2.99% reflects the estimated average tax savings for accounts that received a tax savings report between Q12022 and Q32022 using 55ip’s tax-smart technology. 2.82% reflects the estimated annualized average tax savings for accounts that received a tax savings report for the period from Q12020 to the current quarter using 55ip’s tax-smart technology. The estimated annualized average tax savings is based on an arithmetic mean of each quarterly tax savings. The quarterly tax savings of all accounts in a respective quarter are added together and divided by the number of years represented. The aggregate tax savings percentage for each quarter is taken as an average and annualized to determine the estimated annualized average tax savings referred to above.
Calculation Methodology: Average tax savings are calculated by comparing the actual activity of the client’s account with a fictitious account created by 55ip. The practice account has the same creation date and is invested in the same model as the client’s real account, but does not incorporate 55ip’s tax-smart technology for rebalancing. Gains and losses are accounted for both the real account and the client’s fictitious account to produce the estimated tax bill. The tax rate applied to the client’s real account and to the fictitious account is provided by the client’s adviser. If no tax rate is provided, the highest applicable federal tax rate (20% for long-term gains/losses and 37% for short-term gains/losses) is assumed and a rate of The additional 3.8% net tax on investment income is applied to both accounts. The estimated tax bill of the customer’s real account is then compared to the estimated tax bill of the dummy account, and the deficiency of the old amount corresponds to the customer’s estimated tax savings. There is no guarantee that the estimated tax and subsequent projected tax savings will equal the actual tax liability/tax savings realized by the customer.
