Tax-efficient investing refers to the strategy of maximizing investment returns while minimizing tax liabilities.

This can involve investing in tax-advantaged accounts such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), 401(k)s, and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), which offer tax benefits such as tax-deductible contributions, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals under certain conditions.

Tax-efficient investing can also involve using investment vehicles that minimize taxes, such as index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have low turnover and generate minimal capital gains distributions. Additionally, tax-loss harvesting can be employed, which involves selling losing investments to offset capital gains and reduce taxes owed.
