Section 351 conversions let investors transfer assets into a new ETF without immediate taxes. This process, called a "351 exchange," turns appreciated assets like stocks or securities from Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) into shares of an ETF. The ETF keeps the original cost basis and holding period of the transferred assets, so taxes are deferred until the ETF shares are sold.
The ETF must be diversified, and the original investors must keep control. The IRS has diversification rules: no single asset can be more than 25% of the ETF's portfolio, and assets over 5% can't total more than 50%. After the conversion, the original SMA investors must have at least 80% control of the ETF’s voting power and value to maintain the tax deferral.
Converting to an ETF offers benefits beyond tax deferral. ETFs simplify portfolio management, are more liquid, and have transparent holdings. They can also hold investments that may be hard to manage in individual SMAs
