The Problem: Dividend Tax Drag Even with ETFs’ in-kind creation/redemption process minimizing capital gains, dividends remain a taxable reality. IRS rules require ETFs to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income annually to maintain Regulated Investment Company (RIC) status. This income often stems from accrued interest on underlying bonds, paid out as dividends and taxed at the investor’s marginal rate—potentially as high as 37% under current tax law. For clients reinvesting dividends, this means paying hefty income taxes upfront, reducing the amount reinvested and compounding the drag over time.
