The calculation of annualized return is net of both income and estate taxes. Mr. Smith's annualized return is much greater because he will not pay estate taxes. The asset allocation solutions are not that different but the asset location solutions were very different, reflecting differences in the goals and objectives. Minimizing estate tax
