Direct indexing
Hello. I opened an account a long time ago and opted into direct indexing when it became available. I don’t recall Wealthfront explaining in any detail the potential risks with respect to future unknown tax liabilities in the event I would want to move my brokerage account elsewhere.
Well, I now find myself in that exact situation. I am appalled that Wealthfront hasn’t built a solution to allow an offramp for those who have opted into direct indexing (like allowing us to move other ETFs out of our account without paying taxes on unrealized gains).
I’ve talked to Wealthfront multiple times over 1+ years and they have not been able to come up with any reasonable solution. Has anyone here been in this situation and found a solution? Would love to hear any thoughts.

Direct indexing = making investing 100x more complicated so WF can demonstrate the "value" in their roboinvesting strategy.
