Tax-managed equity has evolved beyond the traditional long-only playbook. By adding selective shorts and leverage, 130/30 active extension strategies aim to unlock higher alpha while maintaining market-level beta—plus potentially meaningful after-tax benefits through disciplined loss harvesting. Where can this approach fit in portfolios today? On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with Ray Carroll, CIO of Neuberger Berman's Breton Hill quantitative investing team, and Jacob Greene, Head Strategist for Custom Direct Investing, to demystify 130/30 tax-managed portfolios and where they work best—from diversifying single-stock concentrations to preparing for large taxable events, with global considerations beyond the U.S. This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.
