1 The 21x figure is based on a tax alpha of 2.11% above market performance and Frec’s 0.10% annual fee. The 2.11% projection was generated by Frec’s Direct Indexing Model tracking the S&P 500 and is hypothetical, does not reflect actual investment results, and is not a guarantee of future results. The simulations were run to tax loss harvest on a weekly basis in a ten-year time frame of ninety day increments from 12/17/2003 – 6/10/22 with a $50,000 initial deposit. The simulations averaged at the end of year ten resulted in a 45.1% accumulated tax loss savings that were reinvested with a 42.3% tax rate, and includes Frec’s 0.10% fee, resulting in a 2.11% additional return. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

4 Frec allows you to borrow a maximum of 70% of your portfolio value. The amount available to borrow (maximum line of credit) is based on the positions in your portfolio (loan to value of positions range from 0% to 75%). The initial borrow amount available is typically 50% of your portfolio value. This amount can gradually increase to a maximum of 70% when your portfolio appreciates in value. If you transfer assets from another broker, the initial borrow amount received can be higher than 50% if you have accumulated sufficient value in your Special Memorandum Account (SMA) at the delivering broker and the value is sent to us with the transfer. If you are transferring assets from a portfolio margin account, please contact help@frec.com to update your SMA.
