Streamline Your SMA Proposal Process with Paperform

A Separately Managed Account (SMA) offers high-net-worth investors and institutions the unique benefits of direct security ownership, customized portfolio construction, and enhanced tax efficiency. However, gathering the detailed client information needed to craft a compelling SMA proposal can be time-consuming and prone to errors when handled through email chains or paper forms.

This SMA Proposal Request Form template is designed specifically for wealth managers, registered investment advisors (RIAs), financial planners, and asset management firms who want to professionalize their client intake process while capturing the granular details that make for truly personalized investment strategies.

Why Paperform for Investment Proposals?

Built for SMBs in financial services, Paperform lets you create on-brand forms that feel professional and trustworthy—essential when clients are sharing sensitive financial information. The doc-style editor means you can mix explanatory text, compliance disclosures, and form fields in a natural flow that educates while it collects data.

Conditional logic ensures clients only see questions relevant to their situation—if they indicate tax-loss harvesting is a priority, follow-up questions about existing positions and cost basis appear automatically. Calculation fields can provide instant estimates or help clients visualize portfolio allocations before they even submit.

Automate Follow-Up with Stepper

Once a proposal request is submitted, Stepper can orchestrate your entire advisory workflow: route high-value prospects to senior advisors, create tasks in your CRM, generate preliminary portfolio models, schedule discovery calls, and send personalized follow-up sequences—all without manual handoffs. This means faster response times and a more polished client experience from first contact through proposal delivery.

For firms managing multiple advisors or client segments, Paperform's roles and permissions keep data secure while Agency+ features let you clone and customize forms across teams. With SOC 2 Type II compliance and data residency controls, you can confidently collect sensitive financial information knowing your platform meets institutional standards.

Whether you're an independent RIA building your practice or a multi-advisor firm standardizing your proposal process, this template gives you a professional, conversion-optimized starting point that reflects the sophisticated service you provide.
