TAX-ADVANTAGED INVESTMENTS /

We offer strategies which may improve returns through tax efficiency

TAX EFFICIENCY AS PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY

While all investors should think in terms of risk-adjusted returns, tax-paying investors should also think of their after-tax risk-adjusted returns. This does not mean tax efficiency should be the driving force behind investing decisions. However, tax-paying investors should plan their investments and spending needs with taxes in mind from the outset and if there is a tie between two similarly situated investments, they should always go with the more tax-efficient one.

IMPROVE RETURNS THROUGH TAX EFFICIENCY

Tax efficiency is essential to maximizing returns. Due to the complexities of both investing and Canadian tax laws, many investors don't understand how to manage their portfolio to minimize their tax burden. Simply put, tax efficiency is a measure of how much of an investment's return is left over after taxes are paid. The more that an investment relies on investment income - rather than a change in its price - to generate a return, the less tax-efficient it is to the investor. Peter Besler offers strategies for creating a more tax-efficient portfolio. These strategies contain tools commonly overlooked by investors, which may result in lower lifetime returns due to paying higher taxes. We offer a complete range of tax-advantaged investment products and services, including:

USING TAX EFFICIENCY EFFECTIVELY

The best possible after-tax return can be achieved by balancing not only an investment's risk in relation to potential return but its risk in relation to its after-tax return. Peter Besler will help you incorporate tax effective strategies when choosing your investments. This approach may help you reduce or defer the amount of tax incurred. Peter can help you understand the tax implications of investing so you can take advantage of the most tax effective ways to meet your investment objectives.

Based on the different tax treatments of investment income, you may wish to consider strategies that maximize tax efficiency within your portfolio. One simple option is to hold investments that earn interest income within your registered plan, where income is tax-sheltered, and investments with preferential tax treatment in a non-registered account. Peter Besler may suggest additional tax-efficient strategies for your portfolio.

The old saying goes, “It’s not what you make but rather what you keep that counts”. This is crucial in the investment world. Peter Besler calls this Tax Smart Investing. Tax Smart Investing focuses on the after tax implications of any investment decision. Tax Smart Investing is especially important when investing non-RRSP money because any investment earnings are taxed unlike investing money inside an RRSP, where all investment income is tax sheltered.
