfolio, the long overlay, and the short overlay08:05 The due diligence we went through to vet AQR Capital Management, the custodians, and Flex SMA’s track record before making it available to suitable investors 10:52 The real impact of tax efficiency on your life, and financial scenarios or events that make someone a suitable investor for this approach13:23 The services we offer within our Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth ManagementSM suite–designed to proactively work to keep your wealth strong, flexible, and protected from unnecessary tax erosion15:59 The importance of acting now to preserve optionality, protect your wealth, and prevent unnecessary erosion of your financial freedom–and how to get in touch if you want to find out whether UTEWMSM and the tax-aware long-short strategy is right for youShow Notes To get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/tax-aware-long-short-strategies-part-2 Follow Hilary on: LinkedIn  Instagram YouTube  Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.

    295: Understanding Leverage, Short Selling, and Active Trading in Tax-Aware Long-Short Strategies (Part 1 of 2)

    What if the financial tools you’ve been taught to fear—like leverage, short selling, and active trading—aren’t inherently dangerous? What if the real risk isn’t the tool itself, but how it’s applied and who is using it?  The truth is these tactics can create unnecessary risk if misused. But when they’re applied for a specific, evidence-based purpose–like generating consistent tax advantages–they can actually become powerful tools in a savvy investor’s toolkit. In this episode of Love, your Money® (the first in a two-part series!) Hilary pulls back the curtain on a misunderstood strategy in modern wealth management: market-neutral leverage–and how it functions within a tax-aware long-short strategy. You’ll learn: The difference between “long” and “short” overlays, and why it mattersHow leverage shows up in peoples’ financial lives–and what makes it high-risk vs low-riskHow long-short overlays can reduce tax drag without adding market risk How advanced strategies with a “bad reputation” can actually protect and grow wealth when used responsiblyIf you’ve ever wondered whether strategies like leverage, short selling, and active trading are too risky to touch, this episode will show you why the answer isn’t so simple–and why dismissing them outright could mean missing out on meaningful, lasting tax benefits. Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money: 02:44 What leverage is, the role it plays in building wealth, and low-risk versus high-risk06:21 How leverage is used prudently in the tax-aware long-short strategy we execute within Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠ 08:49 Introducing the market-neutral tax-aware long-short strategy we offer through Flex SMAs11:03 Breaking down the long overlay, the short overlay, and the long-short overlay14:57 How using the market-neutral, long-short overlay allows you to generate tax alpha whether the market is up or down17:33 A few examples of real world outcomes that a tax-aware, long-short strategy can provide for investors20:29 How farming can help us understand market-neutral leverage and tax-aware long-short strategies24:03 How we implement long-short overlays and separately managed accounts in client portfolios27:42 How to get in touch to learn more about Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth ManagementSM–and whether tax-aware long-short strategies are right for youShow Notes To get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/tax-aware-long-short-strategies-pt1 Follow Hilary on: LinkedIn  Instagram YouTube  Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.
