Two Significant Tax-Planning Opportunities for 2010

With the tax wars in Washington and a tax increase in the works, two significant opportunities present themselves for 2010: Roth IRA conversions and Michigan Municipal Bonds. Nationally recognized expert Leon C. LaBrecque, JD, CPA, CFP®, CFA, and Chief Executive Officer of LJPR, LLC will be presenting an informative session on these two opportunities. Topics covered will include:

Roth IRA Conversions:

· How a Roth conversion creates a tax-free investment pool (for children and/or grandchildren)

· How Roth conversions have a ‘mulligan' feature to allow you to reverse the conversion

· How Roth IRAs are not subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), and can reduce or eliminate unneeded RMDs

· Who should and should not consider a Roth conversion

· How to ‘segregate' a conversion to take advantage of individual asset class returns

Michigan Municipal Bonds:

· How the market is mispricing risk in the Michigan market

· How certain parts of the Michigan market present opportunities

· Why portfolio duration is an important risk measure

· How the UIMC in the Health Care bill could increase tax-equivalent yield by 16.7%

· How to exploit pricing in bid/ask spreads
