IRS Issues Notice on In-Kind ETF Redemptions, Says Seyffart

  • —IRS is not challenging ordinary ETF in-kind creation mechanics
  • —The focus is on novel uses of in-kind transactions
  • —The notice could alter tax outcomes for traders and funds
  • —Market participants must reevaluate strategies over potential tax liabilities
Why it matters: Tighter rules on in-kind redemptions could reduce ETF tax efficiency and affect trading volumes.
