Common use cases

When to consider a tax-aware long-short strategy

Diversify a concentrated position

Reduce concentration gradually while generating tax offsets, without selling all at once.

Offset realized capital gains

Harvest losses to offset gains from stock sales, RSUs, or fund distributions, with any excess carried forward.

Prepare for a liquidity event

Build potential tax offsets ahead of an IPO or planned diversification, in coordination with the client's tax advisor.

Manage ongoing tax drag

Keep generating harvestable losses across market cycles, including rising markets, where direct indexing runs dry.

Extensions offered

Choose the extension that fits the mandate

Larger extensions can accelerate loss harvesting but carry more risk. We size each to the client's objectives and tolerance. Options vary by custodian.

Risks to understand

Higher flexibility carries higher responsibility

Higher risk

Extensions use margin borrowing and short sales, which increase risk, especially in volatile markets.

Performance variability

Returns may deviate from the benchmark, especially at higher extension levels.

Losses are not guaranteed

Loss harvesting is not guaranteed and varies with market conditions.
