Simplify Asset Management Portfolio holdings
Simplify Asset Management runs ETFs that use options and other derivatives, bringing strategies once limited to hedge funds and institutions to more investors. Paul Kim, its chief executive, and David Berns, its chief investment officer, founded the firm, which has provided investment advisory services since August 2020. Its methods include shifting asset allocation as markets change, managing risk with options, and computer-driven models. Beyond its ETFs, it also offers separate accounts for institutional investors, added in 2024, and model portfolios for other investment advisers.
