Asset Location Guide Bogleheads principle — maximize tax-efficiency by account type
Place highest-expected-return assets in Roth (tax-free growth), income-producing assets in Traditional (tax-deferred), and tax-efficient assets in taxable. Your ACA constraint makes taxable dividend minimization critical — each dollar of taxable dividends counts against the ACA cliff.
Taxable Brokerage
Best for low-yield, tax-efficient assets
Best Total Market ETFs (VTI, VOO) — low yield ~0.3-1.5%, qualified divs
Best International ETFs (VEA, VXUS) — foreign tax credit only in taxable
Best Municipal bonds (BSMS, VTEB) — tax-exempt interest, ACA-neutral
OK I-Bonds — interest deferred until redemption
Avoid REITs — ordinary income adds to ACA MAGI
Avoid Bond funds — ordinary interest income
Avoid High-dividend equity (SCHD, VYM)
Traditional IRA / 401k
Best for income-producing assets (shelter from current tax)
Best US/International bonds (BND, AGG) — ordinary income sheltered
Best REITs (VNQ) — high ordinary income sheltered until withdrawal
OK High-dividend equity (SCHD) — qualified, but shelter helps
OK Bond ladder rungs (CDs, T-Notes) — interest deferred
Avoid Growth equity (VUG) — forfeits 0% LTCG rate on gains
Note ⚠ Convert to Roth during ACA Window to reduce future RMDs
Roth IRA
Best for highest-expected-return assets (tax-free forever)
Best Small-cap value (AVUV, VBR) — highest expected return
Best Growth equity (VUG, QQQ) — high appreciation, no tax on growth
Best REITs (if Traditional is full) — avoids ordinary income in retirement
OK Any asset — all growth is tax-free, no RMDs
Avoid Cash/bonds — wastes tax-free space on low-return assets
Goal Maximize via ACA-window conversions 2028–2050
ACA Constraint Override: Your ACA cliff makes every taxable dividend dollar expensive (losing $4-8 of subsidy per $1 over cliff). Prioritize moving high-dividend holdings (REITs, SCHD, bonds) into Roth/Traditional even if it conflicts with "optimal" location. The ACA subsidy is worth ~$28K/yr.
