We're excited to announce our partnership with Seeds. 🤝
Seeds is the integrated investing, trading, and client engagement system for independent RIAs, and together we are the first to bring box spread financing inside a Unified Managed Account.
Until now, these loans required a separate account. Now the box spread loan operates as a sleeve within the client's Seeds UMA, powered by SyntheticFi's lending strategy. One place to manage the portfolio and the strategy, and a more holistic view for the advisor.
Thank you to Zachary Conway and the entire Seeds team. Excited to build this together. 🚀
Interested in the details? Read the full press release, link in the comments. 👇

Disclosure: Box spread and options strategies involve significant risks, including possible loss of principal, as well as margin, execution, and tax considerations. Suitability depends on individual circumstances.

Nolan Kelly's take: the two weeks right after the holidays are a critical window for Payer-to-Payer compliance, and most health plans aren't planning for it. Nolan and Kendra Obrist explain why in our webinar with POCP: go.1up.health/organic-social…

What’s next for financial infrastructure as it continues to move onchain?

“This kind of shift of the financial services doesn’t happen often and we’re very fortunate to be in this position right now,” said Yoshi.

Borrowing against an account usually means giving up control of it. Not here.
For an advisor, that control is the whole job. The rebalancing schedule, the SMA manager, the strategy you built for the client, none of it should have to pause because the client needs liquidity.
In this clip from our live session with 11th, SyntheticFi co-founder Joseph Wang takes a live question on exactly this, and explains why borrowing through us does not get in the way of how you or your SMA manager run the account.
The client gets the liquidity. You keep running the portfolio.
