“Client demand continues to drive the growth of the SMArtX UMA platform, which enables us to add so many great firms like ARS Investment Partners and Piton Investment Management,” said Evan Rapoport, Founder and CEO of SMArtX Advisory Solutions. “We’re continuing to reinforce the platform in response to the adoption of SMArtX technology by advisory and enterprise firms alike.”
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 tailored UMA technology through APIs to meet the mandates of large enterprises, RIA platforms, and hybrid broker-dealers.
“The implementation of SMArtX not just as a technology vendor, but as a business partner helping our clients build their firms by establishing new revenue centers and scaling efficiencies is one of the core tenants of our growth,” said Jonathan Pincus, President and COO of SMArtX.
