Amplify the power of direct indexing through better indexes

Who are we? Discover the journey that led to the BX Vision

The rapidly growing direct index market promises excellent prospects for investors, including tax-loss harvesting, personalisation and ESG compliance.
So we decided to create BX Index, a dedicated platform aimed at optimizing strategies, managing risk and improving portfolios.
However, most current direct indexes have an unmanageably large number of holdings and do not take full advantage of the potential for alpha, yield, or risk management. We believe that this can not only be provided, but with a much more manageable number of holdings.

An Upgrade. That's what we do


We are putting the power back into the hands of financial advisors

Navigate the evolution from the Past to the Future with BX Index. Peering through the lens of time, let's discern the milestones and turning points in the world of indexing.
1980's
Mutual Funds Were used as an investment option offering broad diversification, professional management, and instant diversification.
But they were not perfect, as:
◆ Limited transparency

◆ Limited liquidity

◆ No direct ownership of stock
◆ High Expenses

◆ Tax Inefficiency

◆ Lack of personalization; investors were part of a large ownership group
1990's
Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs): Offered personalized ownership, transparency, and tax efficiency, allowing investors to directly own individual accounts, observe holdings, all managed by the same trusted companies as mutual funds.
But they were not perfect, as:
◆ Still expensive with high minimum investments

◆ Lower liquidity compared to other options
◆ They were apprehensive to sell losses, to harvest tax loss - the structural function was devoid of tax loss
2000's
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): Introduced primarily as an indexation vehicle ETF’s offered more flexible investment option with instant liquidity, no minimum investment, and lower expenses than mutual funds and SMAs.
But they were not perfect, as:
◆ Still bundled with other investors

◆ Less customization
◆ Limited transparency

◆ No direct ownership of stock
2020's
Direct Indexing (DI): Introduced to address common negatives of lack of customisation and offer tax loss-loss-harvesting options by providing customization and tax optimization.
But they were not perfect, as:
◆ High number of holdings (100s)

◆ Closed architecture
◆ Designed for mediocre (benchmark) performance

Please see the index fact sheets for more information about any specific index, including launch date. Some of these indices contain data that reflect “hypothetical” or “back-tested” returns. All information prior to an index’s launch date is hypothetical(back-tested), not actual performance, and is based on the index methodology in effect on the index launch date applied to the universe at the time. Complete index methodology is available upon request. Back-tested performance reflects application of an index methodology and selection of index constituents with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected its performance and may be considered to reflect survivor bias. Actual returns may differ significantly from, and be lower than, back-tested returns. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Back-tested performance is for use with institutions/financial professionals only and is not for use with retail investors.

Index returns do not represent the actual trading of investable assets/securities. Index One maintains the index and calculates index levels and performance shown but does not manage actual assets. Returns shown do not reflect any sales charge or investment management fees that may have been paid.
