About
The Simpson Firm provides fee-only investment advisory and financial planning services to small and mid-size groups and individual clients, including investment selection, retirement planning, and periodic portfolio monitoring. Its 2018 ADV filing reports no discretionary assets under management at that time.
The firm tailors strategies to client risk tolerance and objectives, allows client-imposed investment restrictions, and coordinates with other professionals as requested. It relies primarily on third‑party research (for example, Morningstar, Value Line, S&P) and favors long‑term strategies supplemented by selective short‑term trading, hedging with options, and, when appropriate, short sales.
What is distinctive relative to many peer investment managers is the availability of an hourly engagement option and an explicit policy that hourly clients receive one‑time advice without ongoing monitoring or implementation responsibility. The firm’s small size and initial‑filing status, along with its willingness to advise on structured products, warrants and other less‑common instruments, further differentiate its service mix from larger institutional managers.

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
