Los Angeles brought attention to an important issue regarding insurance claims for homeowners with mortgaged properties.

Consider relocating your high-quality bond holdings to the leveraged account and shifting the more volatile securities like equities to your tax-advantaged accounts.

You may trigger some gains but lock in some of those gains by investing in a less volatile asset.
