About Our Team:

As the son of a coach, Matt grew up roaming the sidelines of football games and tagging along to local gyms during basketball season. Basketball was his sport, and he enjoyed being a part of some really good teams playing small college basketball. There was no better feeling than being a part of a winning team, collaborating with others, and working toward a specific goal. After college, Matt became fascinated with capital markets. It was hard to miss in the late 90’s, as stocks were running wild in the formation of the tech bubble. He made his way to the investment business in late 2000.

Sean Clark has 13 years of experience in the Financial Services Industry serving High Net Worth Families and Institutional Clients. Sean holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Economics from Clemson University and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Risk Management from New York University. Areas of expertise include Financial Planning and Portfolio Management, specializing in applied mathematics and risk.

How can high-net-worth families and business owners protect their wealth and maximize tax efficiency in today’s volatile markets?

This week on Live Life Liberated, Sean Clark, Partner at Centura Wealth Advisory, and Chris Osmond, Chief Investment Officer, unpack the impactful power of direct indexing. This personalized approach combines tax loss harvesting and tailored portfolios to deliver tax alpha, potentially adding 0.5%–2% annually to your returns.

Tune in as Sean and Chris explore how direct indexing could optimize taxable accounts, prepare you for significant liquidity events, and manage concentrated stock positions—all while aligning your portfolio with your unique values.

Talking points include:

  • How direct indexing allows you to own individual stocks that replicate an index, offering greater flexibility and tax optimization through Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
  • How tax alpha is created by leveraging tax loss harvesting to offset gains and income, particularly in volatile markets, adding a potential of 0.5%–2% annually to your portfolio returns
  • Why personalized portfolios can align with your values (e.g., excluding specific industries) while tailoring exposures to fit your unique financial goals
  • The best use cases for direct indexing include maximizing tax benefits in taxable accounts, preparing for liquidity events, and managing concentrated stock positions for executives
  • Why Centura Wealth Advisory partnered with Aperio, a BlackRock-backed leader, to provide institutional-grade customization, monthly tax harvesting, and cutting-edge algorithms
  • How direct indexing offers cost-efficiency, with fees comparable to ETFs (20 basis points), ensuring all added tax efficiency goes directly to you
  • And much more!
