What you get

Striking a balance between tax alpha and investment alpha.

Active Strategies

Implement either your preferred active manager or your own active strategy, not a passive index.

Tax overlay to match

We propose an overlay methodology built to fit the strategy, not a generic overlay.

Daily, lot-level tax-loss harvesting

Continuous harvesting at the individual lot level to capture losses as they arise.

Tax-aware transitions

Move a legacy, low-basis position into the strategy without a day-one tax hit.

Common use cases

When advisers use active SMAs

Seeking to generate investment alpha

Implement a portfolio with alpha targets, not simply market-tracking strategies.

Improve tax efficiency of strategies

Manage compliance for locked-up accounts

Highly appreciated accounts benefit from an alpha signal rather than acting as an expensive index product.

Manage strategy transitions

Minimize the impact of strategy changes, particularly when moving from an old manager to a new manager.
