Our clients know that one of our goals is to make the experience with our firm special. With that in mind, we are making significant improvements in 2016!

In January, our clients will see a brand new reporting platform with the latest technology. We are excited to provide convenient online quarterly reporting and interactive account snapshots in a format that saves paper and is more secure than your mailbox.

IS THERE ANYTHING TO DO NOW?

The Hill Investment Group App is ready for our clients to download on smart phones or tablets (available for both iOS and Android devices). Just click these links or search “Hill Investment Group” in the app store on your mobile devices. We’ll be in touch with clients in the next few weeks to get you logged in for the first time.

Have you ever asked us, “How long is the long view?” If so, this might be for you. After we build you a low-cost, evidence-based investment portfolio, what should you do next? For the most part, pretend like it doesn’t exist. In this example (which only looks at the S&P 500), you’d see a negative result nearly half of the time if you checked your returns on a daily basis. At the other extreme, if you only reviewed results for 20-year time periods, you would have seen positive performance every time.

We got the data from Ben Carlson’s blog (click here) and posted it on the chalkboard in our office as a regular reminder to continue taking the long view.

The slide of the month is a reminder that patient investing provides the ultimate payoff. Though our daily lives require near-term focus, successful investing demands a completely different vantage point. Click here for the full detail behind the image.
