ADVICE

Place Assets By Tax Efficiency

  • Put your most tax-efficient investments in taxable accounts and bonds in tax-protected accounts when sensible.
  • Rebalance only in protected accounts and build the rest of your allocation around employer-plan low-cost funds.
ADVICE

Decide Allocation Then Map Accounts

  • First decide your target asset allocation, then map what's in each account and implement across accounts.
  • Use a spreadsheet to track balances so you can rebalance and place assets efficiently.
INSIGHT

One Overall Glide Path Wins

  • You care about the overall glide path across all accounts, not separate glide paths for each account.
  • Taxable accounts can be aggressive if you'll spend them first because you can rebalance by trading inside tax-protected accounts.
