I want to call my bank and take Boeing out of the composition of my personalized synthetic index fond. Sadly, nobody offers that.

You can just buy all the stocks of the S&P 500 minus Boeing.

Yeah but that's a lot of individual purchases I have to maintain and regularly rebalance. The fees alone would destroy it.

I want "buy all S&P stocks minus Boeing" to be as easy and cheap as "buy Boeing".

FWIW InteractiveBrokers charges per share, not per transaction. You could theoretically automate rebalancing.

I know it's overall pretty daft, but I've also had the 'personal ETF' idea.
