I wish lower minimums were available for SMA's so more investors could experience the benefits of personally owning shares in each of the stocks chosen by the manager of the SMA.
Thank you for this. It seems to me a SMA is similar to an old fashioned account with a stockbroker who manages it for an investor for a fee. Is it that or something else? It appears that with SMAs one can have several portfolios, each managed by a different manager, though.

I have been managing my own stock and bond portfolio since I bought my first stock at age 17. It has been more like a hobby as most of my assets have been in commercial real estate. Yet I will reach 80 early next year and have grown weary of the headaches active real estate management involves. In fact next year I plan on selling another multimember LLC owned property. That will leave me with only a handful of properties I own entirely (without others) which should hopefully mean fewer headaches.

Being a fan of Consuelo Mack and Bill Miller I may go with some of his ideas (not the Bitcoin). GREAT VALUE INVESTOR BILL MILLER DISCUSSES HIS CORE HOLDING WINNERS AND RECENT PROMISING ADDITIONS : WealthTrack
