I remember practicing a similar question where we had to consider capital gains. I feel like the GHI Global Equity Fund could be a better choice because of its higher return.

I think moving the DEF Bond Fund might be the best option since it has a lower return, but I'm not entirely sure if that’s the most tax-efficient choice.
