    Love your channel so much Rob. Just like the disclaimer I never use your videos to make financial decisions, but you've helped me a lot in the last year cut through the industry jargon and shown some of the questions to ask, which is infinitely more valuable.
    I treat my taxable account like a high savings accounts because my 401k and Roth are set to maximize returns. So I have 70% invested in Dividend stocks like KO and 30% invested in Vanguards tax protected Municipal bond fund. The goal is that even with dividends being taxed, it still has the ability to add shares over time (and I intend to hold KO forever), while the Municipal produces tax protected gains that are still better than the 1% savings accounts rates (though not by much at the moment). I hope to not have to touch it, but both of those stocks are also easy to sell with low share prices if I needed emergency cash as well.

Perhaps you could expand on whether it's a good option seeing as though the pies and rebalancing elements are attractive. Thanks!

  • @paulw3495
    @paulw3495 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If someone had an actively-managed Small Cap Growth fund in a taxable account, they might be subject to annual capital gains taxation. For example, JANVX, had about 12% of the portfolio value in capital gains for 2021. I understand this can be avoided by investing in a comparable index fund or ETF (VSGAX or VBX for example).
    My understanding was that Index funds are tax efficient because of low turnover. If VSGAX has a turnover rate of 24% (comparable to JANVX which has a 21% turnover rate), why has VSGAX produced no LTCGs over the past five years? Low turnover can’t be the only explanation as to why index funds are tax-efficient because VSGAX seems to have growth with a significant turnover rate but no capital gains.
    I appreciate the low-key informational focus of your channel.

  • @greg5892

    Rob, do you know more these days about how NTSX works? It levers treasury futures for a 90/60 allocation of stocks to long term treasuries, effectively a 60/40 two-fund portfolio at 1.5x. The idea is to maximize the returns per unit risk and then dial up the risk to match a 100% equities portfolio. That increases returns over the 100% VOO portfolio except when treasuries and stocks are both dropping, which is true also of the 60/40 rather than being an effect of the leverage.

    Hello all remember with the tsp if u move the money before 59 1/2 from 401k to a IRA u will lose the advantage of not paying the early withdrawal penalty (10%) from age 55-59 1/2 which the 401k offers to your benefit that a IRA does not as long as u retire from your job at 55 where your current 401k is with.

  • @garyb711
    @garyb711 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Rob! You stated that you goal is to be able to retire by withdrawing 3% or less each year. Did you reduce your income need by any social security you'll receive? If retiring early, how should someone approach deciding if a withdrawal rate greater than 4% is OK before social security kicks in? In my case, I think I'll be somewhere between 3.5% and 4% for about 7 years. If the market tanks, I could go over 4%. Once social security kicks in, I should be at 3% or less.

      Late reply but in case others w/similar question read this any security/fund can be held in any acct but tax efficiency is the issue. Ideally talk to a good CPA and fee only advisor (if US Rob has list on his website) at least once to review all your holdings in context with YOUR goals and situation. Best of luck.

    Whether or not it beats in CAGR is a matter of where interest rates go.

    So happy I’m in an alternate geography. Retirement accounts can take $107k per annum so no need to use taxable accounts until you’re contributing $107k annually to the retirement account. And then you can bring forward three years of contributions. Struggling to hit the retirement account limits.

      I think there are two reasonable approaches. One would be to rebalance once a year at the same time, regardless of whether the market is up or down. The other is to rebalance when your actual allocation has moved away from your planned allocation be a pre-defined amount. I've covered this in a video on Opportunistic Rebalancing.
