Framework — Taxable account
Taxable accounts punish sloppy design. The Frame should not be sloppy.
A taxable account needs a cleaner implementation path: fewer unnecessary trades, less yield chasing, and a broker that makes deposits and rebalancing easy. The Frame still works, but the account rewards discipline more than creativity.
Low-turnover biasMind the yieldKeep the implementation clean
What to watch
- Large taxable gain realizations when rebalancing.
- Yield that looks good on paper but creates tax drag.
- Overlapping funds that make the account harder to understand.
What to emphasize
- Build as the long-term core.
- Park if cash reserves need to sit here.
- Roam if the investor wants geographic balance without extra layers.
