Asset location:
Which accounts hold which investments

Asset location is about which accounts hold which investments, for example keeping tax-efficient funds in taxable accounts.

PortfolioPilot records each account's tax treatment, shows what each holds, and does not suggest municipal bonds for tax-sheltered money. It does not move holdings between accounts for you or optimize location. Not tax advice.
