Taxable accounts present some of the greatest challenges for managers. In developing portfolio policy and strategy, managers must take into account tax, legal, and (sometimes unique) client considerations, must integrate tax and estate planning with investment strategy, and often, must work with third parties to accomplish client goals. The authors in this proceedings tackles the complex issues that are specific to managing taxable portfolios with expertise and thoroughness. Proceedings of the November 1998 AIMR seminar "Investment Counseling for Taxable Investor."

Investment performance, whether of portfolios or individual managers, cannot be evaluated without a performance yardstick (i.e., a benchmark); however, selecting the wrong benchmark can be as damaging as poor portfolio management. The authors in this proceedings discuss what constitutes an appropriate benchmark, how to select appropriate benchmarks, and how to conduct attribution analysis, looking at both risk and return.
