The future of asset management holds exciting potential as innovative strategies such as direct indexing gain prominence. Direct indexing empowers investors to customize their portfolios by owning individual stocks directly, providing unparalleled control over their investments.
This approach aligns with the goal of reducing tax drag, as investors can strategically harvest losses to offset gains, potentially minimizing their tax liability. Strategically pairing activity in the stock market with real estate holdings allows investors to accrue capital losses without sacrificing upside performance, providing a forward-thinking avenue to optimize after-tax returns.
