55ip Table Assumptions – Hypothetical Wealth Creation With and Without Active Tax Management

Backtested performance of two $1M accounts invested in 60/40 Global Allocation strategy (60% S&P and 40% AGG exposure), one with active tax management and one without active tax management.
• One account has active tax management and has benefited from 0.81% of after-tax over-performance over the other account without active tax management.
• Average gross post-tax returns are assumed to be 6.29% which is the average post-tax return of a 60% SPY ETF and 40% AGG ETF portfolio for last 10 years (from 2007 until 2017). Gross returns imply returns without considering management fees.

This chart depicts the historical investment performance of a portfolio or index including capital appreciation/depreciation, dividends and other investment income. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Estimated returns are derived from simulated models or historical back tests and scenario analysis when sufficient historical data is unavailable. These hypothetical returns do not reflect actual trading and therefore do not account for market risks, economic conditions, taxes, fees or expenses.

While calculating wealth creation estimates and projections, it is assumed a portfolio will grow cumulatively at the average annual rate of return (not actual rate of return) of the portfolio of securities input during the holding period from Jan 2007 until approximately the date of the report or chart displayed (the ā€œBacktest Periodā€).
