Investment Strategy Services
for Tax-Smart Portfolios

Do you need investment strategy services that match your tax return?

An investment strategy functions at an optimum level when it is well-documented, has a  measurable nature and easy to recognize. At Dimov Tax, we custom-design the planning and taxation to work side by side.

What do investment strategy services cover?

Investment strategy services establish the structure for how the portfolio is built & monitored and adjusted over time. Clients get a target mix and a repeatable decision process along with a tax-aware view of the action scenarios.

This work is part of our CFP services, so the focus stays dedicated on the specific goals and constraints — not a one-size template.

When should you ask for this kind of planning?

Clients should consider such a service when their current investing feels improvised or inconsistent. The general scenarios are presented below:

  • Having cash sitting on the sidelines — with no clear entry plan
  • Accounts look fine one by one — yet they do not work well as a group
  • Holding a concentrated position and desire to a safer way to spread risk
  • Paying more tax on gains and distributions than expected
  • Market swings are pushing toward emotional decisions

How do we build the plan from your risk profile?

Our professionals start by turning the risk tolerance assessment into specific portfolio rules that can actually be used. We obtain a simple process as outlined below:

  1. Discovery — goals, time horizon, liquidity needs, upcoming life changes and how you define success for this portfolio
  2. Communication — how often you want reviews and whether you prefer email or calls or video
  3. Advisor history — if you’ve worked with an advisor before, what you liked and what you want done distinctly
  4. Inventory — list accounts, current holdings, restrictions and the latest tax return — or year-end tax documents — for tax-aware placement
  5. Risk profile — confirm the risk range you can live with and the return needed for the target
  6. Asset allocation — set a target mix that fully complies with the profile and the timeline
  7. Portfolio construction — select the building blocks and define what “diversified” means for you
  8. Risk management rules — set limits for position size & cash levels and concentration
  9. Portfolio rebalancing plan — pick bands and review dates in order for adjustments to happen with discipline

What does tax-efficient investing look like in practice?

Tax-efficient investing focuses on lowering the tax drag without changing the intent of the portfolio. The optimal approach varies in parallel to where the money is held and how often a trade is needed.

SituationPractical actionTax result
Taxable brokerage accountFavor low-turnover, broad index exposureFewer taxable distributions
Holding with an unrealized lossConsider selling and replacing with a similar positionPotential capital loss to offset gains
Concentrated stock positionLeverage a staged sale plan linked with brackets and holding periodsBetter control over realized gains
Income-heavy holdingsPlace them in the account type that makes sense for your tax profileImproved after-tax yield

How should rebalancing be handled?

Portfolio rebalancing should simply be generated by rules — not headlines. A simple approach is to rebalance when the allocation drifts outside set bands or when a cash event creates imbalance. The triggers might be outlined as below:

  • A strong market move shifts the portfolio away from the target
  • A large deposit or sale or withdrawal changes weights
  • A concentrated holding grows beyond the agreed limit

Clients receive a concise package they can reference all year as listed below:

  • A one-page summary of the target mix and the reasoning behind it
  • A holdings blueprint presenting what belongs in each account
  • Rebalancing bands & review timing and what counts as a “do nothing” zone
  • A tax checklist for sales and cost basis as well as timing considerations

FAQs

How much do these services cost?

Plans start from $480. The final fee varies in line with the depth of analysis and ongoing support — and you’ll receive pricing details upfront.

Do you offer a one-time plan or ongoing investment strategy services?

Yes — start with a written investment strategy — then add periodic reviews for portfolio rebalancing once circumstances change.

How do you set asset allocation across taxable and retirement accounts?

We review all accounts together & place each slice of the asset allocation — where it supports tax-efficient investing at an optimum level.

What does “portfolio construction” actually mean?

It’s choosing the specific holdings that fill each role in the plan. Therefore, the portfolio is diversified on purpose.

What if my risk tolerance changes after a big market move?

We revisit the risk tolerance assessment & adjust risk management rules. So, the plan still feels workable.

How do I know when to rebalance without guessing the market?

You’ll have simple generators that tell you when to rebalance & when to leave the portfolio alone.
