The EventShares U.S. Tax Reform fund is an actively-managed ETF designed to invest in companies that will be positively impacted by the enactment of the recent changes to the U.S. Tax Code.
Many investors in the technology sector have grown excited that the recent tax reform will be a benefit to their holdings, especially as several noteworthy companies begin to bring overseas cash back home. However, Ben and the EventShares team view this as a one-time event that will not be a long-term growth catalyst in the same way that tax reform will drive other sectors.
Ben and Ryan discuss this argument and dig even further into the strategy behind TAXR. The two also discuss the tech stocks that are included in the TAXR fund and highlight why these companies should stand to benefit from tax reform more than others in the sector.
