Breakthru Advisory Services

Breakthru operates as a platform RIA, offering regulatory hosting and outsourced compliance services to start-up fund managers. Under this model, client portfolio managers operate under Breakthru's SEC registration rather than establishing their own. Core services typically include chief compliance officer support, regulatory filing preparation, and operational due diligence assistance.

No. Breakthru functions as the regulatory entity for its hosted managers but does not exercise investment discretion over their portfolios. Each investment team operating on the platform retains full authority over its own investment decisions and strategy.

The firm typically earns revenue through retainer fees for compliance services and operational support. Depending on the firm's specific agreements, its compensation may also include a share of management fees or carried interest from the managers it hosts, a common structure for platform RIAs.

Emerging and first-time fund managers, as well as spin-out teams from larger asset managers, often use platform RIAs. These managers typically have assets too low to justify a full-time compliance department but face regulatory requirements complex enough to need professional, outsourced support.

Breakthru holds the SEC registration, while the investment managers it hosts are typically sub-advisors or operating under the platform's compliance umbrella. This separates regulatory liability and compliance infrastructure from the act of investment management, allowing each client to focus exclusively on portfolio management.
