AICA is hosting a timely event focused on four fund groups with favorable tax considerations for investors that prioritize after-tax income. The event will feature a variety of high-quality speakers across two days of presentations.The panels will discuss a variety of highly-relevant topics for investors given current uncertainty regarding changes in taxation, the interest rate environment, credit quality, and the general macro situation. The concept of return of capital (RoC) will be explored in-depth, including how it can potentially benefit income investors, particularly in relation to covered call and energy funds. There will also be an introductory presentation by John Cole Scott, CIO of Closed-End Fund Advisors and the founder of AICA, that will outline his approach to building high after-tax income portfolios for investors and advisors.

THE WILDERMUTH FUND provides investors with access to early-stage private equity that has traditionally been reserved for institutional investors. The Fund offers portfolio diversification among early-stage private equity positions in various asset classes including technology, real estate, healthcare, energy, and hedge funds that would be difficult for individual investors to achieve because of typically high minimum investments.

With over 25 years of investment experience, he has been a pioneer in adapting the endowment investment approach to the needs of individual investors. Mr. Wildermuth is CEO and CIO of Wildermuth Advisory and Asteria Wealth, a money management firm that administers more than 20 equity and fixed income portfolio strategies for retail and institutional investors.
