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.

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.

Find your advisor

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
