FYI: Is your ETF setting you up for a visit from the tax man? That’s the question Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research at S&P Capital IQ, answered in a note published today.
Normally, exchange-traded funds are more tax efficient than mutual funds. Because of low turnover rates and the way ETF shares are created and redeemed limit, ETFs amass fewer capital gains.
