Offering Provides Investors with Improved Tax Management, Including Tax-Loss Harvesting, Alongside the Flexibility to Address Investment Preferences and Personal Values

Strategies are offered in partnership with Envestnet's QRG Capital Management, a Pioneer in Delivering Direct Indexing Through the Unified Managed Account Structure

BERWYN, Pa., April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Envestnet, in collaboration with State Street Global Advisors, announced at its Elevate 2025 conference in Las Vegas today that it is expanding access to personalized investing with the launch of Direct Indexing portfolios available on the Envestnet Unified Managed Account (UMA) platform. This offering combines the powerful legacy of index investing from one of the world's leading asset managers with Envestnet's sophisticated technology to deliver customized, tax-aware portfolio solutions at scale.

Direct indexing at Envestnet with State Street Global Advisors offers investors the ability to create truly personalized index portfolios, featuring over 100 points of customization and optional tax overlay services—all within a seamless UMA structure. Clients can now benefit from the institutional experience of State Street Global Advisors, creator of the world's first ETFs¹ and the fourth largest asset manager globally² with $4.72 trillion in assets under management³.

"Together with State Street Global Advisors, we're redefining access to customized, tax-smart portfolios," said Dana D'Auria, Group President, Envestnet Solutions at Envestnet. "Through direct indexing on our UMA platform, advisors can deliver truly bespoke solutions aligned to each client's goals, values, and tax needs—without sacrificing scale or efficiency."

The new offering includes a suite of actively and passively managed direct indexing strategies with $100,000 account minimums:

• SSGA Global Equity Direct Index Portfolio
• SSGA US Large Cap Quality Direct Index Portfolio

"Historically, direct indexing has been costly and cumbersome to implement, limiting most investors' ability to take advantage of its potential benefits. However, the combination of the desire to personalize portfolios at scale and technological innovation has made it possible to bring direct indexing to investors of all sizes," said Allison Bonds Mazza, Senior Managing Director, Head of Intermediary at State Street Global Advisors. "Together with Envestnet, we aim to make it easier for investors to efficiently and cost-effectively personalize their portfolios via direct indexing. We are proud of what our partnership with Envestnet has produced, and we look forward to even more innovative developments going forward."  

These strategies are offered in partnership with QRG Capital Management, Envestnet's in-house investment team and a pioneer in implementing direct indexing within the UMA construct.

With direct indexing, investors hold the individual securities that make up an index, rather than pooled vehicles like ETFs or mutual funds. This structure enables enhanced tax management, such as tax-loss harvesting, along with the flexibility to incorporate personal values or investment preferences. Historically reserved for high-net-worth clients due to complexity and cost, direct indexing is now broadly accessible thanks to advancements in automation, fractional share trading, and zero-commission platforms.

"Direct indexing represents the next chapter in personalized portfolio construction," said Aaron Bauer, Strategic Partnership Head for Envestnet. "By bringing together the scale and innovation of State Street Global Advisors with the integrated technology of the Envestnet platform, we're helping advisors unlock the full potential of tailored, tax-efficient investment solutions."

The direct indexing collaboration between Envestnet and State Street Global Advisors was announced today at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas during the Elevate 2025 session "Partnering to Unlock Efficiency, Scale, and Growth," which discussed actionable insights into how Envestnet's partnerships can help advisors drive success and improve client outcomes. Envestnet and State Street thought leaders will discuss "How a Low-Cost Managed Account Program Can Evolve Your Business" at 1:45 p.m. PDT today with Elevate participants. State Street will also be presenting "The Growth Imperative: Delivering Value Amid Change and Opportunity," at 11:15 a.m. PDT and again at 2:45 p.m. PDT on Thursday, April 10.
