What is a Separately Managed Account (SMA)?

A separately managed account (SMA) is a professionally managed portfolio that provides broad-market exposure through direct ownership of individual securities. SMAs can be customized to align with investors’ goals, tax profiles, and personal values.

How Do SMAs Work?

In an SMA, the end investor has direct ownership of the assets, but the asset manager is responsible for making the actual trades and managing the portfolio. The asset manager typically charges a fee for their services, usually a percentage of the assets in the account.
