Tax loss harvesting refers to an investment strategy whereby the portfolio manager sells the worst performing stocks in the portfolio to crystallize capital losses to offset any realized capital gains - thus reducing/minimizing tax liability. The strategy also imparts a sense of sell-discipline too, thus the portfolio manager can reallocate the proceeds into securities with more favorable characteristics as dictated by their investment style and strategy.
Synonyms: Tax minimization, Tax sales
