Morningstar's 2022 Tax and IRA Guide

Investors can't control the market. They can't control the direction of interest rates or global growth. They can't even control what their fund managers buy and sell--or when they do it.

Instead of fretting about what they can't influence, successful long-term investors control what they can. They keep their investment costs low. They set goals, match their investment allocations to those goals, and remain faithful to their plans. And they consider the toll that taxes can take on their wealth and try to maximize their aftertax kitty.
