About
Prentiss Smith & Company provides discretionary investment management primarily for individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and endowment funds, with a stated account minimum of $250,000; as of 12/31/2025 the brochure reports $447.13 million managed on a discretionary basis and $5.91 million on a non‑discretionary basis. The firm’s brochure describes ongoing account reporting to clients, including monthly custodian position and transaction reports and quarterly portfolio evaluation reports prepared by the firm.
The firm describes a long‑term GARP (growth at a reasonable price) investment style that is often contrarian, beginning with quantitative screens followed by fundamental analysis of balance sheets, free cash flow and management, and extending to fixed‑income strategies that emphasize after‑tax, inflation‑adjusted returns. Prentiss Smith & Company offers both a total‑return approach with broad discretionary asset allocation and a relative‑return approach that adheres to client‑specified asset allocations, and states it considers societal effects of companies without making social attributes the sole investment criterion.
Notable features in the brochure include the firm’s long history (founded in 1982) and concentrated ownership (98% owned by the founder and his immediate family), its practice of issuing regular written client reports, and operational policies such as reconciling custodian statements monthly and applying a prorated fee adjustment when quarter‑to‑quarter capital flows exceed 15% of an account’s value. The brochure does not describe standalone financial planning services, indicating the firm’s primary focus is investment management rather than comprehensive planning.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
