About

Parsons Capital Management provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, qualified retirement plans, charitable institutions, endowments, trusts, estates and corporations. The firm oversees roughly $2.38 billion in client assets across nearly 1,942 accounts and offers related services such as coordination of outside assets and occasional expert-witness consulting.

The firm takes a consultative, research-driven approach, building individualized portfolios through strategic asset allocation among cash equivalents, fixed income, equities and, where appropriate, alternative investments. Portfolio construction emphasizes a mix of fundamental, quantitative and technical research, with equity selection blending earnings-driven growth forecasts and quantitative value screens and fixed-income strategies that may be either active or passive.

Parsons reports several operational practices that distinguish it from many peers: it engages a third‑party (Chicago Clearing Corporation) to monitor and file securities class‑action claims on clients’ behalf (the vendor retains a flat 15% of collected claims and clients may opt out), and it may act as trustee for client trusts and performs certain custody-related services subject to an annual surprise CPA examination. The firm also discloses that it does not vote client proxies and instead recommends clients exercise voting rights directly, which is a notable governance choice relative to many advisory firms.
