Axioma Solutions for Direct Indexing

Customize your clients’ investment portfolios with tax-managed, index-based solutions

Your customers want more control over what they’re investing in. Direct indexing makes that possible, for investors with any size portfolio. Our sophisticated portfolio optimization and analytics and index solutions allow you to provide this holistic service to your clients, more efficiently.

Whether they want ESG customization, tax optimization or emphasis on specific style factors, you can easily automate and scale these strategies at the security, account or household level.

How Direct Indexing works

Originate

Start with an underlying index by holding individual constituents rather than pooled vehicles such as mutual funds or ETFs. This provides an opportunity to tailor the portfolio and incorporate your client’s tax characteristics in ongoing management.

Optimize

Customize your inputs: use the Axioma Portfolio Optimizer to create optimized portfolios with your clients’ individual preferences.

Choose to deviate from the underlying index by including or excluding individual securities, industries, or geographies based on client needs and preferences.

Implement impact investing strategies by modifying an ESG or broad-based index.

Select best-in-class ESG data from a network of integrated data providers or from your preferred vendor.

Offset the risk of concentrated positions in employer stock or inherited securities.

Automate and Scale

Manage your process efficiently with APIs for mass customization.
