Earned’s investment philosophy focuses first on your financial goals as a doctor, then creates personalized strategies factoring in your preferences, financial and tax circumstances, income, personal balance sheet, goals and aspirations.
Personalized attention from your Earned Advisor – a fiduciary, legally obligated to act in your best interest
Tax-smart investment strategies powered by advanced technology
Premier private investment funds (private equity, real estate, and debt) for qualified investors
Doctors pay a lot in taxes. Minimizing the tax drag on your investments is a key to wealth acceleration. Tax-smart investing – including custom indexing, tax efficient portfolio transitioning, tax loss harvesting, and asset location – can generate up to 180 basis points in annualized tax savings*, leaving more dollars to grow your net worth over time.
This doctor saw over $1,000,000 in tax savings when his Earned Advisor utilized custom indexing to own individual securities typically bundled in a mutual fund or ETF and then strategically capture tax losses on his overall earnings. This doctor can now reinvest those savings to continue maximizing potential earnings and his overall net worth. Scenarios presented are for illustration purposes and may not be typical of all clients. Individual results will vary.

Your assets are custodied at Fidelity and protected by SIPC. As one of the nation’s largest institutional custodians, Fidelity oversees $12.6 trillion in assets under administration as of December 31, 2023. Fidelity’s financial stability, its compliance with industry regulations, and its insurance protection via the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) all serve to help safeguard your investments. Investing involves risk. SIPC does not guarantee any level of performance and does not protect against investment losses.
We make opening an account simple and easy. Start by scheduling a meeting to speak with an Earned team member. From there, our wealth management agreement can be digitally signed to initiate the transition of your assets to Earned to manage.

Client Tax Savings is the combined Tax Savings calculation for a subset of clients invested in the Custom Indexing Global ADR strategy, subadvised by Brinker Capital Investments, LLC, a registered investment advisor. The Tax Savings calculation goal is to quantify the value-add of tax management by measuring the benefit from (1) tax loss harvesting, (2) transitioning legacy securities with unrealized gains, and (3) the growth of the savings from 1 and 2, by the rate of return of the portfolio.
Average Tax Loss Harvesting Savings is the average taxable benefit of realized losses for a subset of clients invested in the Custom Indexing Global ADR strategy, subadvised by Brinker Capital Investments, LLC, a registered investment advisor. Tax Loss Harvesting is a process by which securities trading at unrealized losses are proactively sold to realize a taxable loss, used to offset capital gains. Proceeds from the sales are then used to reinvest in similar securities to maintain market exposure.
The Tax Savings and Tax Loss Harvesting Savings calculations will be heavily influenced by the assumed tax rates, which can be specified at the investor level. If no tax rate is specified, the maximum short- and long-term Federal and State tax rates will be assumed.
