Ryan Clinton brings Next-Level Portfolio Management
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.
