Many of you know Nell as one of our team’s rockstars—dedicated to your financial life with a unique mix of skill, insight, and care. You may not know that she’s also been preparing for an exciting new chapter behind the scenes…

Nell and her husband welcomed their first child on April 27th!

We’re thrilled to share that baby girl, Merrill Cameron Schiffer, arrived happy and healthy, weighing 8 pounds, 11 ounces.

As expected, Nell approached this milestone with the same thoughtfulness she brings to our daily work. She’ll be stepping away for maternity leave and plans to return in the second half of July.

We’re so happy for Nell and Walter, and grateful to be a firm that celebrates and supports life’s biggest moments.

At Hill Investment Group, we go where the talent is—and where you are. Our team spans three physical offices in St. Louis, Nashville, and Houston, with additional team members in Boston, New York, Austin, and San Diego. More importantly, our clients are in 30+ states across the country.

What does this mean for you? No matter where life takes you, we’re ready to serve you with the same high level of care and expertise.

With Rick Hill officially retiring last year, we’re thrilled to continue celebrating his incredible legacy with the Rick Hill Award. As you may recall from a post Buddy shared in early 2024, we announced this special recognition at our 2023 holiday party to honor Rick’s values and actions, which have been at the heart of our firm’s success (and our friendship) since day one.

This annual award, paired with financial recognition, will be presented to the team member who best exemplifies living our firm’s values throughout the prior year. We’ve been paying close attention to those moments in 2024 when teammates have gone above and beyond, and we’re excited to share the winner with our team at our company celebration on February 8th. We’ll tell you about the winner our February email.

There’s still time to nominate someone you believe deserves this honor! If you’ve had a meaningful interaction with a team member that reflects Rick’s and our firm’s values, please email Matt Hall directly at matt@hillinvestmentgroup.com. The nomination window closes on January 31st, so don’t wait!

We value your insight and are grateful for your help in recognizing the teammates who make our firm extraordinary.
