Esther Crawford ✨ @TwitterBlue what if u just gave some people 2 blue checkmarks. and then if ppl want more checkmarks they can keep paying $8 and get more checkmarks. maybe let people buy as many as 10 or so checkmarks? i think i have solved your problems.

signal should have a notification for when there *isn't* an update

Frec launched a direct indexing into S&P500 product yesterday, we wrote up a white paper on the approach and on fairly extensive simulation results. It's an interesting read just from a ML/data science perspective: frec.com/resources/blog…

How does direct indexing compare to the ETF-to-ETF tax loss harvesting offered by robo-advisors like Wealthfront and Betterment? The answer: direct indexing can capture up to 2x more capital losses, resulting in significantly more tax savings.

We wrote a white paper on transaction costs for direct indexing, another neat read from a DS perspective. I was surprised to see just how (and how consistently) much bid-ask spreads change intra-day. frec.com/resources/blog…

Our team built a prototype of how Frec could seamlessly integrate with AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude through the MCP protocol. Imagine your favorite AI assistant having access to your financial picture so it can offer personalized and sophisticated wealth advice
