Leveraging the power of tax-deferral

Source: Legg Mason, 2012. The above illustration assumes a $1,000 lump some investment, a 35% income tax bracket, a hypothetical pre-tax return rate of 6%, compounded annually over 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-year periods for both the tax-deferred and the taxable accounts and does not represent an actual investment. Actual investments may include fees, charges and other expenses that would affect an investments return. It assumes no distributions are made during these periods. However, lower maximum tax rates on capital gains and dividends would make the investment return for the taxable investment more favorable. Changes in tax rates and tax treatment of investment earnings may impact the comparative results. This illustration is not representative of any investment product. Actual returns will vary. Withdrawals of earnings from a tax-deferred account are subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken prior to age 59½ can be subject to a 10% IRS penalty charge and/or surrender charges.
