Goldman Sachs might conjure images of men in suits earning money, but now anyone can earn extra dough through the investment loan company. Marcus- named after the Goldman Sachs founder Marcus Goldman – allows any adult (except in Maryland, where Marcus is not yet available) to make a savings account. The best feature for Marcus is the 1.5% annual percentage yield offered. Whereas rates of interest for many banks have plummeted to as low as 0.01%, Goldman Sachs’ savings accounts create significant interest.
1 allows users to earn the 1.5% APY. Keeping with the high-growth, no-cost model, Marcus does not charge any fees on savings accounts, including for the money transfers. 40,000 with no fees and high-yield certificates of deposit. There are a few limitations to Marcus, however. The accounts aren’t connected to any ATM system, and it doesn’t have a mobile app. Per month Savers can make only six transfers or withdrawals.
I’ll become more likely to spend money on higher yielding Australian stocks either directly or through Australian shared money. One interesting twist is that listed investment companies (the equivalent of closed end funds) can make investments outside Australia but are deemed as making Australian income and the dividends that they concern have franking credits attached. The best example is Platinum Capital, which I already invest in.
From an financial perspective there really isn’t any difference between investing through the outlined investment company or a mutual fund which passes all cash flow through pre-tax. Actually, there are benefits to the mutual finance framework as long-term capital increases are taxed at a lower rate. The LIC pays 30% taxes on its revenue and then distributes a dividend with a credit but no other concessional tax rate. Therefore the total tax bill to company and investor combined is higher!

With leverage though, the LIC’s taxes credits can offset taxes on other income the buyer earns. However, it is organized though there is certainly dual taxation of foreign dividends but not of dividends from real financial activity in Australia. U.S. Mutual Funds I believe I could still spend money on these but all distributions are subject to U.S.
I should be able to claim that tax back Australia. There are extremely complex rules governing investments in international mutual funds. This can include paying taxes on unrealized increases at the top marginal rate. A50k in foreign mutual funds you are exempt from the rules. Most U.S. shared funds now seem to be exempt also. But it’s not clear to me yet whether you can pay the low long-term CGT rate on capital gains distributions from the funds. With all this, I won’t be making extra investments in U.S. Employer sponsored retirement money are also exempt. I plan to keep my 403b with TIAA-CREF and my employer to avoid any presssing issues.
Individual Retirement Accounts Australia fees non-employer sponsored international retirement accounts as though they had no retirement status at all. Year I will close my Roth IRA Probably next. I’ll need to pay a 30% with-holding tax (but no penalty) on the profits for doing this. But I should have the ability to claim this back in Australia while if I just transfer the account units to a non-retirement accounts without redeeming them paying no CGT in Australia.
Actually, it might make sense to cash out the 403b once I’m a non-resident too – I’d pay a 30% withholding tax that was reclaimable in Australia and then 15-20% capital increases in Australia. We could then maybe make an aftertax contribution to an Australian superannuation fund where revenue would be taxed at 15% in perpetuity or simply keep it in a non-retirement account.
This will require careful analysis. One thing I would need to understand is how distributions from a 403b would be taxed in Australia. I would think that offering the devices should be subject to capital gains rather than regular tax rates? Futures Trading The U.S. Australia doesn’t. Nonetheless it is more versatile (24/5) and cheaper than trading ETFs so I will most likely not be more likely to reduce my futures trading. So the bottom line will there be is a mix of things where I’ll be cautious until I am aware them better among others where a small change will probably happen as time passes.
