Sounds crazy - but this strategy changed my life
I was working at a multifamily office when I got exposed to tax‑aware long/short right as it was getting started.
It was obvious this was going to completely change how we (should) approach wealth management.
Then the thought occurred to me - why not build a firm that specializes in tax-aware investing?
Because once you see it, you realize:
• Real estate has incredible tax advantages
• Tax-aware hedge funds are something out of this world
• Structures like no distribution ETFs, 351 conversions, 721 exchanges, PPLI, cash balance plans, box spread loans, the list goes on
And when you layer in planning around:
• Concentrated stock
• Business sales
• Large IRAs / RMD avoidance
…you can provide obscene amounts of value to taxable families.
That’s why QFS was born.
