The easiest would be to invest in assets that don't (or only moderately) go up in value, but that you can (in the end) liquidate at cost. Then you get the tax benefit without the risk.

The PDF I linked describes O-Funds with 7% annual appreciation.

They won't all hit that, but the goal will be to get the O-Funds to match similar low-risk long-term investment vehicles and then get out tax-free, and the businesses managing the funds will be under enormous pressure from the investors to make that happen.
