Most investment books only address pre-tax headline returns, but individuals pay taxes. The incentives and disincentives of our tax system can have a dramatic impact on actual investment time horizons and returns. The Manifesto sensibly folds tax incentives into investment strategy in ways that can add profound value over a lifetime to actual results. It includes guidance on: how to keep a greater percentage of your profits with a higher probability of success and less effort; why it's important to manage the intersection of investment, tax, and estate planning; and how to compete for better long-term investment returns against tax-exempt investors.
