Approach

How we invest

Process over prediction.

Markets reward discipline more reliably than they reward forecasts. SMA Trading LLC is built around that idea: a documented, repeatable process that governs how capital is deployed, how risk is sized, and how positions are managed, so outcomes come from method, not mood.

Principles

Risk first. Every position starts with the question of what can be lost, not what can be made. Drawdown control and sizing come before return targets.

Repeatable framework. Entries, exits, and sizing follow a written process rather than discretion in the moment. That makes results reviewable and improvable over time.

Long-term alignment. The active book complements, rather than competes with, the multi-decade holdings of I & J Legacy Investments LLC, providing liquidity and flexibility alongside patient ownership.

Transparency. Professional registrations and history are a matter of public record, verifiable any time on FINRA BrokerCheck and the SEC’s IAPD.
