A Guide to Tax Management and ActivePassive PMC ETF Portfolios Envestnet PMC now offers Fund Strategist Tax Management for all ActivePassive PMC ETF Portfolio accounts at no additional cost.* Check out the hypothetical case study below to see how we do it. Sample Client Scenario Our Sample Client in this case study is an individual with a portfolio consisting of mostly individual stocks with a few bonds. They currently have an 87.5% equity/12.5% fixed income portfolio and are comfortable with that ratio but are worried about the risks of holding individual stocks and the tax implications. Current Portfolio Equity: 87.5% Fixed Income: 12.5% Tax Consequences of Transition Portfolio Value Cost Basis Capital Gains Potential Taxes** $213,000 $163,000 $50,000 ($8,700) **Assuming 17.5% capital gains tax rate. Selecting the Strategy We offer 7 different portfolios across the risk scale for each of our ActivePassive PMC ETF Portfolios. Our Sample Client has stated their risk tolerance at the Diversified Equity w Income level (86/14). Selecting the Tax Sensitivity Based on the Sample Client current portfolio and cost basis, they'll select their tax sensitivity based on our three levels: Very High High Moderate Below is the breakdown of the Sample Client tracking error and tax bill at each sensitivity level as well as if they were to choose no tax management. Because the Sample Client is tax sensitive but also wary of straying too far from their model, they chose to go with the high tax sensitivity option. The Personalized Outcome After going through this process, the Sample Client is ready to transition their current portfolio into their new model. Their resulting portfolio is the ActivePassive PMC ETF Portfolio - Diversified Equity w/ Income with a high tax sensitivity.

Performance results will be reduced by fees including, but not limited to, investment management fees and other costs such as custodial, reporting, evaluation and advisory services. A description of all fees, costs and expenses are found in a financial advisor's Disclosure Brochure. The information, analysis, and opinions expressed herein are for general and educational purposes only. Nothing contained in this brochure is intended to constitute legal, tax, accounting, securities, or investment advice, nor an opinion regarding the appropriateness of any investment, nor a solicitation of any type. All investments carry a certain risk, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. An investor may experience loss of principal. The asset classes and/or investment strategies described may not be suitable for all investors and investors should consult with an investment advisor to determine the appropriate investment vehicle. Investment decisions should always be made based on the investor's specific financial needs and objectives, goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investments in smaller companies carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as volatility of earnings and prospects, higher failure rates, and limited markets, product lines or financial resources. Investing overseas involves special risks, including the volatility of currency exchange rates and, in some cases, limited geographic focus, political and economic instability, and relatively illiquid markets. Income (bond) funds are subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities in a fund's portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. Neither Envestnet, Envestnet | PMC™ nor its representatives render tax, accounting or legal advice. Any tax statements contained herein are not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal, state, or local tax penalties. Taxpayers should always seek advice based on their own particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. Client must carefully determine if the use of tax overlay services is appropriate for their circumstances, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. Tax management services are limited in scope and are not designed to permanently eliminate taxes in the account. In providing tax overlay services, Envestnet will allow Client's account to deviate from Client's selected investment strategy. Client's account may experience significant performance differences from the selected investment strategy due to Client's selection of tax overlay services. Envestnet makes no guarantee that the account's performance will be within any range of the selected investment strategy or the strategy´s benchmark. If Client subsequently disables tax overlay services this may result in the recognition of significant capital gains. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or guarantee protection against losses. FOR ONE-ON-ONE USE WITH A CLIENT'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR ONLY. ©2025 Envestnet, Inc. All rights reserved.
