Smart Investments Advisory Incorporated provides discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, businesses, institutions and non‑profit organizations, with a primary focus on personal and retirement accounts guided by an individualized Investment Policy Statement. Services include managed securities accounts and sub‑account institutional management, with implementation and custody typically arranged through a third‑party brokerage platform.

The firm’s process begins with a detailed interview to establish client objectives and risk tolerance, and portfolios are constructed from mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and fixed‑income investments to match those objectives. Advisors generally have discretionary authority to implement trades, may engage third‑party managers and research providers, and the firm discloses that it elects to pay certain transaction charges to its custodian, which can influence security selection and trading frequency.

Distinctive aspects of the firm include that its advisors are dually registered as registered representatives of LPL Financial and also conduct brokerage and insurance business outside the advisory practice, arrangements the brochure identifies as creating potential conflicts of interest and that may limit available products and custodial options. The firm also discloses a past arbitration involving a principal that was settled in 2016, and it generally serves non‑high‑net‑worth individual clients with a $100,000 minimum rather than focusing on high‑net‑worth households.
