The pain being felt by investors could get much worse by year-end even if markets recover from here. This fall, mutual funds will begin releasing information on capital gains dividends to be paid out prior to year end. Nathaniel Ritchison, CFP®, AIF®, Senior Financial Planner explains that this might mean you could be paying taxes on these cap gain dividends at the same time that you have investment losses on your mutual funds if you’re not careful.
As of the end of July 2022, 97% of all mutual funds, active and passive, had negative returns. Dating back to 2001, this is the worst year for performance — even worse than during the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 when considering the breadth of the losses. While year to date equity returns are not worse than 2008, the current significant weakness in fixed income pushes the total number of funds with losses in 2022 significantly higher than in 2008. The breadth of funds at a loss, have not been seen since 2001.
Despite these losses on most mutual funds, there is an increased likelihood that they will distribute capital gain dividends this year due to substantial outflows from actively managed mutual funds and increased trading in a volatile market on the back of a high performing 2021. Remember, whenever there is a redemption of a mutual fund, it must sell securities to raise cash, which could create capital gains distributions for investors that still hold the fund. The last time we had this breadth of funds at a loss was 2001 and in the five years since 2001 when mutual funds had net outflows, 53% of funds on average paid cap gains dividends. And in terms of the most similar year to 2022 for performance we look no further than back to 2018 when markets nearly fell into a bear market and rates rose. Sound familiar?? In that environment in 2018, 61% of funds paid cap gains. Given the comparisons between the breadth and dept in losses to mutual funds this year, estimates are that nearly one-third of the active mutual funds with losses will distribute capital gains before the year is over.
If you own a mutual fund that is down on the year, underperforming its benchmark, and has historically paid a capital gain, perhaps it’s time to consider cutting your losses before a bad situation gets worse. Harvesting the loss from your portfolio and swapping into an indexed ETF could lower your portfolio costs and increase its tax-efficiency.
