Tax-Efficient Investing in Orange County, NY
Be Intentional About What You Keep After Taxes.

At Cammareri Wealth Management Group, we help individuals and families in Orange County, NY and beyond design tax-efficient investing strategies that coordinate account types, investment choices, and withdrawal plans so your portfolio works smarter, not just harder.
Tax-Efficient Investing, Made Clear
Turn a Messy Tax Picture Into a Plan You Understand
Different accounts and investments are taxed in different ways, and it’s easy to end up with a patchwork of decisions made at different times. Our role is to bring clarity to that picture—showing you how taxes interact with your investments today and over time, so you can make informed choices instead of guessing.
Grounded in our five core commitments—communication, consolidation, customized strategies, comprehensive planning, and long-term commitment—we help you see your entire portfolio on one page. Then we structure investments and account usage in a way that’s designed to support your goals while being thoughtful about taxes along the way.
Three Foundations of Tax-Efficient Investing
Tax-efficient investing doesn’t have to be complicated. We focus on three foundations that can make a meaningful difference over time:
Know Where Each Dollar Lives
We begin by mapping out your accounts—taxable brokerage, traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, Roth accounts, and other investments. Understanding which dollars are pre-tax, after-tax, or tax-free is the first step toward making smarter decisions about what goes where and when you should use it.
Match Investments to the Right Account
Once we see the full picture, we help align investment types with the accounts that make the most sense for them from a tax perspective. That often means placing tax-inefficient investments—like certain bond funds or actively traded strategies—in tax-advantaged accounts, and using taxable accounts more thoughtfully for long-term, tax-friendlier holdings.
Coordinate Tax Decisions With Your Bigger Plan
Tax-efficient investing isn’t just about this year’s bill. We look at your long-term goals, retirement timeline, and legacy wishes, then coordinate decisions like realizing gains, harvesting losses when appropriate, and planning withdrawals so the tax impact fits within your overall financial plan—not at odds with it.
Key Areas We Help You Plan For
Understanding How Different Accounts Are Taxed
We help you understand the basic tax rules for your accounts—how interest, dividends, and capital gains are treated in taxable accounts, how withdrawals from traditional IRAs and 401(k)s are taxed as income, and how Roth accounts can create tax-free flexibility later on. When you understand the rules, it’s easier to make confident decisions.
Positioning Investments for Tax Awareness
Some investments naturally generate more taxable activity than others. We review the mix of funds, individual securities, and strategies you hold, then help position them in a way that considers both your risk profile and your tax picture. The goal is not perfection, but thoughtful positioning that quietly works in your favor over time.
Planning When to Realize Gains and Harvest Losses
Realizing gains at the wrong time can create avoidable tax bills. We help you think through when to trim or diversify concentrated positions, how to manage capital gains around your income and tax bracket, and when it may make sense to harvest losses to offset gains as part of an ongoing, disciplined process.
Coordinating With Retirement and Distribution Strategies
Tax-efficient investing and retirement income planning go hand in hand. We connect your investment decisions with how you’ll eventually draw from taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free accounts in retirement, so the structure you build today supports future withdrawal and tax strategies—not just short-term performance.
Supporting Charitable and Legacy Goals
If giving to family or charities is part of your plan, we help you think through which assets may be best suited for gifts during life or at death from a tax perspective. That might include appreciated securities, certain account types, or coordinated strategies that align tax benefits with the impact you want to have.
