SAM's 2023 Estimated Taxes Saved or Deferred Report

SAM's 2023 Estimated Taxes Saved or Deferred Report

Last year, the average client of SAM users saved or deferred taxes equal to 1.68% of the value of assets that were actively tax-managed.1

The total taxes saved in 2023 was $13,615,148.36.

SAM's parent company, Smartleaf, Inc., conducted a study in cooperation with Altium Wealth Management, a user, like SAM, of Smartleaf's automated tax-optimization system. The study sought to answer the question “what percentage of accounts had tax savings or deferrals greater than their fees?"

The answer: 68% of their accounts saved or deferred more in taxes than paid in fees, with that number rising to 90% on a dollar-weighted basis. Read the full case study here.
