  • The wealthy favor private equity and credit (and private placement life insurance) for higher returns with no taxes. If you're worth $1 million, you can, too.

The article from Kiplinger discusses strategies for wealthy investors to minimize or eliminate taxes on their investment gains. It highlights the use of tax-advantaged accounts like Roth IRAs, where qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), which offer triple tax advantages: tax-deductible contributions, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. The piece also explores the benefits of investing in municipal bonds, which provide tax-exempt interest income, and the use of tax-loss harvesting to offset capital gains. Additionally, it mentions the importance of estate planning tools like Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) and Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) to pass wealth to heirs with minimal tax impact. The article emphasizes that while these strategies can significantly reduce tax liabilities, they require careful planning and often the guidance of financial advisors to navigate the complex tax laws effectively.
