What is Smartria?

Smartria is a purpose-built RIA compliance software platform for managing and automating SEC and FINRA compliance programs. The platform is designed for registered investment advisors and can be customized around the compliance requirements, policies, workflows, and organizational structure of individual firms. Its compliance management capabilities centralize tasks, forms, regulatory deadlines, alerts, reminders, filings, records, and other recurring compliance activities. Automated workflows allow firms to reduce manual work associated with processes such as new employee onboarding, regulatory filings, employee oversight, and ongoing compliance administration. Marketing review tools manage the submission, review, approval, and rejection of marketing materials while automatically maintaining records of those decisions. Employee attestation capabilities document employee acknowledgments related to codes of ethics, outside business activities, personal holdings, political activities, insider relationships, and other compliance requirements. Smartria also provides trade monitoring with customizable trade rules, pre-clearance workflows, front-running alerts, and support for Know Your Client and Know Your Employee requirements. Vendor management functionality helps compliance teams maintain vendor information and monitor security certifications, vendor attestations, and reported incidents. Access and activity logging combined with reporting tools provide records of employee participation and compliance activity that can help firms prepare for regulatory audits. Smartria supports boutique RIAs, growing advisory firms, and enterprise organizations, with enterprise capabilities including branch management and SOC 2-aligned security infrastructure. Compliance consulting firms can use multi-client access, content publishing, and in-app communications to manage compliance programs for multiple RIA clients from the platform.
