SEI Launches Investor Tax Savings Report for Advisors: Tech Roundup

SEI has introduced an “Estimated Taxes Saved” report for independent financial advisors. Offered by Independent Advisor Solutions by SEI, the investor report “provides a snapshot of estimated taxes saved through automated tax loss harvesting and reporting of the most recent business day’s data,” the firm said.

Each report is specific to individual client accounts employing a SEI tax-managed exchange-traded fund strategy or tax overlay management across equity portfolios in SEI’s Managed Account Solutions program. The report will enable independent financial advisors to have “more timely and relevant conversations with clients about their estimated tax savings,” SEI said.

Advisors can now run an automated report across a variety of time periods, including the prior month, quarter, year or year-to-date. The Estimated Taxes Saved report highlights:

• A summary of account gains and losses broken down by strategy and dollar amount
• Transactions for any losses that are contributing to the estimated taxes saved value
• Calculated dollar values based upon the loss of a transaction multiplied by the long- or short-term tax rate assigned to the account.
