Mutual Fund Buzz: The Tax Man Eyes The Fund Manager
Kirk Shinkle

HOME > WEALTH

 

It could be a rough one for some fund manager paychecks. That's because the Senate is expected to vote on a jobs bill that includes a big tax hike on private equity firms, hedge funds, and some real estate fund managers, says the WSJ.

Their income tax hit would rise to 35 percent on "carried-interest" income, which gets taxed at a more friendly capital-gains-like rate of 15 percent. The rate on partnership income, a tax that would hit the sale of a variety of financial firms specifically, would rise to 30 percent in 2011 and 33 percent in 2013.

Take heart, managers: The current language is softer than the House bill, and there's still a few days left to lobby. But don't expect a surge of sympathy. That higher tax rate only brings the rate on managers' profit sharing to the same level everyone else pays on ordinary income (for a solid take on why closing the gap is a good thing, see Fred Wilson ). Plus, as the tax-the-rich blitz continues on Washington, always keep in mind that the folks crying foul over higher rates are likely old enough to remember when the government's take was much, much higher.

On the other side of the ledger, the bill, sponsored by Rep. Sander Levin (D-Mich.) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.), sees the carried interest tax adding $14.5 billion to revenues over 10 years.

Reuters: Senate Jobs Bill Would Hike Fund Manager Tax

May's worst-performing stock funds faltered in the face of the European debt crisis and the "flash crash." Our story, "The Biggest Losers: Mutual Funds That Fell Flat in May," highlights funds that stumbled badly under the macro malaise:

-- Birmiwal Oasis Fund (BIRMX). May loss: 17.2 percent

-- YieldQuest Core Equity Fund (YCEIX). May loss: 13.4 percent

-- Alpine Dynamic Dividend (ADVDX). May loss: 12.5 percent

-- Catalyst Value (CTVAX). May loss: 12.2 percent

-- Counterpoint Select (CPFSX). May loss: 12.2 percent

Looking for a safer fund after that rough May (and, apparently, a worse June)? See our list of highly rated conservative allocation funds to help you ease back into stocks:

-- Vanguard Wellesley Income (VWINX)

-- Permanent Portfolio (PRPFX)

-- Berwyn Income (BERIX)

-- Manning & Napier Pro-Blend Conservative Term (EXDAX)

-- AARP Conservative Fund (AACNX)
