How it works

One platform.
Every LP.
Every transaction.

HMG builds the institutional treasury layer mid-market sponsors don't have. Charles Schwab as custodian. SEC-registered RIA partner under fiduciary standard. Capital moves on rails.


Charles Schwab Institutional custody · SEC-registered RIA partner · FDIC-insured deposit programs · Same-day liquidity

The architecture

Three roles. Cleanly separated.

GP

You

  • Originate & underwrite
  • Manage the asset
  • Decide when capital moves
Custody

Charles Schwab Institutional

  • Per-LP titled accounts
  • SIPC + FDIC-insured tiers
  • Capital never touches HMG

Capital is custodied at Charles Schwab Institutional in your LPs' own names. HMG operates the platform. The RIA partner holds advisory authority. We never take possession of the capital.

Onboarding

Live LP accounts inside four weeks.

  1. Week 1

    Engagement signed

    Partnership agreement countersigned. LP onboarding kit ships to GP and to each LP. RIA partner runs KYC/AML on the fund vehicle.

  2. Week 4

    Platform live

    All LP accounts opened at Charles Schwab Institutional in their own names. Branded GP portal active. First yield posting visible to LPs.

  3. Week 12

    First distribution

    Quarterly distribution flows through the platform. Reconciliation is automatic. The GP's ops time on this work drops to under one hour per month.

Short-term positioning 7–90 days 4.55% Treasury bills · CDs
Extended duration 90+ days 4.70% Laddered T-notes · short-duration fixed income

Yields shown are annualized, indicative ranges as of Q2 2026. They move with prevailing rates and the appropriate tier for any sponsor depends on liquidity needs and risk tolerance. See sources & disclosures.
