About

Thomas Smith and Associates, Inc. provides discretionary investment advisory services to high‑net‑worth individuals and trusts, managing fully diversified portfolios primarily made up of individual equities, exchange‑traded funds, and cash. The firm reports approximately $11.5 million in assets under management across five client accounts and is staffed by two investment professionals.

Portfolios are constructed using strategic and tactical asset allocation with an emphasis on tax and cost efficiency, and client objectives and any imposed investment restrictions are used to tailor portfolios. The firm states it continuously monitors capital market conditions and client circumstances and performs internal account reviews on a weekly basis to implement portfolio adjustments.

Notably, the firm does not serve non‑high‑net‑worth individual clients, a client mix that is uncommon among supported firms and reflects a concentration on larger, longer‑term accounts. Other operational practices that distinguish the firm include a required relationship with a recommended broker‑dealer (Charles Schwab), trades placed separately in individual client accounts rather than aggregated, proxy voting left to clients, and the provision of annual performance and holdings reports for the year‑end period.

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.
