Separately Managed Accounts
Discover tailored investment strategies designed to meet your unique financial goals with BMA Advisors.
What Are Separately Managed Accounts?
An introductory paragraph explaining the concept of SMAs in clear, accessible language, highlighting how they offer a more direct and personalized investment approach compared to traditional mutual funds.
An SMA is a private portfolio of assets managed by a professional investment firm. Unlike mutual funds where assets are pooled, with an SMA, you directly own the individual securities in your account. This provides a level of transparency, control, and customization that is ideal for sophisticated investors.
