In the past few years, we have seen a shift in how investors view their portfolios. A greater emphasis is placed on personalization and achieving specific goals. This has led to a demand for more customized solutions.

In his role, Andrew oversees the firm's direct indexing solution as means of helping financial advisors solve complex problems for their clients. He creates scalable custom solutions from transitioning legacy securities into a custom-tailored portfolio to proactive tax loss harvesting to tilting portfolios towards ESG/SRI and other personalized preferences.

Quotes
[08:55] - "Everybody has a unique financial situation. Everybody has unique tax circumstances and their own retirement goals. To the extent that we can continue to hone in on how we create a better portfolio to meet those financial objectives, I see the use case of direct indexing much more than just tax harvesting and tax transitioning. It's how we bring the planning together with the investment portfolio." ~ Andrew Rosenberger
[12:42] - "Anytime you're working with high-net-worth clients, tax management is a central theme of what a custom index can do. We can build custom portfolios around tax management, tax harvesting, and tax transitioning. The higher the client tax rate, the more impactful we can be with the tax savings." ~ Andrew Rosenberger
[19:28] - "By calling out the tax savings number or the customization pieces of the portfolio, we can change the narrative the advisor is having with the end client." ~ Andrew Rosenberger
