About

Sheets Smith Wealth Management serves individuals and families—including senior corporate executives and heirs—along with trusts, foundations, endowments, and retirement plans. The firm provides investment management, financial planning, wealth-preservation strategies, and advisory services for small company 401(k) plans, coordinating with clients’ accountants and estate planning attorneys when needed.

The firm customizes asset allocation and investment strategies to each client’s risk tolerance and time horizon, typically combining equities, fixed income, cash reserves and, where appropriate, alternatives such as REITs, private equity or commodities. Advisors generally take a long-term, buy-and-hold approach for equities to limit trading costs and tax consequences, while using ETFs and staggered fixed‑income maturities to implement tactical adjustments and asset-allocation objectives.

Sheets Smith is notable among peers for acting as a sub‑advisor to other investment advisers—explicitly working with a state-registered adviser—and for maintaining an affiliated, operationally independent SEC-registered investment adviser. The firm operates on a fee‑only basis, requires discretionary authority for client accounts, and reports that all advisors hold professional credentials (CFA, CFP, or the required investment adviser exam).
