Gimme shelter
Article Abstract:
Investment advisers should carefully examine tax shelters before recommending them to clients. This minimizes the risk of lawsuits if these investments fail to deliver on their promise. Unlike other financial investments, tax shelters are usually illiquid, thereby increasing the investment risk. Also, tax shelters are generally issued in limited partnership structure, giving the investors a personal liability equal to their investments. Advisers should also make sure that the shelters have been registered with the government because sale of shelters without identifying numbers is penalized.
