Portfolio Rebalancing + Tax Management: Adding Real Value to Client Portfolios
Whether you’re looking to build deeper relationships with existing clients or preparing to take your practice to the next level, there’s no better time to explore opportunities to enhance the value you deliver. In fact, RIAs using Envestnet | Tamarac® for portfolio rebalancing and tax management understand how critical active rebalancing and tax efficient strategies can be when it comes to the value they add to client portfolios.
But don’t just take our word for it. Envestnet | PMC® research quantifies the value that select sources, including systematic rebalancing and tax management, can add to client portfolios. From the study, Capital Sigma: The Advisor Advantage, (link below) we find that for advisors to deliver the most alpha to client portfolios, you need to focus on five sources: systematic rebalancing, tax management, financial planning, asset selection and allocation and investment selection. The combination of successfully implementing these five sources has produced around 3% of value add annually—results that are consistent with PMC research first published in 2014.1
In this post, we’re focusing on two pillars of advisor-created value—systematic portfolio rebalancing and tax management—and how Tamarac’s cutting-edge technology can help you add more value to client portfolios.
Systematic Rebalancing: Essential to Portfolio Efficacy
According to PMC research, systematically rebalancing a diversified portfolio should be carried out every year rather than the naïve approach of rebalancing once every three years. PMC believes two key benefits arise from a carefully constructed and systematic rebalancing policy: greater risk control and enhanced returns. The process of systematically rebalancing a diversified portfolio annually can add 30 basis points of value each year.
Tax Management and Tax Loss Harvesting Really Matter
Because efficient tax management in an all-equity portfolio can add approximately 100 basis points of value annually, it’s a component of advisor-added value that simply can’t be ignored. Focus on an informed tax management approach that looks at all available options, including a buy-and-hold strategy, tax-loss harvesting and tax optimization alpha.
