Why Investors Are Choosing SMA Structures

Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) allow investors to maintain direct ownership and visibility of their assets while accessing institutional-quality systematic trading infrastructure.

Client assets remain in brokerage accounts held in the client’s own name at all times. NovaQ receives limited trading authority only and cannot withdraw or transfer client funds.

Unlike traditional pooled investment structures, SMA investors benefit from:

  • Transparency – Full real-time view of all positions and trades.
  • Liquidity – No gate provisions or artificial lock-up periods.
  • Direct Custody – Assets stay secure in your private brokerage account.
  • Aligned Incentives – Clear, institutional fee structure.

NovaQ’s platform operates across highly liquid global markets using proprietary quantitative research systems, automated execution architecture, and real-time portfolio risk management.

Supported Markets Include:

Futures • Equities • FX • Commodities

The structure is designed for accredited investors seeking institutional systematic exposure while maintaining absolute transparency and control over their assets.
