I can find lots of data on "total return" of mutual funds. But what I'd like is tax-adjusted total return, with the result of taxation of income and capital gains taken into account. I can do this on an individual basis for each fund, but it's not realistic to caculate tax-adjusted total return for five years for a thousand funds (unless someone has the data on-line!). I know that marginal rates vary, but even an approximation would be useful. Can anyone point me to a compilation of such data? -John Bishop

John, I doubt you'll find that data. Given the number of marginal federal tax rates and the number of state tax rates (some with different rate brackets), putting together "The List" of tax-adjusted returns that worked for everyone would be tough. If you're trying to compare post-tax fund returns versus other investments' post-tax returns, I'd suggest taking the other investments' returns and back out the tax calculations to figure what their _pre-tax_ returns were. Then it becomes an easy (easier...) apples-to-apples comparison with the numbers that the funds report. -craig |
