    Jan 1 2026

    Are popular tax strategies actually helping you—or just adding complexity? In this episode, Stephen Nelson and Matt Higbie break down some of the most overhyped tax strategies high-income investors hear about—like direct indexing, customized portfolios, and long-short strategies—and explain why they often don't deliver the results promised.
