FAQs

An SMA is a personalized investment account where your assets are managed by professionals according to a specific strategy. Unlike pooled funds, you retain ownership of your securities.

Managed accounts provide execution — we trade based on our signals, removing emotional decision-making and simplifying implementation. You get the full benefit of our models without having to monitor or act on signals yourself.

Each portfolio is powered by one or more of our proprietary models:

  • CPM: Protects against market corrections
  • Asbury 6: Gauges overall risk-on/risk-off environment
  • SEAF: Rotates into sectors with rising institutional interest

In most cases, we offer pre-allocated portfolios. RIAs may inquire about custom blends depending on AUM size and platform access.

We do. Once you select a strategy, your portfolio is managed professionally with model-driven trade execution.
