For years, real estate investors have taken advantage of using the 1031 like-kind exchange rules to defer capital gains tax when selling and reinvesting in real estate. Now, the opportunity zone (OZ) program offers favorable capital gain treatment that registered investment advisors (RIAs) can use to enhance their clients’ asset diversification and estate planning strategies. Given the OZ program is still relatively new and often misunderstood, now is the time to get ahead for 2019 tax return filing and provide your clients with tax-efficient strategies.

This webcast focuses on advanced strategies to advise your clients with substantial realized or unrealized capital gains. Our OZ specialists debunk the many misconceptions about the program, and provide you with a framework to advise your clients on comparing OZ and non-OZ options for investing proceeds from a capital gain event. We use real, available OZ investments to walk through examples of the benefits of this investment option.
