  • I am thinking of utilizing RPHYX for some cash in a taxable brokerage account. I used this fund in retirement account so I did not care much about tax efficiency and cost base accounting. But in a taxable account one needs to be more careful not to be surprised.

    Any tips on using RPHYX in a taxable account?
  • In terms of general tax efficiency, it's like any other short term bond fund - the divs are ordinary income and share price fluctuates mildly.

    My approach to handling cost basis with short term bond funds is:
    • Send divs to a MMF or bank account (do not reinvest) - to avoid creating a monthly small lot nightmare
    • Set the account to use specific lot identification - for full control, to optimize recognition of cap gains
    • Sell as needed in mid size blocks and use MMF or bank as buffer - to avoid a nearly daily stream of tiny transactions; identify lots appropriate for your cap gains objective
    • Purchase in larger blocks - simplifies identifying lots when selling
    P.S. I haven't seen you posting in years. Welcome back.
  • Thanks, yes, I do not want to deal with small lot nightmares (especially since I am the one doing the taxes at home!)

    This is in a a Fidelity brokerage account. Cash goes directly into SPAXX (Fidelity Government Money Market). For me, it is OK if dividends go there.

    I just checked this account is setup for actual cost for stocks/etfs/options and fixed income (and can be changed) but for Mutual Funds it is average cost (and cannot be changed). Curiously, for my Roth and Rollover IRA, mutual funds are setup for actual cost.

    I have to reach out to Fidelity support to see if mutual fund in taxable account can be changed to actual cost as well. Maybe I should have done when the account was first opened before funding it.
  • Since I have a Fidelity taxable account that is set up for actual cost, I can say without fear of contradiction that this is possible.

    Most of my accounts are set up for actual cost basis. One that isn't is a CMA account. Curiously I also don't see an option online to convert it to actual cost basis. That might be because all I keep in it is mad money (cash to feed the ATM). Or it could be a bug in Fidelity's system.

    Definitely call Fidelity and insist that the account be set up for actual cost basis.
    account owners or their investment advisors can instruct Fidelity to determine the cost basis for securities, including shares of open-end mutual funds in nonretirement accounts, in one of two ways: 1) setting up their accounts with one of our 11 tax lot disposal methods available to investors and converting cost basis for mutual funds from average cost to lot-level accounting, or 2) identifying specific tax lots to sell at the time of a transaction (available to clients who have previously converted from the average cost method to a lot-level method).

    Do you think that low distribution was a one-off and income will return to the usual (if fluctuating) levels when the fund is closed? Like several others I've been mulling over this fund for months but never pulled the trigger. Thanks.

  • I bought RPHIX in 2021, as a CD like alternative, for my cash holdings at Schwab. I do not expect it to make an impressive total return for my investment, but my experience thus far, is that it has done a good job of exceeding the total return that my bank has been paying for savings, HY checking, CDs, etc. and it is fluid enough for me to access the holdings when needed. Of course there are no absolute principal protections which will scare off many investors.
  • Interesting that Schwab shows the fund closed today, a day ahead of the official closing. That's significant because Schwab allowed one to get in with a $2500 min.

    Now that investors will have to go directly to RiverPark to open an account, they won't be able to get the cheaper shares for anything less than $50K.
