DEERFIELD, Ill., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aris Investing today announced that it has been named a finalist in the Asset Managers > Direct Indexing category of the 2026 Wealth Management Industry Awards—widely known as the "Wealthies"—for its Direct Indexing Assist (DI Assist) program.

Aris Investing helps financial advisors deliver personalized, tax-smart investment solutions through capabilities such as Direct Indexing, Long-Short strategies, Model Portfolios, and Unified Managed Accounts (UMAs).

"We are honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Wealth Management Industry Awards," said Chetan Desai, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aris Investing. "Direct indexing continues to evolve rapidly as advisors seek greater personalization, tax efficiency, and flexibility for clients. We see that same demand extending across portfolio management, which is why we've expanded our capabilities beyond direct indexing to include Long-Short strategies and other personalized investment solutions. Our goal is to help advisors deliver personalized investment outcomes at scale."

The finalist recognition reflects Aris Investing's continued focus on helping financial advisors deliver more personalized investment experiences while addressing the growing complexity of portfolio management.

Now in its 12th year, the Wealth Management Industry Awards — widely known as the "Wealthies" — spotlights the companies and leaders shaping the future of financial advice, investment solutions, and advisor growth.
