SPECIAL HILL EVENT: An Evening with Author Carl Richards

We’re delighted to share that Hill Investment Group will host a very special evening with Carl Richards—internationally recognized author, speaker, and podcaster—on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at The Racquet Club in St. Louis, which will be one of Carl’s first stops on his national book launch tour for the release of his latest work Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches.
Many of you know Carl through his Behavior Gap sketches and writing. His simple drawings and powerful insights remind us that clarity often comes from seeing complex ideas made beautifully simple.
This gathering will include cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a lively conversation with Carl about his newest work and what it means to “take the long view” in both money and life.

20 Years of Taking the Long View

This month marks 20 years since we opened Hill Investment Group on June 6, 2005. What began as a bold idea between two friends has grown into a boutique firm serving clients in 34 states, with over $1 billion in assets under management (as of June 2025), and a talented team that now stretches from San Diego to Brooklyn.
It’s a milestone we’re proud of, and yet, we feel like we’re just hitting our stride. Our ambition today remains the same as it was at the outset: to become the leading boutique evidence-based firm in the country. That means earning your trust every day, guiding you through market swings, and standing with you through the milestones that matter most.
We’ll be celebrating this anniversary throughout the year, with reflections, lessons learned, and maybe even a few fun (non-investment!) predictions about what’s to come. If you’d like to hear how it all started, listen to this 2019 podcast episode where Rick Hill and I revisit our early days.
And here’s a favorite image from our recent team and family gathering—a reminder that what we’re building isn’t just a firm, but a community grounded in shared values and complementary skills.
Thank you for the continued trust you place in us. It’s a responsibility we’re honored to uphold.
Coming Soon: The Longview Advantage ETF
If we see a better way to do things, and no one else has offered it yet, we’re determined to create it ourselves. Thus, we’re excited to share some groundbreaking news. In early 2025, we’ll launch the Longview Advantage ETF—a unique, US total market investment solution designed to give you even more value from your portfolio. The ETF will provide more efficient access to the US stock market compared to your already excellent current portfolio and save our clients ≈$500,000 in fees annually*.
What are the benefits for you?
- Lower costs
- Greater tax efficiency
- More efficient exposure to Evidence-Based Investment Principles
- The opportunity to invest in this solution with no tax impact to transition*.
Our Chief Investment Officer, Matt Zenz, has recorded a 3-minute video introducing the ETF and highlighting some key benefits. We also invite you to attend a webinar we are hosting on Wednesday, December 4th, from Noon-1pm CT where you’ll have the opportunity to learn more and ask questions live. For your privacy and security, only Hill Investment Group team members will know the identity of those attending, and there will be no video of any attendees.
We’re thrilled to offer this opportunity to you and hope you’ll be as excited as we are. If you have any questions or want to learn more, contact us here.
