An index-based portfolio your clients can personalize

Schwab Personalized Indexing is designed to be a core component of your client’s investments. It gives them an equity portfolio that can be shaped to be consistent with their goals and personal values.

Tax efficient

  • Tax-loss harvesting seeks to minimize tax liabilities.
  • There is the potential to outperform the index on an after-tax basis, thanks to tax-loss harvesting.

 

Customizable

  • Choose from four index-based strategies for the market exposure your client prefers, with the ability to exclude individual stock and/or industry categories.1

Professionally managed

  • Portfolio managers leverage advanced technology to optimize your client’s portfolio and monitor it on a daily basis.

1 The extent to which holdings can be personalized is subject to account type and investment management guidance. All accounts may exclude up to three securities

* While this strategy looks to approximate the pre-tax return and risk characteristics of the MSCI EAFE Index, it will not invest directly in the local securities tracked by the index and will instead invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) that are traded on U.S. Exchanges which may not align to the index exposure of every country at all times.
