About

FMSA is a privately owned registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, municipalities, and trusts, managing approximately $216 million for over 1,200 clients through a multi-advisor team. The firm provides comprehensive financial planning and discretionary portfolio management across a wide set of investments, including equities, fixed income, mutual funds, annuities, and real estate, and also offers standalone financial planning and account review services.

The firm follows a fundamental, research-driven investment approach that emphasizes company financials and intrinsic value rather than market timing, and it typically implements strategies on a discretionary basis consistent with each client’s stated objectives. Advisors review client accounts daily and generally carry a book of roughly 100 households, with transaction reporting provided monthly and more detailed performance reviews available on request.

A noteworthy operational feature is that several supervised persons at the firm hold fixed insurance licenses to sell life insurance, long-term care, and annuity products, which the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest when moving funds between investment accounts and insurance products. The firm also works with external referral sources (such as CPAs and insurance agents) and discloses that it compensates those referrers, while maintaining a Code of Ethics and formal trading and monitoring procedures to manage conflicts.
