Which funds to use with non-qualified money?
13 RepliesJump to last post
For clients that don’t want to lock up their money until 59.5 and have lots of non-qualified dollars, what do you reps do to grow their cash?
Non traded REITs have been a huge part of my business over the years for both qualified and non qualified accounts. But they’re good for non qualified since some of the income is not 1099’d and the yields crush CD rates. Even though a few of the REITs have had to lower dividends or cut off redemptions, they’ve still been great.
Other than that, if your client has “lots” of n/q dollars I’d say some tax free muni funds or bonds would be appropriate. Maybe use some fee based managers that are tax conscious and will tax harvest if requested.
I wouldn’t say “lots of dollars” I don’t think he’s in a high enough bracket to put him into a tax free muni bond fund because he’s only 31, but he does have $50k of CD money that he doesn’t need to use. Any recommendations? Looking a fund with low turnover rates/mostly long term distributions.
I like BSV or SHM. You can have other (equity) indexes in your nq wrap to justify your advice and fees. No ticket charge to client.
Don't rule out munis just because the tax bracket is low - it still represents an important investment class in terms of potential performance, quality, and so on. Show and tell about the dividends sweeping to cash. http://www.milyunair.com/I have been srprised by the performance of some of Federated’s tax-managed funds the past year.
Yes, let’s lock someone up for 15 years in an EIA! Terrible option. Remember, he specifically asked which funds to use with NQ money implying he was looking for something tax efficient. An annuity doesn’t fit the bill for this especially an EIA.[/quote][quote=BioFreeze]Indexed Annuities.
Says a guy who can’t sell them… by the way they have 5 year EIAs also…

Says a guy who can't sell them.. by the way they have 5 year EIAs also..[/quote] Yes I know those 5 year EIA's exist, but those aren't the ones those indie insurance agents sell. Oh let's see should I sell the 5 year product to the 75 year old and get 4% or the 15 year product and get 10%?? By the way we have EIA's at WFA. Matter of fact they are the 5 year products that we have, but my point is that and EIA isn't the answer to the ?? he was asking since he said the person wanted to grow their money and are obviously concerned about taxes and that would imply that they are concerned about taxes when they pull out the money also!![/quote] Wouldn't the money be tied up until he's 59.5? Earnings would get a 10% penalty, wouldn't they?

That would make this the worst possible recommendation.

If he’s not in a high enough tax bracket to benefit from Munis I doubt the money he’ll make off a 50k mutual fund buy is going to impact him that much. I’d worry less about the tax implications and more about growing it so he MUST pay taxes on those monies.
Unless that’s a major concern of his and if so MUNI and uses the interest to get into the market.
Brinker Capital’s Destinations has a nice program for non-qualified money. I don’t think Jones guys can sell it thouh…
the Non-traded REIT’s have been one new york asian escort of the best investments I’ve used
in my new york escort career. Great income and stability for portfolios and
realistically a double didget total return once the REIT goes full
cycle. I’ve sold two REIT’s that have new york asian escorts had liquidity events and both
have provided great overall returns to shareholders. It’s also something your wirehouse/EDJ guys can’t sell so new york escorts just another way to differentiate yourself from them. And they pay quite nice to boot.
