Adhesion Wealth® Launches New Personal Indexing Program for RIAs

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Adhesion Wealth(®), an outsourced investment management platform for registered investment advisors (RIAs), today announced the launch of its Personal Indexes investment solution to help advisors deliver a customized tax-advantaged investment option to clients. The new solution enables advisors to choose a starting index and apply active screens such as investment styles, factor tilts and investment preferences in a vehicle designed to achieve tax alpha.

"Minimizing tax liability while managing portfolio risk is an important component of the overall value advisors bring to their clients," said Barrett Ayers, President of Adhesion Wealth. "Adhesion's proprietary personal indexing tools and replication techniques provide tax-aware portfolios that focus on tax-loss harvesting while demonstrating index-like tracking characteristics - saving advisors time and helping them in their pursuit of delivering better client outcomes."

Personal Indexes are an expansion of Adhesion Wealth's Investable Index Series, which track major market indexes except with a smaller subset of equity holdings, all individually owned by the investor. The entire Investable Index Series, available exclusively to Adhesion clients, is designed to be a low-cost investment solution that offers minimal deviation from the underlying index except with the tax and customization benefits not available from mutual funds or ETFs.

Key features of Adhesion Wealth's Personal Indexes program include:

    --  Personalized Portfolios - Advisors can implement active screens to
        create indexes that are unique to their practice and available
        exclusively to their clients. Along with screening for components such
        as specific sectors, an advisor can optimize an index strategy based on
        other client preferences, such as ESG criteria, investment styles and
        factor tilts like momentum, volatility or valuation.
    --  Tax-Managed Trading - Advisors can use Adhesion's personal indexes as a
        vehicle to provide tax alpha in ways not available with ETFs or mutual
        funds, such as tax-harvesting individual securities, capital gain
        deferment, tax lot optimization, reducing unnecessary trades and tax
        expenses, and incorporating current holdings into an index-based
        portfolio.
    --  Tax-Advantaged Transitions - Personal Indexes can help advisors generate
        tax-advantaged transitions around index-based strategies while
        preserving the client risk profile, keeping an eye towards potentially
        enhancing after-tax returns, unwinding concentrated stock positions,
        tax-aware transitioning of investment accounts and retirement and estate
        planning.
    --  Index-Like Behavior - Personal Indexes demonstrate the behavioral traits
        of an index by replicating many of the underlying factors that comprise
        that index. As a result, advisors can use direct indexes with the
        expectation they'll display predictable index-like risk/reward
        characteristics.
