Every sleeve. Every lot. Every morning.

Fractive Labs builds open-architecture rebalancing and tax-transition software for TAMPs, managed account platforms, and wealth management firms that run many strategies inside a single client account. Sophisticated underneath, simple to use.

One account, five sleeves, rebalanced to target

Total drift 9.0%

Before
Now

Built for two kinds of firms

The core rebalancer

RIAs that want to rebalance better

Every sleeve in a UMA handled its own way, cash and tax budgets that actually hold, and a plain-language reason behind every trade. Straightforward to adopt, without rebuilding your operation.

The full console

Aggregators, TAMPs, and enterprises

Everything in the core, plus role-based home pages, bulk onboarding and portfolio migrations, firm-wide model dispersion, staged transitions at scale, and daily reconciliation across custodian feeds.

The account, the way the engine sees it

One household's UMA: every sleeve, how it's handled, where it sits against target, and what needs a decision.

Product screen of a mixed-sleeve UMA: totals at the custodian and held away, a now-versus-target bar for six sleeves, and a table showing how each sleeve is handled and whether it is inside its band

Six sleeves, five ways of handling themOptimized, rules-based, rep as PM, held-away, and discrete cash, each labeled.
Now against target, in one barThe same before-and-after view runs through the whole product.
Held-away counted, never tradedIt shapes the allocation without ever entering the custodian's numbers.

Every sleeve on its own terms

A unified managed account holds very different kinds of money. Each sleeve type gets its own discrete handling, coordinated within one account.

Direct indexOptimized

Optimized against its benchmark at the tax-lot level, with tracking error and harvesting managed together.

Manager modelsRules-based

Each manager's model is followed as delivered, with firm and account constraints applied on top.

TransitionOptimized to a path

Optimized toward the target portfolio, moving legacy holdings over time rather than all at once.

Rep as PMAdvisor-directed

Advisor-directed, with its own guardrails, approvals, and firm-level oversight.

Fixed incomeIts own rules

Handled by its own rules for maturities, cash flows, and reinvestment rather than simple percentage drift.

CashDiscrete cash

A discrete cash sleeve, separate from any manager's cash, for reserves, withdrawals, and fees, so cash needs are funded from the right places.

Held-away assetsCounted, not traded

Counted in the household allocation and tax picture, so the managed sleeves account for them, without trading them.

Tax budget overlayAccount-wide

One tax budget sits across the whole account, so every sleeve's trades draw against the same limit the advisor sets.

Model dispersion, measured at the sleeve

When one model runs across thousands of accounts, each account's sleeve should earn close to what the model earns. Fractive compares every sleeve's actual return with its model's return, so you can see which accounts have strayed, by how much, and why: cash, client restrictions, tax decisions, or trade timing.

AI that proposes. Rules that decide.

AI does the reading, watching, and explaining. A deterministic rules engine makes every trade decision, so results are repeatable and every trade traces back to the rule that produced it.

AIProposes

Finds opportunities, flags bad data, drafts explanations.

Rules engineDecides

Applies each sleeve's rules and the tax budget. Same inputs, same trades.

OutputTrade file

From onboarding to the morning queue

Staged transitions

Legacy portfolios, moved inside a tax budget

Selling everything on day one realizes the whole gain. Fractive builds a staged path instead, and every legacy holding gets a plan and a disposition window.

  • Each tax year held to its own budget
  • Change the budget and the path redraws
  • A proposal stays a draft until someone approves it
Transition proposal screen: tax budget for the year, legacy share remaining after each stage, and net realized gains against each year’s budget

Product screen. Simulated data.

Trade proposals

Every trade explains itself

Each proposed trade says why this security, what else was considered and why it cost more, and which rules it was checked against.

  • Do-not-sell lists and lowest-cost lots
  • Short-term gains avoided where possible
  • Always inside the tax budget
Trade proposal screen: cash moves by sleeve, and a proposed sale expanded to show why it was chosen, the lots sold, and the rules checked

Product screen. Simulated data.

Reconciliation

The custodian wins, and the screen says so

Every account is compared with the custodian each morning. Breaks are sorted by type, with what each one blocks and how it gets fixed.

  • Fixed by posting the missing event, never by editing a holding
  • A sale that never reached the custodian is blocked on day two
  • Normal trading stops until the break is cleared
Reconciliation screen: accounts compared and matched, open breaks, the rule that the custodian wins, and breaks by type with their effect and fix

Product screen. Simulated data.

A home page that's already done the work

Each role starts the day on what needs a decision: drift, blocked accounts, and harvest opportunities, explained in plain English.

Bulk onboarding

New accounts mapped to a best-fit model and placed on a single- or multi-stage path set by your own tax thresholds.

Portfolio migrations

Move a book from one model to another, with overlap, tax cost, and the transition path visible before anything trades.

Tax-aware harvesting, measured honestly

Harvest within the rules, then see the benefit as estimated, scenario, or unknown. Never guessed as zero.

Built differently

Open architecture

Works with the custodians, model providers, and order management systems firms already use, rather than replacing them.

Simple by design

Clear screens, sensible defaults, and settings that read like the investment policy behind them. Built for operations teams and advisors, not only quants.

Lean by design

A modern architecture without the cost structure of legacy platforms, and economics that reflect it. Easy to start with, and it grows with you.
