Direct Indexing (DI) has scaled to institutional maturity while advisor adoption still lags, creating a powerful growth runway. In this session, we’ll quantify the after tax value of DI, show how to integrate it into core satellite portfolios, and walk through client ready use cases for: transition management, concentrated positions, and charitable giving. Attendees leave with conversation starters and a practical checklist to identify DI fit clients.

POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIRECT INDEXING ACCOUNTS The ability to generate losses may be lower than expected, especially in markets that are rising significantly. Furthermore, the continuing benefits may not be fully realized in flat or falling markets because reinvested tax savings could potentially be low or negative.
