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.
“Offering manager-traded and model delivery strategies through our unified managed account platform provides a centralized solution for our clients to administer their entire investment workflow,” said Jonathan Pincus, President & COO of SMArtX. “The SMArtX platform, with its API-first, cloud-native technology continues to support some of the advisory industry’s largest firms as they continue to replace their existing managed accounts technology with SMArtX’s tailored solutions.”
