I am wanting to sell some lots in a few mutual funds in a portfolio of fund a future vehicle purchase. Each of these 3 mutual funds has many lots each acquired at different times some which have resulted in gains other losses, some long term others short term. My question is which lots should be sold in order to optimize the transaction. Tax harvesting is not my primary focus as the amount is limited and the balance has to be claimed as a tax reduction over several years. Any input is most appreciated.
