Maintain direct beneficial ownership of your assets
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 the Abra SMA structure, custody is maintained through the applicable custody arrangement and assets are directly titled in your name (or trust/firm) in an off-balance-sheet, segregated account.
Understand the Risk
Custody is maintained through the applicable custody arrangement in the client's separately managed account (SMA). Abra Capital Management, LP (“ACM”) facilitates the custody solution and provides investment-management services with respect to assets in the account.
Custody provided by the applicable custodian. Investment-management services provided by ACM. The Vault is not a self-directed arrangement. Depending on the applicable strategy, ACM advises on and allocates client assets among applicable strategies and may direct transactions necessary to implement those allocations pursuant to the client's investment management agreement. Transfers off the platform are processed through the custodian's controls. A client may withdraw assets to an external wallet the client controls, at which point those assets leave custody with the applicable custodian 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.
Questions, answered.
ACM charges an advisory fee of 0.20% on assets under management in the Vault. Any custody fee or other third-party cost, if applicable, is disclosed separately.
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. In an Abra SMA, custody is maintained through the applicable custody arrangement, assets are titled to you or your business, and recovery support is available 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, ACM can help coordinate recovery with the custodian. To keep your assets secure, recovery requires a brief institutional identity verification. You'll simply work with ACM and the applicable custodian 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.
Vault assets are held with Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC using Fireblocks Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets. MPC distributes private key material across multiple independent parties, so no single party, including ACM, 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.
