It\u2019s capital gains distribution season, and big tax bills are on the way for some fund investors.<\/p>\n

A manager\u2019s trading throughout the year will inevitably cause some short- and long-term gains, all of which get passed on to the investor. Investors are also shifting assets from mutual funds to more tax-efficient exchange-traded funds. Funds with high outflows often come with high capital gains, because managers are frequently forced to sell securities to meet redemptions.<\/p>\n

\n

This is the time of year when fund companies try to give investors a sense of how big their tax bill will be by estimating how much their funds will distribute in income and capital gains between late November and the end of the year. These gains are only an immediate concern for taxable accounts. Any funds in a 401(K), IRA or other tax-deferred account won\u2019t be taxed until you pull out the money. <\/p>\n

Typically, funds\u2019 distributions amount to 5% to 10% of a fund\u2019s net asset value, according to
\n Morningstar.<\/span>
\n Investors in some popular funds are in for a big surprise with distributions in excess of 10% and 20%. The final percentage will vary, based on the fund\u2019s net asset value at the time of distribution.<\/p>\n

Last year the broad stock market plunged 18%, handing fund managers an opportunity to harvest losses to offset potential gains. But some areas of the market\u2014such as large-cap growth\u2014have rebounded in 2023, and many funds still have long-term winners on the books thanks to the long bull market before 2020, said Stephen Welch, a senior manager research analyst for equity strategies at Morningstar Research Services, in the firm\u2019s 2023 capital gains roundup.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince investors continued to pull money from traditional actively managed funds in the first nine months of 2023, many money managers had to realize gains to meet redemptions,\u201d he said. \u201cFunds must pass those long- and short-term proceeds to shareholders who, if they own their funds in taxable accounts, must pay taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Morningstar report focuses on strategies with at least 4% in estimated distributions. Some firms, including the world\u2019s biggest asset manager BlackRock (ticker: BLK) and rival Vanguard, the second-largest asset manager, will release estimates later in November. <\/p>\n

Funds from Champlain, FPA, Lord Abbett, and Oakmark expect to distribute less than 4% of their NAV in capital gains, according to the roundup.<\/p>\n

The 20-percenters include funds from familiar firms such as Columbia Threadneedle,
\n Diamond Hill
\n (DHIL), Delaware Funds by Macquarie,
\n Federated Hermes
\n (FHI), and
\n JPMorgan
\n (JPM).<\/p>\n

The Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund (CREEX) has estimated it will pay out 24.8%. Welch noted that by law real estate investment trusts have to pay out 90% of income to shareholders, so this distribution isn\u2019t out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

The Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund (DHSCX), meanwhile, estimates a \u201cwhopping\u201d distribution of 23.1%. \u201cIn the 12 months ending in September, the fund\u2019s assets have shrunk by nearly 25% owing to outflows,\u201d said Welch.<\/p>\n

Several Delaware funds will make some of the largest distributions, including six that will likely pay distributions in excess of 10%, according to the report. The Delaware Ivy Value Fund (IYVAX) estimates a distribution of 29% after suffering outflows of nearly 50% this year.<\/p>\n

Two Federated Herm\u00e8s strategies\u2014Federated Herm\u00e8s Kaufmann Large Cap Fund (KLCKX) and Federated Herm\u00e8s Max Cap Index Fund (FMXKX)\u2014will likely distribute about 25% in capital gains, while the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (JPDEX) has estimated it will distribute 21.4%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIronically, [the fund] will likely distribute at least 20%; the $828 million in assets fund has seen more than $240 million in outflows in 2023,\u201d said Welch.<\/p>\n
