Tax-Aware Investing Solutions
According to a 2025 BlackRock survey, many financial advisors aren’t offering their high-net-worth clients a full suite of tax planning services. In fact, only 54% of advisors surveyed consider asset location and 49% consider holding periods to avoid costly short-term capital gains.

- Tax-loss harvesting
- Tax-exempt investments (municipal bonds; Treasurys)
- Prioritizing tax-efficient investments in taxable accounts
- Capital gains distribution monitoring
- Tax-aware rebalancing
- Asset location
- Minimizing short-term capital gains in trading
