What is Direct Indexing?WhatisDirectIndexing?

Please consult with your tax advisor as PGIM Investments does not provide tax advice. Clients may be able to use losses from their Direct Indexing account to offset gains in other investments. After netting out short-term gains and losses and long-term gains and losses, investors have the option to use long-term losses to offset your short-term gains (and vice versa). Using short-term losses to offset long-term gains is generally not recommended because the long-term gains are taxed at a reduced rate. Using the short-term losses to offset regular income or carry them forward might be better use of any short-term losses that might be left over at the end of the year.

After-tax performance, tax alpha and after-tax excess returns are shown for maximum Federal tax rates. After-tax returns decrease as the investor's tax rate decreases. An investor should evaluate the after-tax performance shown above in light ofthe investor's applicable tax rate; the tax rates shown above are used for illustrative purposes only, results will vary by investor.
