Could you please clarify what the "30 day rule" refers to specifically in the context of ETFs? Is it a regulatory requirement, a best practice guideline, or something else entirely? I'm interested in understanding how this rule impacts investors and the trading of exchange-traded funds. Could you elaborate on the details and potential implications of adhering to or violating this rule?

Specifically, the rule states that if an investor sells a security at a loss and then buys the same or a substantially identical security within 30 calendar days before or after the sale, the loss cannot be claimed on their current-year tax return.

The purpose of this rule is to prevent investors from artificially inflating their tax losses through quick buy-and-sell transactions.

It ensures that investors are not using the tax code to manipulate their tax burden and are only claiming legitimate losses.
