Parametric Launches Tax Harvest Core Separately Managed Accounts

SEATTLE, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), the leading separately managed account (SMA) manager,¹ today announced the launch of Parametric Tax Harvest Core, extending the range of tax-managed SMA solutions offered by Parametric to financial advisors and investors. Parametric Tax Harvest Core is designed to meet the needs of U.S. taxable investors with portfolios of $100,000 or above, a lower minimum than most tax-managed custom SMAs available today.

"Parametric pioneered tax-managed equity SMA investing in 1992 with the introduction of Parametric Custom Core® individual separate accounts. Since then – in all market environments – we've partnered with advisors to help their clients maximize after-tax returns," said Rob Ciro, Managing Director, Product Management, at Parametric. "As we look to expand upon our market leading position in the direct indexing industry, we are introducing Tax Harvest Core to bring the benefits of tax-managed custom SMAs to more advisors and a greater number of their clients."

Parametric Tax Harvest Core delivers ongoing tax management and sector-level customization to two portfolio strategies: one benchmarked to the S&P 500 and the other benchmarked to the Russell 3000. By investing in sector ETFs, Parametric Tax Harvest Core portfolios seek to minimize tracking error versus the applicable benchmark and to enhance after-tax performance through systematic tax-loss harvesting and other tax management. ETFs are selected for inclusion based on tracking error, expense and liquidity considerations.

With Parametric Tax Harvest Core, advisors and their clients have the ability to customize each portfolio by restricting sectors, funding positions with cash or in-kind, and accessing tax-efficient, charitable giving options. On-demand reporting of pre-tax and after-tax performance, portfolio gains and losses, and tracking error versus benchmark is also available.

"Parametric Tax Harvest Core provides investors the opportunity to get more from their investments in a risk-controlled and cost-controlled manner," said Mr. Ciro. "The end result we seek is better after-tax returns for clients."
