Separately Managed Accounts

A Separately Managed Account ("SMA")3 allows clients to hold securities directly instead of being held as a commingled investment with other investors.

Tax-efficient investing4

This affords clients more control and flexibility in both how they are invested and how they realize taxes. In a typical comingled structure like a mutual fund, investors can be responsible for capital gains they have not themselves realized!

And in a worst-case scenario, investors can owe taxes on positions that are in a negative position. However, in an SMA clients only owe taxes on their actual realized gains, are unaffected by other unit holders, and can be selective about transacting on individual positions.
