Make sure you\u2019re aware of any deductions or credits you might be eligible for by going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/\">irs.gov<\/a>. Gather the documentation for these new deductions or credits you might not have previously been tracking.<\/li>\n<li>Set aside time in your schedule to complete your taxes. It might be wise to engage a tax professional who can help with the process and maximize your savings. In addition, these professionals can help you navigate an ever-expanding tax law landscape that changes yearly.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure you have received Form W-2 and other earnings information, such as Form 1099, from employers and payers. The dates for furnishing such information to recipients vary by form, but they are generally not required before February 1, 2023. You may need to allow additional time for mail delivery. Check for errors on these documents.<\/li>\n<li>Try to file electronically and use direct deposit. Electronic filing allows you to check whether your return was accepted within hours of filing and your refund status after 24 hours. Filing by mail can take 6 to 8 weeks to process your return.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/filing\/individuals\/how-to-file\">https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/filing\/individuals\/how-to-file<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Key Filing Dates&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Late January:\u00a0<\/strong>IRS begins processing 2023 tax returns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>January 31, 2024:<\/strong> Employers must mail W-2 forms\u202ffor 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 15:<\/strong>\u00a0 The first estimated tax payment for tax year 2024 is due.

If the income you report doesn\u2019t match the IRS\u2019s records, you could face problems down the road. Be sure to include the income from all of the following forms that are applicable to your situation: 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, Form 1099-INT, Form SSA-1099, and Form W-2.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Misreporting investment gains<\/strong>: When you sell an investment, you\u2019ll need to know both the cost basis (what you paid for the investment) and the sale price to determine your net gain or loss. The cost basis of your investment may need to be adjusted to account for commissions, fees, stock splits, or other events, which could help reduce your taxable gain or increase your net loss. Financial institutions are required to adjust your investments\u2019 cost basis and provide that information on a Form 1099. However, brokerages aren\u2019t required to report the cost basis for investments purchased prior to a certain date, which means you\u2019ll be responsible for supplying that information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choosing the wrong filing status<\/strong>: Your filing status determines your tax rate, standard deduction, and eligibility for certain credits and deductions. Be sure to choose the correct filing status based on your marital status and family situation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Math errors<\/strong>: Math errors can delay the processing of your return and potentially result in penalties. To avoid math errors, double-check all numbers on your return for accuracy and make sure that there are no unexplained differences or items that were left off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To avoid these mistakes, it\u2019s important to take your time and be as accurate as possible when preparing your tax return. You can also compare this year\u2019s tax return with last year\u2019s to ensure that there are no unexplained differences or items that were left off.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sources: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwab.com\/learn\/story\/4-common-tax-filing-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them\">schwab.com,<\/a> <a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/filing-taxes-101-common-errors-taxpayers-should-avoid\" aria-label=\"Filing taxes 101: Common errors taxpayers should avoid\" data-citationid=\"13c3e83e-3809-3ddd-6bfe-57d799423743\">\u00a0irs.gov<\/a><a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/top-tax-filing-mistakes-and-how-avoid-them-4232870\" aria-label=\"Top Tax Filing Mistakes\u2014and How to Avoid Them - Investopedia\" data-citationid=\"2f57f086-a6d4-50dc-a6bd-f252b00fffde\">\u00a0<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/top-tax-filing-mistakes-and-how-avoid-them-4232870\" aria-label=\"Top Tax Filing Mistakes\u2014and How to Avoid Them - Investopedia\" data-citationid=\"2f57f086-a6d4-50dc-a6bd-f252b00fffde\"> investopedia.com<\/a>, <a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creditkarma.com\/tax\/i\/common-tax-filing-mistakes\" aria-label=\"How to Avoid Common Tax Filing Mistakes | Credit Karma\" data-citationid=\"bd4cb272-2b6e-08c8-b907-8f5a8b1872f5\">creditkarma.com<\/a><a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneylion.com\/learn\/top-tax-filing-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\" aria-label=\"Top Tax Filing Mistakes &amp; How to Avoid Them - MoneyLion\" data-citationid=\"d188b55a-3449-db39-c205-eb3ef654826b\">\u00a0,<\/a>\u00a0<a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneylion.com\/learn\/top-tax-filing-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\" aria-label=\"Top Tax Filing Mistakes &amp; How to Avoid Them - MoneyLion\" data-citationid=\"d188b55a-3449-db39-c205-eb3ef654826b\">moneylion.com<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;What are the tax implications of having stock options or company shares?&#8221;][vc_column_text]If you have been compensated with stock options or company shares, you will need to pay taxes on them. The taxation of stock options depends on the type of option you receive and when you exercise it.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a summary of the tax implications of different types of stock options:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Incentive stock options (ISOs)<\/strong>: You generally aren\u2019t taxed until you sell the stock after exercising your options, giving them a potentially more favorable tax treatment than NQSOs. However, you must meet certain requirements to take full advantage. If you hold the stock for more than two years after the date the options were granted and at least one year after exercising them, the spread is taxed at the long-term capital gains rate, which is generally lower than your income tax rate. This is called a qualifying disposition. If you sell before these criteria are met, the spread at the exercise date is taxed as ordinary income, and any gains after the exercise date will be taxed as either a short- or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period. This is called a disqualifying disposition.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\"><strong>Non-qualified stock options (NSOs):<\/strong> You are taxed when you exercise your options. The tax is based on the spread between the stock\u2019s fair market value and the exercise price of the option. The value of the spread is treated as compensation and subject to ordinary income and payroll taxes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body2-font-weight);\"><strong>Restricted stock:<\/strong> The value of the stock grant (less the cost basis) is treated as compensation and is subject to ordinary income and payroll taxes. You\u2019re allowed to make a so-called section 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant. This notifies the IRS that income tax on the stock should be assessed based on the valuation at the grant date (rather than later, when it vests). Once you pay taxes based on the stock\u2019s value at the time of the grant, any future gains in the stock\u2019s price will be treated as long- or short-term capital gains, depending on the holding period.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Scarlet Oak Financial Services can&#8217;t give tax advice and will always recommend that you speak with an accountant, CPA, or tax advisor for specific questions concerning your tax situation.

If the donation is in cash, regardless of the amount, you\u2019ll need a receipt or supporting bank records.<\/li>\n<li>Get an independent, written appraisal for gifts of property in excess of $5,000 ($10,000 for closely held stock). You won\u2019t need an appraisal for exchange-traded funds, bonds, or mutual funds.<\/li>\n<li>Subtract the value of any benefits you received for your charitable donation (for example, books, tapes, meals, entertainment, and so on) before you deduct it .<\/li>\n<li>Itemize your deductions on your tax return if you think your total donations will exceed your standard deduction 1 and you want to receive a tax benefit for your charitable donations. If your standard deduction is higher, your donations won\u2019t reduce your tax bill, but you\u2019ll still be supporting your favorite charity\u2014which is a good reason on its own to give.<\/li>\n<li>For donations of non-cash assets held for more than one year, the limit is 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Your deduction limit will be 60% of your AGI for cash gifts.<\/li>\n<li>Stock donations made to specific types of qualifying organizations may be deducted up to 50% of the AGI limit. Examples of these types of organizations include but are not limited to Churches or associations of churches Educational organizations, Hospitals or certain medical research organizations, and Private operating foundations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwab.com\/learn\/story\/charitable-donations-basics-giving\">schwab.com<\/a><a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.givedirectly.org\/guide-to-donating-stocks-and-mutual-funds\/\" aria-label=\"Guide to donating stocks and mutual funds | GiveDirectly\" data-citationid=\"7910bcb4-40b0-c46e-7134-b5574bc22f99\">, givedirectly.org<\/a><a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/07\/donatestock.asp\" aria-label=\"Can I Donate Stock to Charity? - Investopedia\" data-citationid=\"f13d0571-6a26-252c-a9df-1cbb952bb8b6\">, investopedia.com<\/a><a style=\"font-weight: var(--cib-type-body1-strong-font-weight);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kiplinger.com\/personal-finance\/charitable-giving-strategies-that-cut-your-taxes\" aria-label=\"Six Charitable Giving Strategies: Feel Good and Cut Your Taxes\" data-citationid=\"fa985c04-1f29-0048-4c15-4e1759653fa2\">, kiplinger.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Scarlet Oak Financial Services can&#8217;t give tax advice and will always recommend that you speak with an accountant, CPA, or tax advisor for specific questions concerning your tax situation.\u00a0<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Are qualified retirement rollovers taxable?&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin-right: 51.6pt;\">If you have performed a\u00a0<b>retirement account rollover<\/b>, you may need to report it on your tax return.

The IRS requires final income reclassification to be reported to you on Form 1099.<\/p>\n<p>Example: An investor receives a $200 distribution from XYZ Fund on July 1. At the time of the distribution, XYZ Fund characterizes the distribution as a nonqualified dividend. After the end of the year, XYZ Fund announces that the distribution is actually composed of 50% qualified dividend and 50% return of capital; and, your 1099 is amended to reflect the current tax characterization of the distribution.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-2&#8243; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Which investment types are likely to reclassify each year?&#8221;][vc_column_text]Registered investment companies (RICs), commonly referred to as mutual funds and REITs, are pass-through vehicles for tax reporting purposes. As such, the tax character of distributions made by these investments is more likely to change at the conclusion of the year than, for example, an equity that pays dividends from current or retained earnings. Additionally, mutual funds must determine the amount of gross-ups for foreign with tax-exempt payments subject to alternative minimum tax, and the portion of the distributions derived from U.S. Treasury obligations.<\/p>\n<p>The table below provides an explanation of why certain investments are more likely to experience income reclassifications and the tax statements that may be impacted.

This dialogue will help you decide if filing an extension is the best course of action. There are many reasons why filing an extension might make sense for you. For example, the volume of data or complexity of certain transactions inside or outside your account may require additional time to address. Also, if you\u2019re expecting to receive your 1099 in the third or fourth mailing wave in March, it may be reasonable to consider filing an extension to allow sufficient time for your tax advisor to accurately complete your tax return forms. LPL Financial does not have a method to verify in advance which mailing wave your account(s) will fall under.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;What filing an extension accomplishes?&#8221;][vc_column_text]Filing an extension grants additional time (six months) to submit a complete and accurate tax return. However, you\u2019ll still need to estimate whether you\u2019ll owe any taxes and pay that estimated balance by April 15. Extending the return allows you and your tax advisor more time to prepare and ensure filing of an accurate tax return. In many cases, you may still be waiting for additional information, such as your Schedule K-1 or corrected 1099s, to complete your tax return.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Benefits of extending a tax return&#8221;][vc_column_text]Filing an extension allows additional time to file returns without penalty when you\u2019re waiting for missing information or tax documents (such as corrected 1099s).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please remember:<\/strong> An extension provides additional time to file, but not additional time to pay. Penalties may be assessed if sufficient payment is not remitted with the extension. It\u2019s often less expensive (and easier) to file an extension rather than rushing to meet the deadline and having to amend the tax return later.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Extensions and Audits&#8221;][vc_column_text]Extending will not increase the likelihood of being audited by the IRS. It\u2019s better to file an extension rather than to file a return that\u2019s incomplete or doesn\u2019t give you adequate time to review carefully before signing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Should I do anything differently if I\u2019m filing an extension?&#8221;][vc_column_text]No, you should give your tax advisor whatever information you have as early as possible or as soon as it becomes available. You should expect to pay any anticipated taxes owed by April 15.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re required to make quarterly estimated tax payments, your first quarter estimated tax payment is still due April 15. Your tax advisor may recommend that you pay the balance due for last year and your first quarter estimated tax payment for this year with the extension.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re anticipating a large refund, your tax advisor will likely try to get the extended return done as soon as possible once all tax information is available. Your tax advisor may also want to discuss tax planning opportunities with you so that in future years, you don\u2019t give the IRS an interest-free loan!<br \/>\nFor more information on filing extensions, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irs.gov\">www.irs.gov<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=&#8221;regular&#8221; highlight_color=&#8221;#cf112b&#8221; style=&#8221;full_text&#8221; highlight_expansion=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LPL_Financial_1099s\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #5f1313;\">LPL Financial 1099s<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/veoone.tdainstitutional.com\/aem-resources\/tax-center\/tax-and-retirement-faqs.html\">Source<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][toggles style=&#8221;default&#8221;][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-1&#8243; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;What is a Preliminary 1099-Consolidated Tax Information Statement?&#8221;][vc_column_text]A preliminary 1099-Consolidated Tax Information Statement is an advanced draft copy of your 1099-Consolidated tax forms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-1&#8243; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;Can I use the preliminary 1099-Consolidated Tax Information Statement to file my taxes?&#8221;][vc_column_text]No, this draft form should NOT be considered final and should NOT be used for the purpose of filing tax returns with the IRS or with any state or other regulatory authority.

Beginning in 2023, the SECURE 2.0 Act raised the age that you must begin taking RMDs to age 73. If you reach age 73 in 2023, the required beginning date for your first RMD is April 1, 2024. Subsequent RMDs must be taken by December 31 of each year.

There\u2019s an IRS provision that applies to the first year in which you must take out a RMD, where the IRS provides you with the option to defer your first RMD to be taken by April 1 of the following year.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you turned age 73 in 2024 and are now required by the IRS to take a RMD. You have the option of deferring your first RMD until April 1 of 2025 instead of taking it by December 31 of 2024. If you choose to postpone your first RMD withdrawal to April 1 of 2025, then you will have to take out a second RMD by December 31 of 2025. Deferring your first RMD will result in you taking two RMD withdrawals within the same tax year, which could potentially cause a taxable issue for you.

The IRS deadline for processing prior year return of excess and recharacterizations is the tax return due date for the tax year of the contribution (including extensions).<\/p>\n<p>If you have excess contributions for 2023, there are several options available. If the 2023 excess contribution occurred between January 1, 2024, and April 15th, 2024, we can accept a letter of instruction or form CM100 asking LPL to change the reporting to a 2024 contribution. By changing the tax year of the contribution to 2024, you can leave the funds in the account as a current-year contribution or remove it by October 16, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In general, if the excess contributions for a year are not withdrawn by the date your return for the year is due (including extensions), you are subject to a 6% tax. You must pay the 6% tax each year on excess amounts that remain in your account at the end of your tax year.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we cannot recharacterize any prior-year 2022 contributions after the deadline. Please discuss this with your tax professional before making any decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolving Over-Contributions for 2023<\/strong>: If you have over-contributed to your retirement account, you may need to process a return of excess. To withdraw an excess contribution from an IRA, you need to complete the Move Money, IRA Distribution, Excess Contribution (CM108) form.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source- <a href=\"https:\/\/scarletoakfs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2023-2024-LPL-Financial-year-end-guide-investor-edition.pdf\">LPL End of Year Investor Guide 2023<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=&#8221;regular&#8221; highlight_color=&#8221;#cf112b&#8221; style=&#8221;full_text&#8221; highlight_expansion=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gifting\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #5f1313;\">Gifting<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/veoone.tdainstitutional.com\/aem-resources\/tax-center\/tax-and-retirement-faqs.html\">Source<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][toggles style=&#8221;default&#8221;][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-1&#8243; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;How can I impact my current tax position through charitable giving?&#8221;][vc_column_text]Charitable giving is one way you can positively impact your current tax position. One way to maximize charitable giving is to gift stock or mutual funds rather than cash. When you decide to gift rather than sell long-term appreciated shares, you\u2019ll potentially get to take a reduction for the full fair market value of shares and avoid tax on the long-term capital gain.<\/p>\n<p>You also have the option of reducing your taxable estate by gifting up to $18,000 in 2024 for single or $36,000 in 2024 for a couple without any tax ramifications to you or the recipients of the gift. This allows the beneficiary to benefit from the gift much sooner than if the inheritance was tied up in the estate until death.<\/p>\n<p>Gifting Shares to Recipient at Another Financial Institution: To facilitate a year-end gifting request, we need to fill out the appropriate form to gift shares from your account to a third party as a charitable donation. The third party\u2019s account must already be established at an eligible receiving institution. Signed instructions must be received no later than the first week of December of the year the deduction is wished to be taken in to ensure the gifting of shares takes place and settles in the desired account by year-end. Any requests received on or after the first week of December will be processed on a best-efforts basis.<\/p>\n<p>Please note: Other types of gifting requests are due by the first day of November, so contact Scarlet Oak Financial Services as soon as possible to discuss the best option for your request. <strong>Gifting for 2023 must have been completed before January 1, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For additional questions about gifting and your investment accounts, please get in touch with Faye at <a href=\"mailto:fsykes@scarletoakfs.com\">fsykes@scarletoakfs.com<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:8008711219\">800.871.1219<\/a>\u00a0 Ext 3.<\/p>\n<p>Source- <a href=\"https:\/\/scarletoakfs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2023-2024-LPL-Financial-year-end-guide-investor-edition.pdf\">LPL End of Year Investor Guide 2023<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=&#8221;regular&#8221; highlight_color=&#8221;#cf112b&#8221; style=&#8221;full_text&#8221; highlight_expansion=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_Harvesting\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #5f1313;\">Tax Harvesting\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white; text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/veoone.tdainstitutional.com\/aem-resources\/tax-center\/tax-and-retirement-faqs.html\">Source<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][toggles style=&#8221;default&#8221;][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-2&#8243; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; title=&#8221;What is tax harvesting?&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin-right: 51.6pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;\">Tax harvesting is defined as selling securities at a loss to offset a capital gains tax liability. Tax gain or loss harvesting is typically used to limit the recognition of short-term capital gains, which are normally taxed at higher federal income tax rates than long-term capital gains. For many investors, tax harvesting is the single most important tool for reducing taxes now and in the future. If properly applied, it can save you money in taxes and help diversify your portfolio. However, you shouldn\u2019t take the decision to sell lightly, and you should carefully consider the timing of any sale. Properly and improperly timed sales can directly affect the overall return you receive from your investments. Consider working with your tax advisor to determine if tax harvesting is a good strategy this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For additional questions about tax harveting, please get in touch with Faye at <a href=\"mailto:fsykes@scarletoakfs.com\">fsykes@scarletoakfs.com<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:8008711219\">800.871.1219<\/a>\u00a0 Ext 3.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8.0pt;\">*There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance the overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio.
