Tax management has been at the heart of Parametric’s passively managed Custom Core® solutions since 1992—but it doesn’t stop there. You can use our new Custom Active solutions to apply a tax-management overlay to your active allocation. Our rules-based approach aims to identify the best opportunities for tax-loss harvesting, providing you with powerful tax-management capabilities throughout the year.

As a pioneer in tax-managed investing, Parametric has spent the past three decades refining its algorithm, processes and technology and continues to do so today. We have considerable experience in executing thousands of strategy transitions and managing complex portfolios through multiple market cycles and high-volatility events.
