At Hill Investment Group, we believe markets work, evidence beats opinion, and taking the long view is the smartest path to long-term success. But none of that matters without the right people. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest team member, Ryan Clinton, who joins us as Portfolio Manager for both Hill Investment Group and Longview Research Partners.

Ryan joins us from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), where he spent nearly six years in a variety of investment and portfolio management roles. His work focused on portfolio implementation, trading strategy, and client communications, and included direct experience managing several of Dimensional’s core ETFs. This background aligns closely with our evidence-based investment philosophy and supports the continued evolution of The Longview Advantage ETF (Ticker: EBI). [Read the complete press release here.]

Just as there are multiple dimensions to how we invest, there are many dimensions to our team. Please enjoy getting to know Ryan a bit more, in his own words.

Hill Investment Group, Longview Research Partners, and our CIO Matt Zenz were recently featured in a Citywire story exploring how top RIA gatekeepers evaluate which investment strategies earn their attention.

In our industry, gatekeepers are professionals who screen and vet investment strategies, deciding which ones deserve attention. The article highlights the kind of thoughtful, research-driven work we aim to deliver across Hill, Longview, and The Longview Advantage ETF.

We’re honored to be mentioned alongside firms like Dimensional Fund Advisors and Avantis Investors—leaders in the evidence-based space.

If you’re curious about how gatekeepers think (and what gets their attention), this is a worthwhile read.

Turbulent markets are a great reminder to practice one of our key tenets: focus on what you can control. 

I was reminded of this when we had a recent dinner with family visiting from out of town.  We had just shared a great meal from our favorite Chinese restaurant, and everyone opened their fortune cookie. 

My wife opened hers to reveal a timely statement:

“Don’t worry about the stock market. Invest in family.”

Outstanding advice!

No. Hill hasn’t left data and evidence behind to encourage reliance on fortune cookie advice or predictions to invest your money! However, it just may provide a common-sense reminder. In this case, when the world may be spinning a bit fast, embrace your family even more. And take the long view.
