About Us
We are a rapidly growing, dedicated team of financial engineers, mathematicians, software developers and visionaries working together to transform the field of wealth management. We aim to make portfolio management frictionless, enabling every investor to benefit from levels of customization and tax management that were once the exclusive preserve of ultra-high net worth investors.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Smartleaf Asset Management LLC (SAM), is a sub-advisory service that uses our software to make portfolio management frictionless for wealth advisors and their clients.
We are devoted to doing things right, bringing a fiduciary standard of care to all that we do.
