Stringer Asset Management

Stringer Asset Management

Gary Stringer, a veteran of the Memphis investment scene who previously led the asset management arm at Morgan Keegan, launched Stringer Asset Management in 2012. The firm operates from a single office in Memphis, Tennessee, delivering asset allocation models, manager selection, and portfolio construction services to financial advisors, high-net-worth individuals, and pooled investment vehicles. It positions itself as a fiduciary, not a broker, structuring client accounts under an advisory model rather than a commission-based one. The firm runs a multi-asset strategy spanning equities, fixed income, and liquid alternatives. It does not disclose individual portfolio company holdings, and known allocations are channeled through third-party fund vehicles rather than direct deals. Its model portfolios blend active and passive exposures; the firm has authored commentary favoring tactical tilts around core strategic allocations, particularly in fixed-income duration and equity factor exposure. Geographic focus is US-centric, with limited evidence of direct international or emerging-market mandates beyond what is embedded in the underlying funds it selects. Stringer's headcount and total assets remain unpublished. The firm has not announced fund closes, spin-out vehicles, or philanthropic structures. Its website and regulatory filings describe a classic registered investment advisory practice — no family office shadow, no institutional separate accounts of named scale. This opacity is consistent with an RIA serving a regional client base rather than aggregating chunky institutional mandates. Structurally, the firm's differentiator is its independence. It is not a roll-up, not a bank-trust department remnant, and not a platform aggregator. The absence of a parent balance sheet means portfolio decisions are unconstrained by proprietary product shelves — a feature the firm emphasizes in its public commentary on fiduciary alignment.
