SMArtX Advisory Solutions Expands Manager Marketplace
SMArtX Advisory Solutions, a key player in managed accounts technology, has recently expanded its Manager Marketplace by introducing 22 new strategies from four renowned asset management firms. This addition not only enriches the variety available on its platform but reinforces SMArtX's commitment to providing comprehensive investment solutions tailored to advisors and their clients.
New Entrants to the Manager Marketplace
The latest additions include strategies from Ancorato and NewEdge Investment Solutions, both of which specialize in structured notes. Furthermore, established firms such as Fidelity Institutional and Northern Trust Investments have expanded their offerings to include new ETF strategies and tax-sensitive equity solutions.
Ancorato's Contributions
Ancorato has brought into the fold their sophisticated Fixed Income Structured Notes strategy. This strategy aims to provide secure income while diversifying investment risk within portfolios, addressing the evolving needs of investors.
Fidelity Institutional Expands Offerings
Fidelity Institutional has introduced several Target Allocation ETF models, catering to different risk appetites and investment strategies. These models range widely, from a completely equity-heavy approach (Model 100/0) to those that allocate risk more conservatively (Model 10/90, Model 20/80, etc.). This diversified approach allows advisors to select models that best align with their client's goals.
Tax-Sensitive Strategies by Northern Trust Investments
Northern Trust Investments has also made significant contributions by launching a series of tax-sensitive strategies. These include DSP Tax-Sensitive Income and various growth-focused portfolios, designed to optimize tax efficiency for investors. These options give advisors tools to help clients navigate the complexities of tax implications on their investments.
NewEdge Investment Solutions Offerings
NewEdge Investment Solutions has stepped up with innovative offerings, namely the Structured Note Advisory Portfolio (SNAP) and Structured Note Income Portfolio (SNIP). These products are geared towards generating income and providing structured investment solutions that can help meet varying client investment objectives.
The Impact on Advisors and Asset Managers
Brad Haag, Executive Vice President at SMArtX, emphasized the importance of these expansions, stating, "We are thrilled to enhance our Manager Marketplace with these new strategies.
