Overview

Smith Group Asset Management, LLC is an SEC-registered LLC (registered in 2021) that advises both individuals/families and institutional clients on a fee basis tied to assets under management. Its advisory scope includes discretionary portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, investment companies and pooled vehicles, and institutional clients; the firm also lists pension consulting among its services. The adviser is not described as an active ESG investor and is not identified as a multi-state adviser. Organizationally it operates under a domestic entity/individual ownership structure and undertakes broker‑dealer and sponsor/GP roles across pooled vehicles and derivatives activities (CPO/CTA, futures commission merchant, registered security‑based swap dealer). Smith Group positions itself as an equity‑centric manager that also runs pooled investment vehicles and serves as a capital organizer or sponsor in certain strategies. Fee income is primarily percentage‑of‑AUM based, and the firm reports activity consistent with both separate account management and pooled fund oversight.
