The Importance of Tax Planning

There’s a reason why tax planning is a key component to the planning process at Oliver Asset Management. Too often, people focus solely on growing their portfolio another three to five percent, which is important, but it’s much more difficult to make up for a 15-20% tax hit that could have been avoided by proper planning.Today we want to look a little closer at the tax planning process and how it differs from the tax preparation we do every year in April.
