The SMArtX and TradePMR Relationship Brings SMArtX’s Award-Winning Technology Directly into the Hands of TradePMR Advisors without Any Account Re-Papering
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 31, 2023 – SMArtX Advisory Solutions (“SMArtX”), a leading innovator in unified managed accounts (UMA) technology and architect of the SMArtX turnkey asset management platform (‘TAMP’), and TradePMR, a technology and custodial services provider, today announced they have teamed up to help financial advisors manage their managed accounts business more efficiently. The relationship enables TradePMR advisors to access SMArtX’s award-winning UMA technology, including their full model marketplace, automated rebalancing, tax harvester, cash management, billing, and Advisor as a PM tools to effectively manage their advisory business at scale.
The relationship gives TradePMR advisors a more cost-effective TAMP solution than the current offering, helping advisors improve profitability and provide better value to their clients.

“We are excited to bring our UMA technology to TradePMR advisors,” remarked Evan Rapoport, the Founder and CEO of SMArtX Advisory Solutions. “SMArtX and TradePMR both want to help advisors run their business better and faster in today’s marketplace. We aim to do this by reducing the amount of manual work and tasks required to administrate managed accounts and providing them with the necessary tools to make it easier.”

It can help address evolving client expectations, react to a volatile market, and ultimately, we believe, achieve firm growth.
