Introducing “The Tax Efficient Portfolio”
Russell Investments “Intelligent Diversification with Efficient Implementation”
- Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Seattle, WA, Russell Investments is a brand manager specializing in global allocation, broadly diversified, multi-manager portfolios.
- Russell adopts a unique investment approach in which they utilize specific investment managers through a rigorous selection process to represent different asset classes within their asset allocation models.
- Another unique feature is their tax-managed models use tax-exempt bonds, tax-managed equity, and real assets allocations – applying a more holistic approach to tax efficiency.
- They offer standard and tax-managed allocation strategies across the risk spectrum using their proprietary Russell funds, which follow the methodology described above.
- These strategies are designed to represent an overall portfolio’s core holdings and are generally more passive and diversified in nature. However, their utilization of active managers and a tax-efficient approach creates additional performance potential.
PIMCO “The Premier Active Bond Manager”
- PIMCO, often recognized as one of the world’s premier fixed income managers, was founded in 1971 and is headquartered in Newport Beach, CA.
- Their investment philosophy utilizes top-down forward-looking investment views to determine allocations, while a detailed bottom-up research process ensures enhanced security selection for individual bonds.
- This approach, combined with a robust risk analytics infrastructure, helps build reliability and investor confidence, integral for lower risk diversifiers such as PIMCO’s income strategies.
- PIMCO has a series of three fixed income strategies of varying risk exposures, utilizing their proprietary PIMCO mutual funds, that come in both taxable and tax-aware versions, which leverage more municipal bond funds.
- Given their focus on actively managed fixed income, these strategies pair well with more passive and broadly diversified options and those with higher risk, which may allocate more to equities.
