FYI: Tax-loss harvesting is a popular theme among ETF investors this time of year.
The idea is that you can sell securities that have lost value in your portfolio this year to offset any taxes you might have incurred on capital gains from securities that performed well.
ETFs are tax-friendly vehicles that rarely report capital gains to begin with, but there are still opportunities to implement tax-loss harvesting within ETF portfolios.
