This integration allows for seamless, sleeve-level reporting and portfolio accounting of all SMArtX accounts through advisor-focused SS&C technology solutions.
SMArtX grants SS&C Advent advisors exclusive access to a UMA/SMA offering that provides intra-day liquidity on more than 150 investment strategies. Advisors gain access to long only, long/short, and options strategies, which are allocated into a single brokerage account.

SS&C Advent provides data integration and sleeve-level reporting services for accounts managed on SMArtX so that advisory clients of Black Diamond and other solutions have a seamless experience.
The SMArtX offering through SS&C complements other technology solutions from the firm including APX and GWP, which provide portfolio accounting support to manufacturer and distributor firms.
