Tired of Taxes? Look for Tax-Friendly Funds
Many investors are surprised that they owe taxes on income and gains realized by funds they own. After all, they reason, they haven't received any checks. By law, however, funds must distribute their income and gains to shareholders. And somebody (read: the investor) has to foot the tax bill.
The surefire way to avoid taxes, of course, is to keep your funds in a tax-deferred account. If you do hold funds in taxable accounts, however, you should look for tax-efficient funds in order to minimize your tax bill.
One of the best ways to find tax-friendly funds, says Christine Benz, Morningstar's director of mutual fund analysis, is to look for "tax-managed" in the fund's name. Managers of tax-managed funds try to minimize shareholders' tax burdens by offsetting capital gains with capital losses in the portfolio and avoiding investments that generate ordinary income.
Morningstar Library Edition provides a quick and easy way for users to analyze a fund's tax efficiency. Look up any mutual fund report in Morningstar and click on the Tax Analysis tab in the left-hand column.
Here you'll see returns before and after taxes. You'll also see how the fund's before-tax and after-tax returns stack up against the rest of its category. Further, the Tax Cost Ratio measures how much a fund's annualized return is reduced by the taxes investors pay on distributions. For example, if a fund had a 2% Tax Cost Ratio for the three-year time period, it means that on average each year, investors in that fund lost 2% of their assets to taxes. A score of 0% represents the most tax-efficient funds, and 5% the worst.
An even easier way to find tax-efficient funds is to use the preset screen already in Morningstar Library Edition. Just click here to log in to Morningstar. (Provide your library card barcode number and PIN.) Select Screeners, then click on the white box labeled "Morningstar Screens." Open the "Select Screen" box at the top. Select "Aftertax Stars." It's that simple. So, whenever you find yourself grumbling about taxes, just know that you can use Morningstar Library Edition to find funds that won't tax your wallet.
If you would like more information about how you can access Morningstar, please click here or call the Library at 826-3712.

Sport a love of movies this April
Sports movies touch the hearts and souls of the audience in ways that so many other films cannot. One of the great things about sports movies is that they appeal to such a wide audience. They might be chick flicks like Fever Pitch or Stick It, inspirational like We Are Marshall or Coach Carter, comedies like Bad News Bears and The Longest Yard, or dramas like Million Dollar Baby and Friday Night Lights.
Whether it is a tale of the team of misfits who rise to win the championship, a story about how loving the same sport can bring two people together, or the recounting of the life of some our our greatest sports legends, not much can move an audience to their feet or to tears faster than a sports story. We have hundreds of movies that follow dozens of sports--golf, track and field, baseball, hockey, football, soccer, just to name a few--and we are giving them the spotlight this month on our movie display.
