Custom Indexing & ESG Solutions

Take Control of Your Investments with Custom Indexing
Tired of one-size-fits-all portfolios? Discover how we can build a personalized investment strategy that aligns with your goals, values, and financial success.

 

Your Values. Your Goals. Your Portfolio.
At Houston First Financial Group, we understand that your financial journey is unique. That’s why we’re proud to offer Custom Indexing and ESG Solutions—an innovative approach to investing that provides unmatched personalization, tax efficiency, and alignment with your values.

 

Traditional Investments Don’t Offer Full Control
Most investment strategies rely on mutual funds or ETFs, which limit your ability to control exactly where your money goes. Whether you’re concerned about avoiding certain industries, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles, or optimizing for taxes, these traditional options may fall short of your needs.

 

What is Custom Indexing?
Custom Indexing allows you to directly own the individual stocks that make up an index—like the S&P 500—while tailoring your portfolio to reflect your preferences. With this strategy, you can:

  • Exclude industries or companies that don’t align with your values.

  • Overweight stocks or sectors you believe in.

  • Harvest tax losses to reduce your taxable income.

  • Incorporate ESG principles to invest in a way that aligns with your ethics.

By working with our team, we deliver this cutting-edge investment solution in a seamless format tailored to your goals.

FAQs Section 

What is the difference between custom indexing and ETFs?
ETFs bundle stocks into a single fund, but custom indexing gives you direct ownership of individual stocks, providing greater control and tax benefits.

How does ESG fit into custom indexing?
You can exclude industries or companies that don’t align with your values (e.g., fossil fuels, tobacco) and focus on those that prioritize sustainable practices.

What are the tax benefits?
Our tax-loss harvesting strategies allow you to offset gains with losses, minimizing your taxable income and improving your after-tax returns.

How much customization is possible?
You can fully customize your portfolio by choosing industries, sectors, or specific companies to exclude or overweight.
