The Tax Data Challenge

Private investors are becoming more demanding and are looking for added-value services. They are increasingly asking for information on the tax implications of their investments. Client Advisors need enriched tax data on instrument level that are taking into account their clients’ profile as well as their investment portfolio structure in order to make tax intelligent investment decisions and optimize their portfolios.

These requirements can become hard to meet with current tax rules mostly available in the form of heavy tax manuals provided by consulting tax experts. SIX Tax Score® helps Client Advisors by analyzing the tax consequences of financial products and providing them with a tax efficiency score on an individual security level, while anticipating tax-related costs of an investment on that security.
