Is seeding an ETF in-kind the right strategy?

I compare seeding an ETF to an exchange fund, charitable remainder trust, and tax-aware long/short separate account.

This is chapter 5 from my book, “The Adviser’s Guide To Seeding an ETF In-Kind,” about alternatives to seeding an ETF in-kind, including:

1. Do nothing
2. Sell to rebalance
3. Exchange fund
4. Charitable remainder trust
5. Tax-aware long/short extension (e.g. 130/30)

Each has pros/cons.
