What is it?

Tax-efficient credit strategies—like using box spreads—enable clients to borrow at rates near Treasury yields, often half the cost of traditional lenders and even below mortgage rates. This preserves their investment positions, avoids triggering capital gains, and allows the interest to be deducted as a capital loss under IRS Section 1256. Ideal for high-net-worth individuals, it offers liquidity, tax advantages, and portfolio growth preservation, making it a powerful, modern financial planning tool.
