| Taxes can erode even the best fund's returns. Generally, when an investment does not require investors to pay taxes during the period of ownership, the investment is generally more tax efficient. Because of their unique in-kind structure, ETFs may serve as a tax-efficient investment tool for shareholders who wish to defer capital gains until the point of sale. |
