Symmetry's Axiom direct
indexing platform offers extensive
personalization as well as a range
of tax overlay and tax management
options.
We build custom-tailored portfolios
for each investor, with a range
of options, including replicating
indices (with inclusions/exclusions),
investment-factor-focused
portfolios of individual stocks,
and rounded-out " completion "
portfolios, including SMAs and
ETFs. We also provide tax overlay
services.
But if and when the portfolio
becomes " frozen, " which can
happen to direct-indexing portfolios
in as little as 4-5 years-and it is
no longer possible to realize further
tax savings-we can implement
an innovative Tax Alpha solution
unavailable to most providers.
Through a partnership with industry
leaders-such as Quantinno-we
can solve the tax challenges of
" frozen " portfolios, providing 20
or even more years of ongoing tax
savings. Tax Alpha can also solve
other typical situations, such as
diversifying a highly concentrated
portfolio, transitioning to another
portfolio while minimizing taxes,
and banking losses in advance of
liquidity events-such as the sale
of a business.
This focus on advanced tax
management and personalization
delivers a distinctive and powerful
direct investing solution for HNW
investors.
While Symmetry Axiom includes the option of
index solutions composed of individual stocks, it
goes beyond what most other platforms offer by
including custom indices, solutions focused on
the investment factors of return, and fully-flexible
solutions that can include as many as 250+
stocks that you own directly, as well a variety of
additional investment options, including SMAs,
ETFs, mutual funds, and alternatives.
To provide further personalization, Axiom includes
a variety of overlay services, including tax
management and specific security exclusions and
inclusions. All of this is backed by Symmetry's
research and rules-driven, Evidence-Based
Investing philosophy. Axiom also features a
number of useful tools, from customizable
