What Is Direct Indexing?
You've probably heard of index funds—they're a simple way to invest in many companies at once. Direct indexing takes this concept further and unlocks powerful benefits.
Traditional Index Fund/ETF
- You own shares in a fund
- The fund owns the actual stocks
- Everyone gets the same thing
- Limited customization
- No tax-loss harvesting on individual stocks
Direct Indexing with Tessellare
- You own each stock directly
- Your name is on every share
- Personalized to your preferences
- Remove companies you don't like
- Save on taxes throughout the year
The Companies You're Missing
When you invest only in US stocks, you're excluding some of the world's most successful and innovative companies. Here are just a few examples:
LVMH
World's largest luxury
ASML
Advanced chip manufacturing
Samsung
Global tech leader
Toyota
World's largest automaker
Taiwan Semi
Makes chips for Apple & Nvidia
Novo Nordisk
Ozempic & weight-loss leader
Nestlé
World's largest food company
Tencent
WeChat & gaming giant
Over 40,000 publicly traded companies exist outside the United States, representing approximately 50% of global stock market value.
A US-only portfolio means missing thousands of exceptional companies worldwide. Of course, if you prefer to focus on US companies, we support that too—the key is having the choice and flexibility to implement your preferred strategy.
Why Own Companies from Around the World?
The US represents about half of global stock market value. Concentrating entirely in one country means missing opportunities and accepting unnecessary risk.
Access Exceptional Companies
LVMH, ASML, Samsung, Toyota, Nestlé—thousands of world-class companies don't trade on US exchanges.
Markets Rotate Leadership
From 2000-2009, international stocks significantly outperformed. From 2010-2019, US stocks led. Future winners are unpredictable.
Reduce Concentration
Don't put all investments in one country, even one with strong historical performance. Geographic diversification reduces risk.
That said, the choice is yours. Tessellare supports US-only, global, or combined strategies.
Step 1: Choose Your Starting Point
Select the index or indices you want to track. You can maintain multiple portfolios with different strategies simultaneously.
Standard Global Indices
MSCI World, MSCI ACWI, FTSE All-World
~1,300-3,000 companies across developed and emerging markets
US Indices
S&P 500, Russell 3000, Nasdaq-100
Focus on US market opportunities
Regional/Sector Indices
Specific geographic regions or market sectors
Europe, Asia-Pacific, Technology, Healthcare, etc.
Custom Index
Build from scratch with your specific criteria
Custom benchmark created for performance tracking
Tracking multiple indices? We monitor your total exposure across all portfolios. If the same stock appears in different indices (like Apple in both S&P 500 and MSCI World), we ensure your combined position stays appropriately balanced.
You own the actual stocks directly—not a fund—regardless of which strategy you choose.
Step 2: Make It Yours
What this means:
Adjust your portfolio to match your preferences. This step is entirely optional—you can stick with the standard index composition if you prefer.
Examples of customization:
- • Remove entire industries: "I don't want to own tobacco or weapons manufacturers"
- • Adjust geographic exposure: "I want more European stocks and fewer Asian stocks"
- • Exclude specific companies: "I already own a lot of Apple through my company stock, leave it out"
- • Add values-based filters: "Only include companies with strong environmental practices"
Important: Even with customization, your portfolio still remains diversified across many companies and countries.
Step 3: We Manage It Automatically
Our technology continuously monitors and optimizes your portfolio—no manual intervention required.
Tax-Loss Harvesting
Reduce taxes year-round by automatically selling losses and staying invested.
Rebalancing
Maintain target allocation by trimming overweight positions.
Index Tracking
Keep portfolio aligned with your chosen index and customizations.
Fractional Shares
Own exactly the right amount—perfect diversification, no idle cash.
Cross-Portfolio Coordination
Monitor total exposure across portfolios to prevent excessive single-stock concentration.
You stay invested. We optimize continuously.
Step 4: See Everything, Anytime
What this means:
Log in whenever you want to see exactly what you own, how it's performing, and how much you're saving in taxes.
What you'll see:
- • Every company you own, with current values
- • Your exposure by country: "I own 40% US companies, 25% European, 20% Asian, 15% other"
- • Tax savings generated through our automated harvesting
- • Performance compared to your chosen benchmark—whether a standard index like MSCI World or your custom benchmark created specifically for your portfolio
- • Any trades we've made and why
Complete transparency, zero jargon, always accessible.
That's it. Choose your starting point, customize if you want, then let our technology handle the sophisticated work while you stay informed about exactly what you own.
Every Dollar Works for You
We Use Fractional Shares
Example: Stock costs $500/share, you need $50 worth?
We buy exactly 0.1 shares for you.
Every company in your index, in exactly the right proportion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct indexing means owning the individual stocks that comprise an index, rather than buying a fund. This unlocks tax-loss harvesting, customization, and transparency benefits that funds cannot provide.
Geographic diversification reduces portfolio risk, provides access to different economic cycles and growth opportunities, and ensures you're not overly concentrated in one country's market—even if that country has historically performed well.
With an ETF, you own shares in a fund structure. With Tessellare, you own the actual stocks directly. This enables tax-loss harvesting on individual positions, complete customization, and full transparency into your holdings.
Yes, we plan to expand internationally after our initial US launch. We're starting in the US because it offers the most developed regulatory framework for investment advisors, which allows us to establish our platform on a solid foundation. However, our long-term vision is to serve sophisticated investors globally. If you're outside the US, we encourage you to join our waitlist—we'll notify you when Tessellare becomes available in your market. Expansion timelines will depend on regulatory approval processes in each jurisdiction.
We'll provide details on specific markets and exchanges before launch. Our focus is on liquid, established markets across developed and emerging economies.
Tessellare offers both standard indices (such as MSCI World, MSCI ACWI, and FTSE All-World) and fully custom index creation. If you have specific investment goals, sector preferences, geographic allocations, or unique criteria that standard indices don't address, we can build a personalized index from scratch tailored to your exact specifications, complete with a custom benchmark to track your portfolio's performance.
You have complete flexibility. You can track US-only indices (like the S&P 500 or Russell 3000), global indices (like MSCI World), regional indices, or create custom indices. You can also maintain multiple separate portfolios—for example, one tracking the S&P 500 and another tracking international markets. Tessellare provides direct indexing benefits regardless of your geographic allocation preference.
Yes. You can maintain separate portfolios tracking different indices simultaneously. For example, you might have one portfolio tracking the S&P 500 for US exposure and another tracking MSCI ACWI ex-USA for international exposure. Each portfolio is independently managed, customized, and tax-optimized.
We monitor your total exposure across all portfolios you hold with Tessellare. Large companies like Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA appear in both US indices (S&P 500, Russell 3000) and global indices (MSCI World, MSCI ACWI). If the same stock appears in multiple indices you're tracking, we ensure your combined position remains appropriately sized and doesn't create excessive concentration risk, while each portfolio maintains its target index correlation.
International stocks naturally provide currency diversification. We'll provide detailed information on our currency handling approach, including whether and how we hedge currency exposure, before launch.
Different currencies add diversification. Over time, currency effects are modest. We'll provide full details before launch.
No. We handle the complexity. You just need to understand the concept: own companies worldwide.
All investing has risk. But spreading across many countries and companies actually reduces concentration risk.
You can own precise portions of stocks (like 0.5 shares). This means perfect diversification without needing huge amounts of money.
2026. We're currently incorporating and applying for SEC registration.
