A Smarter Structure for Taxable portfolios
We combine indexed equity exposure with an actively managed options overlay that manages risk within the equity allocation, engaging with market volatility rather than simply avoiding it. This structure supports loss harvesting across market cycles and channels volatility into potential after-tax advantage.The result is a differentiated approach that complements existing allocations, and seeks to improve capital efficiency while keeping risk and tax central to the process.
Key Design Principles
Tax-Aware
Supports loss harvesting across market cycles and helps manage the timing and character of gains within taxable portfolios.
Risk-Managed
Exposures are actively managed with the goal of moderating severe drawdowns and improving recovery dynamics.
Independent & Aligned
Implemented through SMAs that provide transparency, customization, and control.
Portfolio Complement
Designed to integrate with existing holdings — including concentrated positions or traditional diversifiers — while introducing risk management within the equity allocation.
