What is Direct Indexing?
Direct Indexing is an equity separately managed account (SMA), constructed with individual stocks and managed to an underlying index, that can be personalized to clients’ unique preferences and tax situations. AssetMark’s platform makes it simple to create personalized index portfolios for your clients. Even better, taxable accounts include Tax Management Services (TMS) at no extra cost — actively working to reduce your clients’ tax burden, while making sure their portfolio is customized for their individual goals.
Why is Direct Indexing Great for Your Clients?
With Direct Indexing, your clients own individual stocks that follow market indexes to create a personalized portfolio that can potentially reduce their taxes. By owning the underlying stocks, your clients get:
Personalized Tax Savings
Included, TMS automatically finds tax-saving opportunities to potentially boost after-tax returns.
Smart Portfolio Management
Daily optimizations seek opportunities to improve performance and maximize tax efficiency.
Greater Control & Transparency
Direct ownership provides deeper visibility and control compared to mutual funds or ETFs.
Tailored to Values
Customize portfolios to align with personal beliefs, creating investment strategies that reflect what matters to them.
Scalable Transitions
Incorporate and manage concentrated stock positions, such as company shares your clients own, to minimize triggering capital gains taxes.
Competitive Pricing & Flexible Minimums
Standard fees for AssetMark Direct Indexing start at just 0.50%, with TMS included, and minimums start at $75,000.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is for informational purposes only, is not a solicitation, and should not be considered investment, legal or tax advice. The information has been drawn from sources believed to be reliable, but its accuracy is not guaranteed and is subject to change.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will outperform a non-diversified portfolio. No investment strategy, such as asset allocation, can guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Actual client results will vary based on investment selection, timing, market conditions, and tax situation.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur management fees, costs and expenses and cannot be invested in directly. Index performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
The exclusion of investments based on industry or ESG factors reduces the number of available investment choices and can impact overall investment performance.
The Tax Management Services (TMS) is designed to improve the after-tax return for the client’s account, consistent with the risk/return profile of the investment models based on the selected tax sensitivity. TMS may cause the account to deviate from the investment models and can affect the risk profile and performance of the account.
