@themoneycruncher.bsky.socialPeople often ask “How do you invest your 401k?” I do 100% into Vanguard Institutional 500 Index Trust ($VFFSX) It has a 0.01% expense ratio One of the best S&P 500 funds out there.

Show PostSince the Nvidia stock is now owned in his name, he will receive a step-up basis adjustment to the fair market value (FMV). His heirs will then sell the assets and pay $0 in income tax on the Nvidia shares.
Show PostHe could swap cash (borrowed against the trust's assets) into the trust, along with a promissory note. After the swap, he would personally own Nvidia stock, offset by liabilities. As a result, he would receive an indebtedness deduction and $0 in estate tax.
