Simmons Asset Management, LLC

Simmons Asset Management, LLC provides discretionary investment supervisory services and individual portfolio management to a mix of individual and institutional clients, including pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporate accounts. The firm manages client portfolios through ongoing advice tailored to each client’s stated objectives and risk tolerance and oversees roughly $26 million in discretionary assets across a modest client base.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental security analysis, asset allocation, mutual fund and ETF selection, and a long‑term purchase orientation, with portfolios constructed and monitored to align with each client’s investment policy. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis, clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions, and the adviser generally requests that trades be placed through selected custodians (Charles Schwab, Altruist, or Pershing) while allowing clients to direct brokerage.

Notably, Simmons offers portfolio management for institutional clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans — a service provided by a relatively small share of independent advisers — in addition to serving individual investors. The firm also does not vote proxies on behalf of clients (clients retain voting responsibility), maintains no other financial industry affiliations, and requires custodial statements be used for fee debit verification rather than exercising custody itself.
