Foreign Currency Tax Swaps

  • Many clients have purchased foreign currencies over the past ten years. In some cases, the client may have an unrealized tax loss.
  • Commodities, unlike securities, are not governed by "wash rules." Therefore, you can buy and sell foreign currencies immediately.
  • Asset Strategies International, Inc. (ASI) can now provide a method by which the client can sell and immediately repurchase their foreign currency at a preferential commission spread (flat 2%).
  • If you have a foreign currency with an overseas bank or own a Swiss annuity, we can help you capture the tax loss.*
  • This strategy should be implemented when the U.S. Dollar is at high levels compared to the foreign currency to maximize the tax loss, not necessarily at the end of a tax year.
