Optimal asset location and allocation with taxable and tax-deferred investing

Deskripsi

We investigate optimal intertemporal asset allocation and location decisions for investors making taxable and tax-deferred investments.

For most investors, the optimal asset location policy is robust to the introduction of tax-exempt bonds and liquidity shocks..Printed Journal
