We propose an assembly model for the SMBHs that end up in rare massive ∼1012 M⊙ host halos at z∼6−7, applying a kinetic feedback prescription for BHs accreting above the Eddington rate, provided by radiation hydrodynamic simulations for the long-term evolution of the accretion-flow structure. The large inflow rates into these halos during their assembly enable the formation of >109 M⊙ SMBHs by z∼6, even starting from stellar-mass seeds at z∼30, and even in the presence of outflows that reduce the BH feeding rate, especially at early times. This mechanism also naturally yields a high BH-to-galaxy mass ratio of >0.01 before the SMBH mass reaches MBH>109 M⊙ by z∼6. These fast-growing SMBH progenitors are bright enough to be detected by upcoming observations with the James Webb Space Telescope over a wide range of redshift (7The Astrophysical Journal, vol. 935, no. 2.
