Tax-Sensitive ETF Portfolios

New Frontier’s Tax-Sensitive ETF Portfolios are globally well-diversified and designed for long term after-tax return.

Taxes are considered at every step of our portfolio construction process. Michaud optimization includes tax implications as it creates the portfolios. The portfolios use ETFs, which provide more tax efficiency than mutual funds. We make every effort to structure our trade and rebalancing decisions to minimize tax effects of all kinds. Going from broad to specific, this includes avoiding trading without benefit, minimizing turnover, offsetting positive with negative capital gains, favoring small capital losses to capital gains, and favoring long term capital gains to short term.

The portfolios have a track record of fifteen years. They are available at six risk levels so that you can select the portfolios most suitable to your risk tolerance.  Each portfolio consists of fifteen to thirty ETFs.
