About

The Simmons Partnership, Inc. advises individuals, trusts, foundations, retirement plans and corporate clients, providing personalized financial planning, investment management and retirement-plan consulting. The firm offers either ongoing portfolio management (discretionary or non‑discretionary) or standalone financial plans and may provide participant education and implementation referrals for plan sponsors.

TSP builds individualized asset allocations from client interviews and financial data, using primarily fundamental research and occasional technical analysis to select a mix of mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities, bonds and, when appropriate, options, REITs or MLPs. Accounts are reviewed at least annually, custody is typically maintained at Schwab Advisor Services, and the firm may engage or monitor third‑party managers for specific strategies while preferring lower‑cost mutual fund share classes for clients.

Noteworthy aspects compared with peers include a high account load per adviser (869 accounts and roughly $216 million in AUM across two advisers), sponsorship of a wrap‑fee program where TSP serves as the sole portfolio manager, and the fact that some firm professionals are separately licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions on insurance transactions; the brochure discloses these potential conflicts and describes mitigation measures. The firm also reports a material amount of assets under advisement and retains discretion to waive account requirements in certain circumstances.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
