About
Smith Asset Management Co., LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and advisory consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and a range of institutional and non‑individual clients such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charities, corporations, and, as disclosed by the firm, state or municipal government clients. The firm reports managing roughly $280 million in client assets and serves several hundred client relationships, billing most portfolio management accounts on a percentage‑of‑assets basis.
The firm describes a tailored, continuously monitored investment process that includes asset allocation, rebalancing, and both long‑term and opportunistic short‑term trading where appropriate; its stated methods include Modern Portfolio Theory, technical, fundamental and cyclical analysis, and option writing. Smith Asset Management primarily recommends fixed‑income instruments such as preferred stocks and corporate bonds among other securities, and notes that tax efficiency is not a primary objective unless otherwise agreed.
Noteworthy distinctions in the firm’s disclosures include an affiliation with a law firm under common ownership, with the firm advising clients they may be referred to that affiliated legal practice and acknowledging the potential conflict of interest this creates. The ADV also discloses a past administrative proceeding (2012) that was resolved, and the firm’s public disclosures indicate it uses testimonials in its advertising and reports serving state or municipal government clients — features that are less common among similarly sized advisers.

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
