Best Idea Show - Doug Pugliese, Alpha Architect - Why Not Elect A 1042 Sale And Control When You Pay Those Taxes? | #288

E288 • Feb 17, 2021 • 56 mins

In episode 288, we welcome our guest, Doug Pugliese, the Head of 1042 QRP Solutions at Alpha Architect, where he manages the firm’s qualified replacement property investment strategies practice. In today’s episode, we’re covering Doug’s best idea: employee stock ownership plans. ESOP’s are a niche but incredibly attractive way for a business owner to sell their business for both themselves and the long-term viability of the company. The episode starts with a broad overview and then dives into the inner workings of an ESOP sale. Doug explains how the tax benefits of a 1042 election allow the owner to defer capital gains tax and even invest the proceeds into a portfolio of blue chip stocks.

Key Points

  • Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) offer a tax-advantaged way for business owners to sell their companies, allowing them to defer capital gains tax indefinitely by investing the proceeds into a portfolio of blue-chip stocks.
  • Alpha Architect has developed a unique strategy as an alternative to traditional floating-rate notes for 1042 QRP, enabling business owners to invest ESOP sale proceeds into a diversified portfolio of US large-cap stocks.
  • Middle-market private equity firms and tax-sensitive investors can significantly benefit from ESOPs as a strategy for exiting investments while deferring capital gains taxes.
