Personalization at Scale

Archer's SMA solutions focus on helping investment firms build, customize, and distribute hyper-personalized retail portfolios at massive scale. Our tech-driven operations bypass traditional, manual middle-office bottlenecks to support growth without stretching capital.

The Full SMA Lifecycle, Unified

The Archer Platform unifies the full lifecycle of an SMA into a single, cloud-based interface.

Direct Indexing & Customization

Integrates automated tax-loss harvesting. Allows custom environmental, social, and governance (ESG) filters based on specific investor preferences for truly personalized portfolios.

Multi-Sleeve Account Architecture

Combines multiple investment strategies into a single, cohesive account framework. This simplifies multi-asset management for mass retail investors while preserving strategy independence.

Unified Order Management

Streamlines everything from account setup and asset valuation to portfolio rebalancing and trade execution — all through a single, integrated workflow.

Integrated Operations Support

Automates data synchronization, trade reconciliation across custodians, performance billing, and investor reporting. Eliminates manual bottlenecks throughout the operations chain.

Tax Optimization Engine

Sophisticated tax-loss harvesting algorithms that automatically identify and execute tax-efficient trades while maintaining portfolio alignment with target allocations.

ESG Preference Engine

Configure custom ESG screening criteria for each investor. Support for exclusion lists, sector tilts, and values-based constraints that align portfolios with individual investor beliefs.

From Strategy to Distribution

The Archer Platform connects your investment strategies directly to a broad multi-custodial distribution network.
