The Fractional Framework
The financial industry tends to present trading support as a binary choice:
Option 1: Hire a full-time trader.
Option 2: Outsource to a TAMP.
Both can be great solutions. Both can also be expensive.
What if you only need 5–8 hours of trading per week? That’s where the third option comes in; the fractional framework.
Hi, I’m Laura Nowinski—trader, former financial advisor, and founder of Sage Trading Collective. I hold my FINRA Series 65 license and am an Accredited Investment Fiduciary®. I have a strong background in trading and investment management including a certificate in ESG investing from the CFA Institute and have experience with multiple trading platforms including Eclipse, iRebal, Wealthscape, Tamarac, Black Diamond and Folio.
I am a passionate advocate for women’s empowerment and the founder of The Selene Center, a nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic violence. Giving back has always been part of who I am—whether through volunteering or creating space for others to thrive.I live in Sylvania, Ohio with my husband John, son Tanner, and our very spoiled dog, Polo.
Through Sage, my mission is simple: to help advisors grow confidently by taking trading and investment management off their plate—so they can focus on building their business and deepening client relationships.
