Portfolio Protection Services
Don’t have time to watch the market every day?
Don’t worry! SmartStops is here to help.
The SmartStops
Portfolio Protection Service enables investors to easily create a portfolio of stocks
and ETFs and have those positions analyzed and monitored through out the market
day for signs of elevated risk.
The three primary components to the service are portfolio monitoring, risk alerting
and decision tools.
Portfolio Monitoring
Risk does not remain constant through time. Be more aware of the state of your
risk exposure.
The SmartStops Portfolio Monitoring service analyzes each of your positions daily
to determine its current risk state and optimized stop loss and reentry price triggers.
Throughout the market day, your positions are monitored and alerts are sent if the
price falls and triggers a risk alert or rises and triggers a reentry alert.
Updated risk states and price triggers are published at the end of each market day
and emailed to you in your end of day portfolio report.
Stay on top of your risk exposure and make timely decisions to better manage risk with SmartStops.

Risk Alerts
Throughout each market day, SmartStops monitors the positions in your SmartStops
portfolio. If the price of any of your positions fall and trigger its SmartStop,
or rises and triggers its SmartReentry, an email alert is sent notifying you of
the event.
Risk alerts enable timely action. Most days you may not have to be watching your
portfolio, but if you receive a risk alert on one of your equities, today is the
day to look at that one.
