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.
SMArtX President & COO Jonathan Pincus emphasized that “the ability to effectively gain access to and continuously trade strategies in volatile markets has become a necessity for advisors growing their practice. Instead of spending hours or even days moving in and out of positions across accounts, we leverage technology to decrease the operational burden of trading, and allow advisors more time to find and cater to clients.”
