SMArtX’s continued growth is driven by two main applications of its technology: the off-the-shelf TAMP offering, which is built using SMArtX Advisory Solutions’ proprietary UMA technology, and the ability to further deploy that tailored UMA technology through APIs to meet the mandates of large enterprises, RIA platforms, and hybrid broker-dealers.

“As financial technology evolves, enterprise firms continued to be faced with the same question for their legacy managed accounts technology: Replace or Integrate,” said Jonathan Pincus, President & COO of SMArtX. “Regardless of the strategic decision, SMArtX offers the same award-winning technology through its TAMP interface or through its API data feeds, each tailored to meet the needs of our clients.”
