Institutional-Grade SMAs, Ready to Deploy


Bull Run Investment Management offers four proprietary equity strategies as Separately Managed Accounts on the Charles Schwab Managed Account Marketplace® — giving your clients direct stock ownership, real-time transparency, and institutional execution through one of the most trusted custodians in the industry.

Marketplace is Schwab’s open-architecture, dual-contract platform. Unlike bundled wrap programs, it gives you a direct relationship with BRIM as the money manager — with full fee transparency, negotiation flexibility, and independent account management. You keep the advisory relationship; we deliver the investment performance.

As a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser (CRD #306763), BRIM operates as a fiduciary on every account. No commissions, no revenue sharing — our interests are structurally aligned with yours and your clients’.

Available on Charles Schwab Marketplace
Direct Stock Ownership
Clients hold individual equities in their own Schwab account — not pooled fund shares. Full visibility into every position.
Dual-Contract Structure
Separate agreements between advisor-client and BRIM-client. Clean, institutional-grade documentation with full independence.
Transparent Fee Billing
Three separate line items on the client’s Schwab statement: your advisory fee, BRIM’s management fee, and Schwab’s custody fee. No bundled opacity.
Tax-Aware Execution
SMA structure enables tax-loss harvesting, gain deferral, and personalized lot selection unavailable in pooled vehicles.

Onboarding Walkthrough

How to Place a Client With BRIM


If you already custody at Schwab, adding a BRIM strategy takes minutes. Here’s exactly what it looks like inside Schwab Advisor Center.

Schwab Advisor Center — Account Management

Open a Managed Account

From the Account Management tab in Schwab Advisor Center, click Open and fund an account. Select your client (or add a new-to-Schwab client), then choose your Marketplace master account.

Under “Will you be assigning a money manager for separately managed accounts?” select Yes, from Managed Account Marketplace®.

You’ll need a Marketplace master account. If you already use Marketplace managers, you’re set. If not, a one-time setup with your Schwab relationship manager takes care of it.

Will you be assigning a money manager for separately managed accounts?
No
Yes, from Managed Account Marketplace®

Find Bull Run Investment Management

In the Firm name of money manager search field, start typing “Bull” — and Bull Run Investment Management, LLC appears in the dropdown.

Select it, and the account will link to BRIM’s master. The client’s account now sits under both your FA master and our money manager master — giving both parties access to do their respective jobs.

You retain full advisory access. BRIM receives discretionary trading authority only — we manage the investment portfolio, you manage the client.

Choose an Investment Strategy

After selecting BRIM, a dropdown appears with all four proprietary strategies. Pick the one that fits your client’s risk profile — or open separate accounts for multiple strategies.

Then choose the account type (Individual, Joint Tenant, IRA, Roth, Trust, etc.) and proceed through DocuSign or paper forms. Schwab handles custody, settlement, and reporting.

One strategy per account. For multi-strategy allocations, open separate accounts for each — same process, repeated for each strategy.

Fund the Account — We Handle the Rest

Once the account is funded, BRIM receives the allocation under our master account and begins investing immediately according to the selected strategy’s model portfolio.

From this point forward, the advisor doesn’t need to do anything on the investment side. BRIM handles all trading, rebalancing, and portfolio monitoring. You focus on the client relationship, financial planning, and advisory oversight.

The client’s account appears under both your FA master and BRIM’s money manager master — so both parties have visibility and access to perform their respective roles.

Fee Transparency

Three Separate Fees, Zero Hidden Costs


Marketplace’s dual-contract structure means every fee is unbundled and visible on the client’s Schwab statement. No wrap opacity, no embedded revenue sharing — just three clean line items.

Fee 1
Your Advisory Fee
Set by You
Your standard advisory fee for financial planning, relationship management, and oversight. You set the rate, you bill the client — this is entirely between you and your client.
Fee 2
BRIM Management Fee
Negotiated with BRIM
BRIM’s fee for active portfolio management, trading, and strategy execution. Negotiated directly between your firm and BRIM — not pre-set by Schwab. Deducted from the client’s account on the agreed schedule.
Fee 3
Schwab Custody Fee
Set by Schwab
Schwab’s brokerage and custody services fee. Your Schwab relationship manager helps you choose between transaction-based or asset-based pricing for the custody portion.
The bottom line: Each party charges and collects their own fee independently. All three appear as separate line items on the client’s Schwab statement — full transparency, no surprises. Both the advisor and BRIM disclose their respective fees in their Form ADV Part 2A.

The BRIM Advantage

Built for Advisor Workflows


We designed our platform around what advisors actually need: strong returns, clean infrastructure, and zero friction.

Proven Track Record
Our flagship Innovation SMA has delivered exceptional returns since inception, placing it in the top percentile versus thousands of non-leveraged equity products. All returns are auditable and updated daily.
Turnkey on Schwab
No outside custodial agreements or wire transfers. BRIM strategies live natively on Schwab Marketplace — search, select, fund, and go. Full integration with your existing workflow.
You Keep the Relationship
BRIM is the money manager — not the advisor of record. Your clients remain yours. We never contact, solicit, or advise your clients directly.
Real-Time Reporting
Every position, trade, gain, and allocation is visible in real-time through Schwab’s institutional dashboard. Pair with your own reporting overlay for a seamless client experience.
Flexible Risk Tiers
From defensive equity (Low Volatility) to high-conviction growth (Innovation), slot clients across the spectrum or blend strategies for custom risk profiles.
Advisor Resources
Fact sheets, strategy brochures, performance reports, and dedicated backtesting tools — everything you need to evaluate, present, and implement BRIM strategies with confidence.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All performance figures shown are gross of advisory fees unless the Net of Fees toggle is selected, in which case a 1.50% annual advisory fee is deducted daily. Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. BRIM is a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser (CRD #306763). The Managed Account Marketplace® platform is not a program sponsored by Schwab. Schwab does not evaluate or endorse money managers or strategies available on Marketplace.
