Services Investment Planning UMAs (Unified Managed Accounts)

UMAs (Unified Managed Accounts)

Multiple strategies and asset classes consolidated into a single, cleanly managed account.

One account, many strategies, simpler oversight.

A Unified Managed Account (UMA) combines multiple investment strategies—SMAs, ETFs, mutual funds, even individual securities—into a single account with one overall portfolio manager coordinating allocation and rebalancing.

The advantage

  • One statement, one performance report. Easier to evaluate and explain.
  • Coordinated rebalancing. Trades happen with the full picture in mind, not strategy-by-strategy.
  • Tax overlay. A single manager can harvest losses and manage tax impact across the whole account.
  • Simpler than juggling a dozen accounts at different custodians.

When UMAs make sense
