CFA Level III Portfolio Management
#1

Is there a mistake on the solution for this question? It is asking you,

  1. An investor is evaluating various assets and strategies for her portfolio. Based solely on tax effects, determine which of the following investments would most likely be favored in a Heavy Interest Tax Regime. A. Growth stocks with high turnover. B. Bonds with periodic payment of interest. C. Value stocks held for a long period of time.

The answer is C, but i picked A because growth stocks tend to pay lower dividends so wouldn’t that be better during a heavy interest tax regime?

#2

Heavy interest tax regime has flavor treatment for both dividend and capital gain so difference btw A&C is long term hold or high turnover. High frequence trading pay more tax i think

#3

High turnover generates more taxes than dividends , which are typically only 2-4% per annum for most stocks

#4

stocks doesn’t pay you interest.

#5

my bad. Misread the question. got it!
