The Ancorato Advantage

Do-It-Yourself Structured Notes Partnering with Ancorato
Due Diligence Advisor must vet each note, issuer, and structure manually. Often lacks historical breach data and probability analytics. Ancorato conducts deep due diligence, including backtesting, breach history analysis, issuer diversification, and note-level filtering.
Issuer Relationships Advisor may be limited to their custodian’s desk and rate sheets, often with weaker pricing power. Ancorato leverages institutional relationships and scale across issuers, accessing better pricing and broader inventory.
Time & Operational Burden Significant advisor time required to research, book, monitor, and manage each trade. Ancorato manages the entire lifecycle—from design to execution to maturity—including reporting, freeing advisor capacity.
Deployment Strategy Manual and ad hoc. Difficult to maintain proper diversification, laddering, or consistent allocation. SMA structure utilizes laddering, diversification, and consistent monthly deployment, built into every strategy.
Client Experience High-touch and manual. May require individual signatures or account actions per trade. Seamless onboarding through Strategy Link—no new account paperwork in most cases, trades sleeve into existing accounts.
Reporting Notes may be hard to track across custodians or inconsistent in portfolio software. Centralized reporting platform provides full sleeve transparency with terms, barrier, and performance data.
Risk Management Advisors may concentrate too much in a single note or issuer without realizing. Built-in guardrails: issuer caps, size limits per trade, and breach thresholds based on backtesting.
Access to Innovation Limited to what’s offered by custodial desks. May miss out on non-rate-sheet opportunities. Uniquely engineered custom structured notes to achieve specific objectives. Access to innovative institutional grade structured products.
Scalability Hard to replicate across many clients; customization creates friction. Highly scalable SMA platform that can handle mass allocations across households and entire books.

This table compares the differences of financial advisors managing structured notes on their own versus partnering with Ancorato to streamline the complexities of structured note investing.

Partnering With Ancorato

  • Are structured notes a part of your practice but scaling them across your book is a logistical nightmare?

  • Is your portfolio of structured notes diversified outside of just the broad-based indices?

    If not, it might be time to explore broader diversification strategies. Relying solely on indices like the S&P 500 or NASDAQ can expose you to market-wide risk, but incorporating notes tied to other asset classes, sectors, or regions can help manage that risk. 

    Our Ancorato SMAs are designed to provide objective-oriented investment solutions that help spread risk across different asset classes, allowing for more balanced exposure and potentially greater returns. Our Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) allows for greater diversification beyond traditional indices by incorporating structured notes tied to a variety of asset classes, sectors, and global markets without being overly reliant on indices like the S&P 500.

Strategy Link simplifies the process by eliminating the need for opening new accounts, making it easy to implement our objective-oriented SMA strategies without the administrative burden.

  • Are you tired of dealing with structured notes getting called?

    If you're tired of dealing with structured notes getting called, you're not alone. Calls can be frustrating when they trigger early, especially if you're expecting a longer-term investment. When structured notes are called, you may lose out on potential future gains, and then you have to reinvest the proceeds, often in a different market environment.
