Pioneering AI-Driven Direct Indexing Solutions Set to Transform Wealth Management, As Industry Giants Charles Schwab and BNY Mellon Pershing Enhance Their Offerings
In a significant step towards harnessing innovative technology for wealth management, Brooklyn Investment Group has forged a strategic partnership with Archer, a leading technology-enabled service provider. This alliance aims to equip Archer's clients with a fully integrated, Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) platform for personalized direct indexing and automated tax-loss harvesting.
This collaboration comes at a time when leading industry players, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and BNY Mellon Pershing, are enhancing their direct indexing services to address the increasing complexity of the wealth management market.
The partnership between Brooklyn and Archer will empower asset managers with an integrated platform, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for custom portfolios and strategies that extend beyond mere negative screening. This move mirrors similar advancements within the industry, with Charles Schwab recently introducing enhancements to its proprietary direct indexing solution, Schwab Personalized Indexing™. Likewise, BNY Mellon Pershing has recently announced its debut product in the direct indexing realm, BNY Mellon Precision Direct Indexing service.
These advances highlight the growing importance of direct indexing in the financial industry, even though a significant knowledge gap exists. In a recent survey conducted by The Wealth Advisor, a startling 70% of financial advisors admitted to having minimal understanding of how direct indexing operates.
To address this knowledge gap and cater to the burgeoning interest in direct indexing services, The Wealth Advisor will launch America's first-ever Direct Indexing Buyer’s Guide in mid-July. The guide aims to equip financial advisors nationwide with practical knowledge while providing direct indexing providers a platform to reach out to a vast network of advisors eager to learn.
In light of these developments, Brooklyn's CEO and former Goldman Sachs Managing Director, Erkko Etula, envisages a transformation of the asset management industry akin to the impact of ETFs on the mutual funds sector. John Nay, co-founder of Brooklyn, added that their sophisticated, AI-driven solution would empower asset managers to deliver large-scale customization and tax efficiency.
The Wealth Advisor also offers a unique sponsorship program, allowing direct indexing providers to engage with a potential audience of 330,000 Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and Broker-Dealer (BD) advisors.

This marked industry trend towards technological integration and strategic collaborations in the face of complex financial landscapes reaffirms a collective commitment towards investor-centric advancements. With the advent of AI and direct indexing, the wealth management industry stands poised for a dynamic evolution in the years to come.
