Check out Andre Nader's thoughtful overview of why he started direct indexing and his experience with Frec so far.
I just broke one of my own rules. I bought individual company shares instead of my usual index fund. And I didn’t just buy 1 company… Meta? I bought it. AAPL? I bought it. AMZN? I bought it. NFLX? I bought it. Google? I bought it. TSLA? I bought it. NVDA? I bought it. That is just a fraction. I spent $100,000 and now own nearly actual shares in nearly all 500 companies in the S&P 500. Why did I do this? To drastically increase my ability to tax loss harvest to offset some upcoming capital gains. In the past I could never make this strategy work. The fees were always too high for my boglehead shaped brain. But now that is changing. The fees have gotten incredibly low. I am paying 0.10%. Since I would normally buy VOO which has a fee of 0.03% I view the effective fee for me to actually be 0.07%. Learn more in today’s newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gj5ECK9g

For folks in the Bay Area, join us at Frec HQ for a fireside chat with Meta's VP of GenAI.
We are excited to announce Ahmad Al-Dahle, Meta's VP of GenAI, will be joining us at the Frec office for a fireside chat the evening of Thursday, May 30th. There are still a number of spots available. If you would like to join, please comment below or DM me here on LinkedIn. It’s an incredible privilege to host Ahmad, who I’ve known since our days studying at the University of Waterloo. I majored in software engineering; he studied computer engineering. Ahmad brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective about technology in general and AI in particular. Prior to Meta, he spent 16 years at Apple. Before he joined Apple officially, he had the extraordinary opportunity to work as an intern on the designs of the iPhone before it was announced. That happened because Waterloo has an internship program where students alternate each semester between classes and internships. I spent my time interning at Texas Instruments, AMD and Microsoft. Since joining Meta in 2020, Ahmad has been enmeshed in the world of generative AI. According to an article in The Information, he was tapped by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to lead the research and development of foundation models like Llama and products like Meta AI. We plan to ask Ahmad for his perspective on the speed and growth of gen AI and LLMs and how they might transform the financial services sector. What else should we ask him?

“This is not some kind of fad, this is not just ‘this year’s hot new product.’ This is something that really should be a permanent part of everybody’s investment program.” Find out why Richard, a former hedge fund manager, chose Frec for Direct Indexing.
We recently spoke to some of our customers to hear their stories. Among them is Richard, a former hedge fund manager and a current finance professor who teaches on topics like alternative investments and wealth management. He’s also one of Frec’s first customers -- he joined after taking a deep dive into our whitepapers. “In the past, ETFs surpassed mutual funds in popularity due to ETFs being a superior investment product. Looking forward, direct indexing may well one day replace ETFs. People are going to recognize that having a passive indexing account at places like Frec is better than owning an ETF.” As an investor who always wants to understand how his financial products work, Richard was frustrated with other brokerages because “there was zero ability to ask any questions or to find out anything about what’s going on inside the product.” With Frec, this changed: “I am welcome to ask questions. I can look under the hood.” Read more about his Frec journey here ⬇

Do transaction costs negatively impact the tax benefits from direct indexing? We decided to answer it, once and for all, in our newest white paper: https://lnkd.in/gCES3C8g Fees due to automated trading amount to 0.5% to 1% of harvested capital losses, which are negligible relative to the tax benefits. A cost-benefit analysis based on a $50k deposit generates ~$19.5k in harvested losses and approximate transaction costs of ~$173 for the same period. Interestingly, we saw that timing trades is important with pretty stark differences in transaction costs over the course of the day. It’s best to execute trades towards the end of the day. Continuously improving our algorithms is at the heart of what we do, and we believe in the open dissemination of our research. See our white papers at frec.com/research.
