How to Tap Into Your Portfolio Without Triggering Capital Gains Tax — Box Spread Portfolio Loans Explained
Jul 20, 202616 min
What if you could access the money in your investment account without selling a single share or triggering capital gains tax? In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, Ian and Alicia break down pledged asset lines (PALs) — what they are and how they work — and then introduce a newer, lesser-known alternative: the box spread portfolio loan. With lower interest rates, lower minimums, better tax treatment, and fewer restrictions on how you use the funds, box spread loans are quickly becoming a go-to strategy for investors sitting on large unrealized gains. If you've ever thought "I need cash but I don't want to sell," this episode walks you through exactly how to think about it. Key topics covered: * What a pledged asset line is and how secured lending works * How box spread loans differ from PALs, HELOCs, and margin loans * Why box spread loans offer rates around 4% with minimums as low as $10K * The tax deductibility advantage most people don't know about * How interest payments become capital losses (and why that matters) * Real-world scenario: $100K invested, now worth $500K — what are your options? * Using box spread loans to diversify a concentrated position without triggering taxes * No restrictions on use of funds, setup in 1–2 weeks Check out our full blog post for more in-depth details on box spread loans.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
