Portfolio diversification is the practice of spreading investments around so that exposure to any one type of asset is limited. Personalized portfolios refer to the creation of a portfolio that is tailored to a client’s investor profile, preferences, and goals. Tax loss harvesting is the timely selling of securities at a loss to offset the amount of capital gains tax owed from selling profitable assets. An individual taxpayer can write off up to $3,000 in net losses annually. Tax loss harvesting does not apply to short-term trades subject to the wash sale loss rule. At alphaAI, tax loss harvesting is done where applicable; however, the majority of trades made in client accounts are subject to the wash sale loss rule and do not qualify for tax loss harvesting. In these cases, losses, if any, are used to offset the cost basis, resulting in a lower amount of capital gain, if any. Dynamic portfolio adjustments are defined as actions taken to optimally position a client portfolio for changing market conditions based on their investor profile and risk tolerance. Automated risk management is defined as the automatic adjustment of client portfolio risk levels (such as net exposure, beta, and R2) in response to market conditions. Responsive downside protection is defined as actions taken in response to market conditions to protect clients from losses. Dynamic asset allocation is defined as active portfolio rebalancing to maximize gains and minimize losses in response to market conditions. Automated portfolio hedging is defined as the management of net exposure and long/short positions to hedge portfolios against potential market drawdowns.

This is the current 30-day yield SEC yield of JAAA, the high-yield fund we invest in for Smart Stash. This yield will fluctuate and is not a forecast or guarantee of future earnings. This fund trades on the open market and is therefore subject to market price fluctuations. Although the fund's price has exhibited a low volatility level over the past 5 years, the principal investment into the fund may experience a loss in market value, which is not accounted for in the chart. The yield shown is pre-tax and before fees and expenses. Actual earnings after taxes and fees will be lower and depend on numerous factors, including the magnitude of fees and expenses, the frequency of compounding, variability of the yield, and individual tax situations. On an after-tax, post-fee basis, the yields of the products shown in the chart could be the following: 1) Savings Account: 0.25%, 2) Wealthfront: 2.43%, 3) Betterment: 2.43%, 4) alphaAI: 3.58%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Smart Vault.

What is Smart Vault?

Smart Vault is a cash management feature that provides systematic exposure to market-based yield for funds held in your alphaAI Capital account. It is designed for cash you want working more actively than in a traditional bank account, while remaining accessible within your portfolio.

How is Smart Vault different from a high-yield savings account?

High-yield savings accounts earn interest through banks and may be FDIC insured. Smart Vault offers an alternative approach to managing cash, using market-based investments to pursue yield while keeping funds accessible within your alphaAI Capital account.

Is Smart Vault a bank account or FDIC insured?

No. Smart Vault is not a bank account and is not FDIC insured. Funds allocated to Smart Vault are held in your alphaAI Capital brokerage account and invested in market-based instruments. Assets are custodied at Alpaca Securities LLC, an SIPC-member brokerage, subject to applicable limits and conditions.

Can I access my money at any time?

Yes. Smart Vault does not have a lock-up period, and funds remain accessible within your alphaAI Capital account. Because Smart Vault uses market-based investments, liquidity is subject to normal market conditions and settlement timing.
