About Us

Simms Capital Management, Inc. is an investment management firm offering Global, International and Domestic growth equity portfolios. SCM is independently owned by active employees (four principals represent 100% of the firm’s ownership). Initially founded as a global investment manager in 1984, the firm later expanded to include international and domestic large cap growth strategies.

The firm manages accounts for both institutions and high net worth clients. Headquartered in Stamford, CT, there are eight employees dedicated to investment management, trading, marketing and client services of the firm’s equity strategies. SCM has a strong client base with a diversified group of institutional clients consisting of corporate plans, public pension plans, foundations, endowments, and Taft-Hartley accounts. The firm is incorporated and is a registered investment advisor.

We believe the long-term success of SCM is a direct result of our disciplined investment philosophy. Each strategy managed by Simms Capital is built using a stringent selection process that enables us to identify securities with the greatest potential for sustained high growth and anticipated returns. By adhering to this well-reasoned, three-step process, we are better able to create portfolios of the highest quality and consistency.

Corporate Philosophy

Simms Capital Management, Inc. seeks high quality growth stocks with sustainable earnings growth. Our process is designed to invest in companies with relatively high returns on equity and high earnings growth rates, not companies or industries that have predominantly cyclical characteristics. SCM only invests in companies with expected positive earnings. SCM does not deviate from its investment philosophy by adhering to a clearly defined buy and sell discipline.

Competitive Advantage

With a wealth of experience and a process developed over twenty years, Simms Capital has been able to produce excess returns over the long-term through globally diversified investments in a myriad of market cycles.

Our global proprietary stock selection process has been utilized for the past twenty years. Our investment management team has been working together for the past fourteen years with over 90 years of experience between them. Our global outlook has proved to be invaluable since most companies, regardless of where they are headquartered, generate revenues throughout the world. Our global outlook gives us greater insight than managers who impose a regional outlook to their selection process. Over the last twenty years, SCM’s model has been tested and enhanced to reflect the most appropriate quantitative screens for identifying companies that fit our growth criteria and strategy. By applying a bottom-up stock selection process, companies are first identified by quantitative measures and fundamentals, without regard to global borders and currencies.

SCM’s trading capabilities include sophisticated systems and technology. Our systems enable SCM to trade electronically and allow us to trade local shares in local currencies.

Our clients have direct access to all of our staff including the portfolio managers making the investment decisions. Clients are encouraged to utilize our resources in their investment committee meetings and board meetings. We make continuous efforts to enhance our client management systems to best meet the reporting needs of our clients.
