002: Taxing Equity Returns Annually as Ordinary Income is JUST PLAIN NUTZ

In this episode of Advisor Masterclass: Timeless Wisdom For Financial Advisors, we dig into a critical issue often overlooked by financial advisors: the pitfalls of default tax settings in financial planning tools. Many tools assume a 100% portfolio turnover rate, projecting equity returns as if they’re taxed at ordinary income rates annually. We break down why this assumption is wildly inaccurate, how it can significantly impact clients’ long-term projections, and what you can do to adjust for more realistic outcomes. Listen in for practical strategies on fine-tuning these settings, building trust with clients, and optimizing projections to serve your clients’ interests better.
