Most professional investors face a trap disguised as a choice:
Buy expensive algorithmic trading software they can't operate, or hand capital to opaque hedge funds they cannot control.
Neither works.
The Software Problem: Operational Chaos
Software vendors sell you quantitative trading tools, then leave execution risk on your desk.
You own the complexity. The infrastructure. Every operational failure.
You bought the automated trading system. Now you have to run it.
The Fund Problem: Structural Surrender
Pooled investment funds promise alpha generation but demand you give up custody. Accept quarterly performance reporting delays. Trust black-box investment decisions you cannot verify.
Your capital. Their fund structure. Their redemption timeline.
Trading Results as a Service Changes the Equation
Professional investors shouldn't have to choose between operational chaos and blind faith.
Trading Results as a Service (TRaaS) changes that.
- You don't buy the AI trading software
- You don't manage trading infrastructure
- You don't give up asset custody
You pay performance fees for benchmark-beating investment returns, delivered directly into your Separately Managed Account.
Institutional-Grade Execution Without Institutional Baggage
Assets remain in your brokerage custody account. Your legal name. Your prime broker.
You retain full investment control. You see every securities transaction. Nothing happens to your capital without real-time visibility.
The portfolio manager executes trades under limited power of attorney but never touches principal or has custody access.
Incentives Are Finally Aligned
We earn performance fees only when you generate positive returns.
No software licensing fees for trading platforms you can't operate.
No annual management fees while your capital sits idle in a hedge fund structure or secretly tracks benchmark indices.
Performance-based compensation on investment results delivered directly into your managed account.
The SMA Structure Delivers What Was Always a False Choice
High-performance quantitative execution AND full capital custody control.
Modern portfolio management technology enables institutional-grade algorithmic trading across hundreds of separately managed accounts simultaneously.
The technology constraint that made pooled hedge fund structures necessary no longer exists.
TRaaS Isn't a Clever Acronym
It's the asset management category that should have existed from the beginning.
The investment model where you don't sacrifice custody rights for alpha generation, or investment performance for capital control.
Where operational complexity in algorithmic trading doesn't become your infrastructure problem, and capital liquidity doesn't require hedge fund redemption negotiations.
Professional capital allocation finally has a third option.
