Merrill has introduced two new services—Tax Efficient Transition (TET) and Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)—to help clients manage portfolio transitions and cash investments more effectively within the Merrill Lynch Investment Advisory Program. TET assists clients in gradually transitioning appreciated securities into managed strategies while managing capital gains taxes. DCA allows clients to invest cash systematically over time to reduce market timing risks. Both services combine automation with professional oversight, are optional with no extra fees, and aim to support long-term investment goals.
