What does tax efficiency mean in terms of portfolio management?

Tax efficient portfolio management requires diligent monitoring of the consequences of each investment decision along with awareness of long and short term strategy. For example, when an investment is sold can make the difference between paying the higher taxes associated with a short-term gain or the more modest tax rate of a long-term gain. And, when gains are realized, The Family Heritage Trust utilizes tax harvesting and looks for ways to offset these gains with potential losses.
