Large year-end Mutual Fund Distribution - Don't reinvest to pay taxes?

Post by JMS3272 »

Hi All,

I'm getting a large unexpected mutual fund capital gain distribution at the end of the year. I have no losses to offset it with. I will need to sell stock/mutual fund at a gain in order to come up with the money to pay the tax on the distribution. Is there any downside to NOT reinvesting the large year-end capital gains distribution and using the distribution $ to pay the hefty tax bill? I could reinvest whatever is leftover after setting aside the amount for the tax.

Thanks!

I see only upsides from not reinvesting.

Yes, just take the distribution, retain enough to pay the tax and reinvest the rest.

This post emphasizes a benefit of VTSAX that has not to my knowledge distributed capital gains in over two decades. This may not last forever but as long as it does it is a significant tax benefit for those who hold it, which includes many of not the majority of Boglehead 3-funders (or 2-funders).
Have a plan, stay the course and simplify. Then ignore the noise!

Yes, the Vanguard mutual funds that also have an ETF as a share class can use in-kind redemptions to ETF shareholders in order to flush out low-basis shares from the fund to make those capital gains disappear.

Even for other index mutual funds that don't have this feature, there tend to be low to no capital gain distributions. It looks like Fidelity's Total Market fund doesn't expect to make a distribution this year, and Schwab's will be about 0.3% of NAV, compared to the 5%+ that might happen for an active fund.

Some of Vanguard’s actively managed funds announced 8-10% capital gains distributions for this year… :shock:

That is wild, it is higher than the actively managed Dividend Growth fund.

Anyone able to share a link or name of funds?

I have Wellington in my taxable account but do not automatically reinvest the dividends and gains.

Was thinking about selling before year end to avoid a large distribution. Probably sitting on $3k in gains on 25k balance.

Selling before year-end won't avoid the capital gain. The fund price decreases by the amount of the capital gain distribution, so if you sell after the distribution, the capital gain on your own sale is reduced by an equal amount. (Selling before rather than after may have a minor benefit if your own capital gain is all long-term while the gain distributed by the fund would be mostly short-term).

And not selling at all (until you need to sell for some other reason, such as spending the money or rebalancing) is likely still better for taxes, as your own shares are likely to have a capital gain even after the distribution, so the total gain on which you pay tax will be lower if you don't sell.

You mean that you now expect to receive a large mutual fund distribution?
Now that I have the habit of investing my savings, the wisdom of reinvesting dividends and capital gains escapes me.
It doesn't matter as much in tax advantaged accounts, and may be required for some accounts,
but in taxable accounts, reinvesting can lead to short term gains, non-qualified dividends, and wash-sale rule violations.

You do have to pay capital gain taxes, presumably at 15% rate, so would have at least 85% of the distribution to invest in a better mutual fund, maybe rebalance your asset allocation in an index fund, ETF, or a Tesla.

That's like putting the cart before the horse as they used to say.

First decide on your asset allocation. Even better is to write up an Investment policy statement. It should include your objectives and preferences, so you can decide between things like simplicity and tax-efficiency. And even decide what "keep it simple" means to you -- what does it mean to you? For some people, 20 different funds across 8 accounts is simple because they're comfortable using a spreadsheet to track things. For other people, only an all-in-one Target fund will do.

Then decide which asset class goes in which account type, for example using tax efficiency criteria, assuming that's your main preference.

If you prefer simplicity, and are willing to pay a price in terms of sub-optimal tax-efficiency, then your choices might be a tax-managed balanced fund - like Vanguard's Tax Managed Balanced fund with 49% stocks and 51% muni bonds.

Consider using the large year end distributions to seed a January contribution to your IRA's.

Just to clarify, are you saying Bogleheads would go 100% stock fund? I'm just thinking long-term, one fund to buy (if Target Retirement is not a good option in a taxable account). I'm 50 y/o, prob could retire in 5 years, but likely work longer. Thanks!

A lot of Bogleheads, even those who hold bonds, have all-stock taxable accounts. This doesn't create a liquidity problem; if you need money and want to sell bonds, you can sell stock in your taxable account, and move an equal amount from bonds to stock in your IRA or 401(k).

Depending on the size of your taxable account, you might be able to hold just one fund in your taxable account as part of a three-fund portfolio. That one fund would likely be Total Stock Market Index.

no, not saying that.

you "could" go 100% stock IN TAXABLE, while you have bonds in tax deferred.
You have to make sure your overall asset allocation is what you want it to be. It's the portfolio as a whole, not the individual pieces that matter.

you "could" have a mix of stock and bonds in taxable while interest rates are low, but not while rates are higher if you're trying to reduce taxable income.

there are different options. here's some thoughts on tax efficient placement:

This may be a good example of how confused people can get when pursuing the illusion of simplicity in holding one fund.

Once there is more than one type of account to deal with one fund assets are more rather than less complicated.

So, the answer to the question is that much of the time it makes sense to hold only stocks (and maybe an emergency fund*) in taxable and to hold stocks and bonds in tax deferred accounts. A Roth might hold only stocks as well because the growth is tax free. A person can hold bonds in taxable if they want, but life is a lot easier if that is done in its own fund.

*The emergency fund can also be all stocks because if you sell when stocks are down you can sell bonds and buy stocks in tax deferred to balance out. This assumes there is enough altogether to still have the need money if stocks crash.

Note at current conditions bonds are not at a tax disadvantage in taxable because the yields are so low. One should not assume that is a permanent condition.

One of my wrong high cost fund had such a large distribution this year that they split it in to two separate transactions! It was never done like that before. My calculations says over 25% in year end distribution!

Micro Cap Fund - WMICX
ST Cap Gain $ 0.999664
LT Cap Gains 1.897454
Total Cap Gain $ 2.897118
Re-investment price 8.80

The split is short-term (shares held one year or less) versus long-term; you pay tax at different rates on the two types of gains.

That's what you would expect for a micro-cap fund. Micro-cap funds get most of their return from companies that do very well and are no longer micro-caps. When the market goes up, they will have huge capital gains for selling those stocks.

Small-cap and micro-cap ETFs can avoid much of these distributions because of the ETF structure. But any small-cap mutual fund will have this problem with capital gains, even an index fund (except for Vanguard's funds with ETF share classes).

I suspect when investors panic on a down turn and then cash their chips which ends up fund declaring large distribution. But that is just my guess.

This is what I did a few years ago with a big cap gain distribution. I used this big cash windfall as a chance to do some rebalancing.

Sorry to hear about that. At least your username checks out.
