At Hill Investment Group, we think long-term—whether we’re helping clients stay the course or cultivating the next generation of talent. One of the ways we live out that mindset is through our summer internship program, which continues to grow in depth and impact each year.

Every spring, we carefully select interns who reflect our values: curiosity, humility, hard work, and a hunger to learn. We look for students who aren’t just academically strong but also thoughtful communicators and team players; people we’d want to work alongside long after the summer ends.

We often share Odds On early in the process to give candidates insight into our philosophy, then host a series of team interviews to ensure mutual fit. We see the internship as a two-way opportunity: a meaningful growth experience for the intern and a chance for us to deepen our bench of future leaders. Once they join us, interns receive a fully immersive experience, learning from every department, working on real projects, and even participating in strategic conversations. And of course, we make time for fun.

Many of our intern alumni have gone on to successful careers in finance, consulting, and even full-time roles with Hill. Their contributions continue to shape who we are. We’re proud to carry that tradition forward this year with three exceptional individuals.

Michael Wanda – Principia College

Hi, my name is Michael Wanda, and I’m a rising senior at Principia College, majoring in Business and Economics. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya. Though I had been accepted to the top law school in the country, I followed a different calling—finance—thanks to the influence of my older brother.

When the pandemic changed everything, a chance connection through soccer helped me apply to Principia and begin a new path in the U.S. Earlier this year, I discovered Odds On and was fascinated by Matt and Rick’s journey to build Hill Investment Group. After finishing the book, I knew where I wanted to intern.

Since joining, I’ve had incredible experiences—including a memorable lunch with Matt at his usual lunch spot, Rearn Thai. The people here are kind, smart, and committed to something that feels bigger than just numbers. I’m grateful to be part of it.

Cameron Martin – University of Miami

Hello, my name is Cameron Martin. I grew up in University City, Missouri, where sports like football and wrestling taught me how to embrace adversity and push through challenges. That mindset has carried over to my academic life—I’m a Singer Scholar at the University of Miami, double majoring in Finance and Business Law.

What excites me about Hill is the mission to make the complex simple for the sake of helping others. To me, a smart person doesn’t complicate things—they clarify them. That’s what I want to do in my career, and it’s why this internship is such a great fit.

So far, the people here have been incredibly generous with their time and insight, especially Jonesy and Jack. I’m looking forward to learning more and contributing wherever I can this summer.

Sofia Perez – Washington University in St. Louis

Hi, my name is Sofia Perez. Though I was born in St. Louis, I lived in Mexico for 10 years before returning for college. I’m a rising junior at Washington University in St. Louis, double majoring in Finance and Marketing with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction.

Helping my parents run their small businesses taught me how much heart and effort go into every dollar earned. That experience sparked my interest in business and a desire to help people grow stability and opportunity.

I was drawn to Hill because of the firm’s long-term, evidence-based approach and its focus on relationships. From my first interaction, I felt aligned with the team’s values and supported in my growth. I already know I’ll look back on this experience as a defining step in my career.

We’re proud of Sofia, Cameron, and Michael, and excited to learn from them just as much as they’re learning from us. Their early contributions are already helping us grow stronger as a firm.

Stay tuned for more from the interns in a future newsletter.

Big things are happening in Brentwood. Permits are in motion, and construction on our Nashville office remodel is set to begin soon, likely lasting through the summer.

This renovation is more than a facelift. It’s an exciting investment in our team, our clients, and our long-term vision. As the only billion-dollar RIA in the area with a truly evidence-based approach, we’re proud to bring the boutique Hill experience to Middle Tennessee in a refreshed and more intentional space.

Stay tuned—we’ll share updates as the work unfolds.

When our last newsletter hit your inbox, it was a milestone day—the official launch of The Longview Advantage ETF. Now, just a month later, we’re off to a fantastic start. One of the highlights? Ringing the closing bell at Nasdaq. It was more than just a photo op (though we’ve included a great one above)—it was a symbol of what this fund represents: long-term thinking, disciplined investing, and alignment with partners who share our values.

What follows is a brief look at why we chose Nasdaq as our listing partner and how that decision reflects the principles at the core of Hill Investment Group and Longview Research Partners.

Why We Chose Nasdaq: A Commitment to Aligned Values

When we decided to launch The Longview Advantage ETF (EBI), we knew that every choice mattered—down to where we listed the fund. Selecting Nasdaq wasn’t just about visibility or reputation; it was about alignment.

At Hill Investment Group and Longview Research Partners (the parent name of the ETF), our core philosophy is built on evidence, transparency, and a forward-thinking approach. These values aren’t just words—they guide everything we do, from the way we serve clients to the investment principles behind our ETF. When we looked at Nasdaq, we saw an organization that operates with the same commitment to innovation, efficiency, and integrity.

Innovation Meets Evidence-Based Investing

Nasdaq has long been a home for companies that challenge the status quo—firms that look beyond convention and embrace a data-driven, systematic approach to growth. That same mindset fuels The Longview Advantage ETF. Our strategy is built on decades of research and combines the most compelling ideas in the evidence-based community into one fund. It’s an approach that requires discipline, adaptability, and the ability to cut through noise—principles that Nasdaq embodies as a leader in market evolution.

Transparency and Efficiency: A Natural Fit

Investors deserve clarity. The mutual fund industry, as we’ve long observed, often thrives on complexity—hidden fees, opaque strategies, and layers of unnecessary friction. Our ETF was designed to strip that away, delivering a low-cost, rules-based investment vehicle that puts investors first. Nasdaq has been at the forefront of this kind of market efficiency, prioritizing technology, access, and real-time insights to ensure investors have the tools they need to succeed.

The Future of Investing

Choosing Nasdaq was more than a logistical decision—it is a statement. We wanted The Longview Advantage ETF to be listed on an exchange that shares our long-term perspective, one that values research-driven decision-making over speculation. Nasdaq has been home to some of the most innovative firms in history, and we’re proud to be part of that ecosystem.

In my recent interview on Nasdaq’s Just for Funds, I had the chance to talk about why The Longview Advantage ETF exists and how it serves advisors and investors who believe in taking the long view. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the video below.

This is just the beginning of our journey with EBI, and we’re excited about what’s ahead. Thanks for being part of it.

Take the Long View.
