No. I’m pretty sure your firm calls it that. If you personally manage your own clients’ discretionary accounts, then you wouldn’t have any use for it.
No, it’s not just Indy. In fact Wirehouses use them quite frequently. It’s basically a fee only account that has discretionary authority typically given to one or more professional money managers.
It's a way to have Bill Gross manage your FI holdings directly for you at the behest of the client. They can issue edicts on what securities can and can not be purchased (i.e. no tobacco holdings of any kind).If you guys really want to get into it, SMAs are largely governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940: Rule 3(a)-4. This is what keeps these sponsored programs from being considered Investment Company products.
Put simply, ithas to meet 5 basic requirements: 1. Must be managed on the basis of client's financial situation and objectives. 2. Client can impose reasonable restrictions. 3. Client receives a statement at least quarterly detailing the account activity and fees. 4. Client retains shareholder rights on each security (for the most part). 5. Personnel of the manager is available to the client.[quote=mlgone][quote=LSUAlum]No, it’s not just Indy. In fact Wirehouses use them quite frequently.

Again, this site is for learning so you can't assume 'everyone knows this'.Firms are only required to re-price every 18 months. However, some firms will update all client accounts when one client liquidates or purchases secondary shares of the REIT. Jones does this, so they get more accurate pricing more often than every 18 months. However, if no clients place transactions on a particular, then there's no updated price. Jones actually goes to the REIT's every 12 months for a price to be safer. Wouldn't surprise me if there was some $7.00 and $6.00 junk out there right now. I am waiting for pricing and bids on 3 of them right now. I'm holding my breath.Private REITs in fee based accounts is an issue (seperate from what you guys are discussing). The main reason is that you are lucky if the REIT is priced annually and potentially you can be charging fees on $10 share price when in reality it is $8.
