Smithbrook Strategic Equity

A tax-aware, risk-managed equity strategy delivered through separately managed accounts.

Premise

Equities compound wealth; drawdowns are the toll.

The conventional response — bonds and cash — manages risk by stepping out of equities, with costs that are easy to understate. SSE manages risk within the equity allocation instead.

Components

A single integrated strategy, three working parts.

Indexed equity core

A passive core that delivers broad equity exposure with low cost and low turnover.

Actively managed options overlay

Sized to moderate severe drawdowns; capital-efficient by design.

Tax-aware execution

Lot-level execution that compounds the after-tax outcome over time.

The components are designed to work together, engaging market volatility rather than avoiding it.

Constants

What we hold constant.

  • After-tax compounding
  • Risk-managed equities
  • Capital-efficient design
  • Listed instruments
  • Transparent structure
Disclosure

Smithbrook Strategic Equity invests in equities and uses listed options. Equity investments are subject to market risk, including the loss of principal. The options overlay is intended to moderate severe drawdowns; it does not eliminate drawdowns and may underperform a long-only equity allocation in strongly rising markets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
