Working Paper
Limitation on Trader Fund Losses under the CARES Act of 2020
March 3, 2021
This paper provides a simple unifying framework for value and momentum effects in asset pricing based on the present value model. Backing out reliable expected returns from the present value model requires valuation ratios that adjust for expected future earnings growth. We show empirically that stock price momentum forecasts future growth, helps to improve value’s forecast for expected returns, and is drowned out when accounting for realized growth.

Preservation and transfer of wealth to future generations is one of the central financial goals for most high-net-worth families. We show that a family that invests with income and estate tax efficiency in mind can achieve substantially higher wealth levels than a family oblivious to taxes.
White Paper
Understanding a Tax-Aware Defensive Equity Long-Short Strategy
April 17, 2020
We describe a hypothetical Tax-Aware Defensive Equity Long-Short strategy, including its construction and pre-tax and after-tax performance.

The Tax Benefits of Relaxing the Long-Only Constraint: Do They Come from Character or Deferral?
October 15, 2018
Are there tax benefits from relaxation of the long-only constraint? If so, what are the sources? To answer these questions, we decompose the total tax benefit (or liability) of a strategy into two components.

Journal Article
Partnership Allocations and Their Effects on Tax-Aware Fund Investors
May 1, 2018
We discuss certain accounting principles relevant for investors in tax-aware funds structured as limited partnerships. We present a simple stylized model that illustrates that under such accounting principles new investors do not materially suffer from unrealized gains accumulated in a tax-aware fund.
