Frec: Tax-aware investing

Frec

About this app

Take control of your financial future with the Frec mobile app, and get direct access to strategies once limited to high-fee advisors and the ultra-wealthy.

CLASSIC DIRECT INDEXING
Track popular indices like the S&P 500 or S&P 500® Information Technology with automatic tax loss harvesting. Customize the index by adding, excluding, or adjusting the weights of stocks and sectors.

LONG SHORT DIRECT INDEXING
Tilt your portfolio to seek excess market returns while unlocking more opportunities to harvest tax losses than a classic direct index.

DIVERSIFY
Reduce concentration risk from day one, and turn concentrated stocks into a diversified portfolio with minimal tax impact over time.

PORTFOLIO LINE OF CREDIT
Access cash by borrowing against your portfolio with a low interest line of credit instead of selling your stocks. No credit check required, and our rate is always the Effective Federal Funds Rate + 1%.

EARN YIELD ON IDLE CASH
Maximize yield on idle cash and easily manage recurring deposits with our secure and highly liquid Treasury.

TRADE WITHOUT COMMISSION FEES
Invest in individual stocks and ETFs with zero commission fees, and easily transfer stocks from other brokerages.

Ratings and reviews

A little buggy. Mostly to do with sign on. keeps forgetting my login and I have to do 2fa multiple times a day. App itself seems solid enough for direct indexing though.
