Tricia and Teri talk with Ryan Katona, Regional Director at Russell Investments. They discuss the hidden impact of taxes on portfolio returns; particularly tax drag, which refers to lower net returns due to the impact of taxes on a portfolio. Ryan explains strategies to minimize tax drag, such as reducing turnover, avoiding tax-inefficient investments, and utilizing tax loss harvesting. Ryan also introduces direct indexing, a strategy that allows investors to own individual stocks that aim to track an index's return while actively harvesting losses along the way.
