Betterment to Personalize Strategies for Investors Seeking After-Tax Yield

The Goldman Sachs Tax-Smart Bonds portfolio is designed for Betterment clients in higher tax brackets, who want to access a tax-smart bond strategy which is potentially lower risk than equity investing. While high-interest cash savings products can be beneficial for shorter-term needs, taxes can reduce yields over time. This new portfolio offers short-duration bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with holdings that Betterment will personalize for its customers based on their tax situation.

By combining short-duration US Treasury bonds, high-quality corporate bonds and municipal bond ETFs, Goldman Sachs designed this innovative strategy to marry longer-term trends with current bond market conditions, rather than maintaining static allocations over time. This approach can adjust the strategy for events that might create volatility such as the COVID-19 pandemic and US debt ceiling debates. The portfolio strategy considers market conditions and taxable equivalent yields monthly, and Betterment may make adjustments, based on individual tax brackets, as appropriate. Betterment then personalizes portfolio allocations for its clients' individual tax situations to seek to generate higher after-tax yield.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Goldman Sachs to bring an innovative bond portfolio to Betterment customers," said Sarah Levy, CEO of Betterment. "We continue to work tirelessly to provide investment products that support our customers in their long-term wealth-building journey."

"It is important for investors seeking to create and safeguard long-term wealth to consider after-tax returns in their portfolios," said Padideh Raphael, Global Head of Third Party Wealth at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. "This latest collaboration, combining Goldman Sachs's investment capabilities with Betterment's innovative technology platform and customer-first approach, will allow us to work together on behalf of clients who seek attractive after-tax bond yields."
