Episode 122 of The High Net Worth Podcast digs into direct indexing — a strategy that lets wealthy families own the individual stocks inside an index fund, enabling continuous tax-loss harvesting at the single-stock level. Lucas and Luna walk through the mechanics using a concrete example: a $5 million portfolio tracking the S&P 500. They explain how a $10,000 loss on one position can offset $10,000 of realized gains elsewhere, and how this drives 1-2 percentage points of annual after-tax alpha versus a standard ETF. The hosts compare the costs — direct indexing typically charges 0.25 to 0.50 percent in fees versus an S&P 500 ETF at 0.03 percent — and discuss the threshold where the tax benefits outweigh the fees, usually around $1 million. They also touch on the emergence of fractional shares and the role of fintech platforms like Parametric and Aperio in making direct indexing more accessible. A practical, numbers-rich episode for any investor considering customized index exposure. #DirectIndexing #TaxLossHarvesting #WealthManagement #HighNetWorth #S&P500 #Parametric #Aperio #TaxEfficiency #Alpha #FractionalShares #CustomIndex #AfterTaxReturns #Finance #InvestmentStrategy #PortfolioManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WealthyFamilies Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
