Tax-Loss Harvesting is an investment strategy for U.S. stocks from December to January and is mainly applied in the field of financial investment under a tax environment.
For U.S. citizens, capital gains tax is very onerous. Tax-Loss Harvesting refers to when investors intentionally sell securities (such as stocks, funds, bonds, etc.) that are in a state of decline and loss in order to reduce taxable income. In this way, investors can offset capital gains with investment losses.
As Tax-Loss Harvesting nears its end, the worst-performing stocks will see a rebound in trading.
Historically, these stocks have exceeded by about 250 basis points on average from the last two weeks of December to the end of January.
