Unified Managed Accounts

What’s a UMA ?

A unified managed account (UMA) is a single investment account that can include various types of investment instruments. Investments may include mutual funds, stocks, bonds, unit investment trusts (UITs), and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Simply put, anything that can be held in a brokerage account can be held in a UMA.

Tell me more…

The individual allocations or slices of a UMA are called sleeves. The sleeves are populated with various assets to meet the needs of the investor(s). As such, UMAs are usually diversified model portfolios that are designed to meet the needs of clients with a particular risk tolerance. Using these standardized allocations or models for multiple clients makes the process repeatable and scalable.

Strategies

Although many investment advisors and financial planners create these models themselves, many others utilize the services of an investment strategist. Investment strategists utilize proprietary market research and allocation methodologies to create the model portfolios. These turnkey solutions allow advisors to focus their time and energy on client relationship management and financial planning.
