CONCORD, Calif., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AssetMark, Inc. a leading wealth management platform for independent financial advisors, today announced the expansion of its Direct Indexing program with new Index Separately Managed Account (SMA) strategies available through its Unified Managed Account (UMA) platform. The new strategies provide advisors with a flexible, cost-efficient way to implement equity market exposure within a unified portfolio framework.
As client portfolios become more complex, financial advisors are seeking more efficient ways to deliver customized, tax-aware investment strategies at scale. AssetMark’s expanded Direct Indexing program helps address this need by providing additional index options at more accessible investment minimums, allowing advisors to combine them with other active and passive investment strategies within the same custodial account. By bringing these strategies together in a unified account, advisors can personalize portfolios while streamlining management and implementation.
“Advisors are looking for investment solutions that deliver greater flexibility and customization without adding complexity,” said Michael Kim, Chief Executive Officer of AssetMark. “Expanding our Direct Indexing program reflects our commitment to continuously strengthening AssetMark’s wealth management platform with greater investment choice, integrated technology and tax-aware capabilities that allow advisors to grow their practices while providing a high-quality, bespoke client experience.”
The enhanced program enables advisors to apply AssetMark’s Tax Management Services (TMS) across eligible index and active SMA strategies within the same account. By embedding tax management directly into the investment process, advisors can leverage coordinated rebalancing, tax-smart optimization and personalized tax settings across the full portfolio, helping deliver more consistent tax-aware outcomes.
“No two clients have the same financial goals, tax considerations or investment preferences, and their portfolios should reflect those differences,” said David McNatt, Chief Wealth Solutions Officer at AssetMark. “Our Unified Managed Account platform gives advisors more flexibility to build holistic portfolios around each client’s unique financial picture rather than managing investment strategies in silos.”
