Tax-loss harvesting
A tax-efficient solution for taxable investment accounts, Savvy Direct Indexing gives you tax-loss harvesting and portfolio rebalancing to potentially maximize after-tax returns by offsetting gains with losses.
Direct ownership
Build your own personalized portfolio based on your unique values with direct ownership of individual stocks that match the profile of your desired set ETFs and mutual funds.
Risk management
Rebalance your concentrated portfolio positions based on your risk preferences.
Complete transparency
Savvy Direct Indexing gives you full transparency into your underlying investments as a separately managed account (SMA). Get greater insights into how your money is being managed.
Custom exclusions
Ever wish a specific mutual fund or ETF didn’t include a specific stock? Savvy Direct Indexing gives you the ability exclude a stock, sector, region, or country etc to meet your preferences.
Maintain cost basis
Transfer low cost-basis positions (like stock from a past employer) into a Savvy Direct Indexing account and build a portfolio that maintains them while still working to track a broader index.

Offset capital gains with capital losses to net potential tax savings.

Backed by Industry Research
Research suggests that an optimal tax loss harvesting strategy (selling an asset when its price is lower than what you paid for it, and using those losses to offset gains amongst your other holdings) could improve after-tax returns by ~1% annually, leading to better outcomes, especially over longer time horizons.3

Customized direct indexing is subject to investment style risk, which is the chance that returns from the types of stocks selected will trail returns from referenced indexes. Customized direct indexing is subject to the risk that poor security selection will cause underperformance relative to benchmarks or funds with a similar investment objective.
Tax-loss harvesting involves certain risks, including, among others, the risk that the new investment could have higher costs than the original investment and could introduce portfolio tracking error into your accounts. There may also be unintended tax implications. Prospective investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor prior to engaging in any tax-loss harvesting strategy.
