Hal's leadership expertise

Great for clients, good for business

Our business model is client-centric. Most investment advisor’s business models are built around scale. Growing assets under management is typically the primary objective of advisory firms. Mission Hill is not bound by the need to scale. Of course we want to grow our business, but rather than dumb down the investment process so we can focus on business development, our priorities are your priorities, whatever those may be. At Mission Hill, client solutions are the central focus of the firm.
