How does it work?

Have a concentrated position?

Long Short is built for moments when a large tax event is on the horizon, whether that is a concentrated stock position, a business sale, or a real estate liquidation.

The more concentrated the position, the more value Long Short can deliver. By generating losses on both sides of the market from day one, it gives you a tax-efficient path to diversification.

Profile

Marcus sold a portfolio of rental properties for $4M after holding them for 15 years. Between capital gains and depreciation recapture, the sale turns into one of the largest tax events of his life. He wants to redeploy the proceeds into a diversified portfolio, but a big slice would go to the IRS before a single dollar gets reinvested.

Strategy

Vise builds a 145/45 long-short direct index with Marcus's sale proceeds, generating losses daily from the short book. Those losses offset the gains from the sale, realized in tax-efficient tranches over 6 years on a $0 annual tax budget. He moves out of a single illiquid asset and into a diversified portfolio without handing the gain to the IRS.

Sammie is a software engineer at Google with $250K in GOOGL from RSU vests over 5 years. Half of that is unrealized gains. She knows the concentration is risky but won't sell because the tax bill wipes out years of savings. Every earnings cycle she holds her breath and does nothing.

Strategy

Vise builds a 130/30 long-short direct index around her locked GOOGL position, generating losses daily from the short book. Those losses offset gains as GOOGL is sold in tax-efficient tranches over 5 years, with a $0 annual tax budget. She diversifies without writing a check to the IRS.

Maya spent 12 years building her company and just sold it for $5M. Most of that is gain, and the tax bill threatens to claw back years of the value she created. She wants to reinvest and diversify the proceeds, but every dollar she puts to work starts out behind once the IRS takes its cut.

Strategy

Vise builds a 130/30 long-short direct index with Maya's sale proceeds, generating losses daily from the short book. Those losses offset the capital gain from the sale, realized in tax-efficient tranches over 5 years on a $0 annual tax budget. She diversifies the windfall without writing a check to the IRS.

Based on 10-year rolling period simulations of an account incepted with cash and no additional inflows. Actual portfolio behavior may vary from these historical simulations. The Vise 145/45 strategy is a beta=1, long short extension portfolio with 45% leverage. The Vise Long only strategy is a traditional direct indexing strategy.
