Centennial, CO Office

SyntheticFi provides investment advisory and sub-advisory services to other registered investment advisers, as well as discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to individuals, corporations, and small businesses. The firm’s primary offering is portfolio management that implements a box spread option strategy as an alternative to margin loans and securities‑based lines of credit.

The firm’s investment process is driven by proprietary software and automated monitoring: clients and third‑party advisers can select box sizes and expirations through the platform, exit or re-create positions, and receive ongoing performance reporting and margin‑monitoring information. SyntheticFi also recommends and implements custom hedging strategies using exchange‑traded S&P 500 index options and FLEX options (puts, calls, collars) to manage margin‑call risk and may trade options on a discretionary basis.

Distinctive features include the firm’s explicit use of option derivatives (including FLEX options) within client accounts and its methodology for calculating assets under management for fee purposes as the absolute value of a box spread’s value‑at‑expiration. The firm operates with a relatively small advisory team while managing substantial regulatory AUM, provides sub‑advisory arrangements with other advisers, and discloses promoter/referral arrangements and technology‑related risks associated with its algorithmic platform.
