Each client's allocation is held within a Separately Managed Account (SMA). This structure means assets are managed on behalf of the client and are not pooled into a fund vehicle², which preserves direct ownership and clear legal title throughout the investment lifecycle.

*Under exchange custody, assets are commingled in exchange omnibus wallets. You hold an unsecured claim (an IOU) against the exchange's balance sheet. In a fiduciary delegated custody, assets are directly titled in your name (or trust/firm) and held in an off-balance-sheet, segregated account.
Assets held in the Vault are held in custody by Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC. The Vault is not a self-directed arrangement, and clients do not independently control the means of moving the assets and cannot transfer them off the platform without ACM. A client may withdraw assets to an external wallet the client controls, at which point those assets leave ACM's custody and the associated risks become the client's responsibility. The Vault is not a bank account or deposit and is not FDIC-insured, bank-guaranteed, or government-insured. No assurances are given that any control or operational measure will prevent loss. Custody of digital assets is not risk-free, involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of loss, and depends in part on infrastructure operated by third parties; operational measures may reduce but do not eliminate these risks.
Abra charges an advisory fee of 0.20% for assets under management in the Vault.
With self custody, you manage the security of your keys and infrastructure. If you lose your keys there is no recovery path for your assets. Abra SMAs are offer the benefit of titling the assets to you or your business while also offering the support to recover your keys if you lose access. If you ever lose access to your Abra SMA portal, whether that’s your login details, 2FA device, or admin access, we can help with recovery. To keep your assets secure, recovery requires a brief institutional identity verification. You'll simply work with Abra and our qualified custodians to confirm your identity and corporate documentation.
Yes. You can login to your Abra account at anytime and move assets to and from your Vault at your discretion 24/7. Moving digital assets into and out of your Vault do not require operational support as long as the assets are not deployed into Yield strategies or as loan collateral. If there are assets deployed into Yield or Loan products, these assets may require operational support to make funds available during the normal 5-day business week.
Abra secures client assets using Fireblocks Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets. MPC distributes private key material across multiple independent parties, so no single party, including Abra can unilaterally access or move assets. Even if someone gets access to an administrative login or key share, MPC alone isn't enough, it must be bound by Policy Engine rules. Fireblocks pairs MPC key shares with a strict hardware-enforced Policy Engine. This prevents unauthorized transfers through several layers. Transactions can only be broadcast on-chain if they pass pre-defined, immutable parameters programmed into the vault governance engine.
