Description of Firm
Index Technologies Group, LLC ("ITG") is a registered investment adviser based in New York, NY. We
are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Delaware. We began
conducting business in 2023 following the approval of our investment advisor registration by the
Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We are primarily owned by Index Technologies Holdings,
LLC.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to ITG and the words "you,"
"your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as
defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor owes a duty of loyalty,
fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to disclose and/or mitigate potential conflicts of
interest. ITG's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics.
ITG currently offers different investment strategies to Clients, with some strategies focusing on
enhancing various indices and others creating custom indices. These strategies are designed for
investors with varying degrees of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to
a more conservative investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in one of our strategies
may not set restrictions on the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of
securities that can be purchased in the model. Nonetheless, Clients can impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities in their account. We will provide you with a
checklist, which is used to indicate if there are certain types of securities you do not want included (i.e.,
faith and values-based exclusions, as well as individual industry groups like carbon, cannabis, tobacco,
etc.). Please note that, depending on the extent of the restrictions, you could be prevented from
investing in certain strategies that are managed by our firm. Any restrictions or guidelines must be in
writing and agreed to by both parties before investing is undertaken.
Our strategies are focused exclusively on publicly traded companies and offered through separately
managed accounts, where clients hold the securities directly. Our process is to evaluate all publicly
available data on the stocks in a given category for our proprietary criterion expressed through different
algorithms. Stock selection is based on measured levels of desirability, first on our financial and
business metrics, then on any applicable values preferences or requirements. Stocks are researched,
selected and rebalanced in quarterly intervals. The construction of the strategies from those stocks
initially selected varies by strategy, but generally relies upon our interpretation of the fundamentals
and optimization, rather some standard formula, such as equal or cap weighted. We offer eight
enhanced indices, which refers to our process of modifying an existing index. We also offer six custom
indices,
which are indices that we have curated, developed and created ourselves.
Our current strategies include:
SuperDex
ITG offers enhanced and custom indices derived from proprietary algorithms applied to the available
data of the constituents of each index. The stocks are screened and sorted based on our criterion, then
selected for investment in a separate account format and rebalanced every quarter.

MultiDex
ITG offers rules-based screening and composition of exchange traded funds that are focused on
various asset classes as an alternative to a single fund or manager. Our strategies are offered in
separately managed accounts, rescreened and rebalanced quarterly. In a typical quarter an investor
would own five to ten exchange traded funds in their approach to a specific asset class.
AlternaDex
ITG offers liquid alternative strategies designed to replicate various investment objectives in separate
accounts with daily liquidity. Our process it to discover popular alternative strategies, commonly found
in hedge funds, and recreate them in an effort to offer investors exposure to the perceived opportunity
with increased transparency and liquidity. Some of these strategies include hybrid securities,
concentrated positions and short sales of common stock.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authority allows us to determine the
specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account, and the
timing of purchases and sales, without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority
is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate
trading authorization forms.
Our custom indexing strategies are offered to Clients on a fee-based discretionary basis. We will
screen and update our custom indexing strategies quarterly. Certain market situations might call for
more frequent screening and rebalancing. Please refer to the Account Reviews section for further
details. We retain the discretion for stock selection within very defined criterion and universes for each
strategy. Your portfolio management agreement will dictate your chosen strategy. After you are
invested in the chosen strategy, we do not have discretion to change the strategy or move funds
between strategies without your consent.
Types of Investments
We offer advice on equity securities, corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper),
certificates of deposit, municipal securities, United States government securities, private placements,
money market funds, REITs, derivatives, structured products, ETFs, interests in partnerships investing
in real estate, and interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each Client’s specific financial strategy and
goals, the investment advice we provide to you can be different or conflicting with the advice we give to
other Clients regarding the same security or investment.
