Each year, Dimensional analyzes investment returns from a large sample of US-domiciled funds (over 4,000). This year’s study updates results through 2022 and includes returns from mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) domiciled in the US. The evidence shows that a majority of fund managers in the sample failed to deliver benchmark-beating returns after costs. We believe that the results of this research provide a strong case for relying on market prices when making investment decisions.

Charles Kafoglis leads our Hillfolio segment and produced a stellar educational resource recently titled “The Greatest Double“.  Many clients connected with the message of the importance of time to the patient investor. Charles is back with a new gem called “The Path to Greater Returns”, a compelling story that extends our understanding beyond time and seeks to prove that your investment rate of return is just as important.

We’re often asked what separates us from other firms. Our answer is our people – we believe we have a unique group of individuals who collectively make for a fantastic team to serve our clients. 

We are excited to announce that two members of our team have earned promotions:

Abby Wiss (Crimmins) – Abby has been promoted from Associate Advisor to Service Advisor. Abby has been with our firm for five years and continues to provide an especially high level of service to our clients – whether that is helping with something like money movements or thinking through more complicated scenarios like Roth conversions. For more about Abby, click here.

Matt Luzecky – We have promoted Matt from Associate to Associate Advisor. In Matt’s 3+ years with our firm, he has shown he is an integral part of the client service team… and always ready with a joke! His ability to look at client situations and internal processes differently allows us to continue improving the service level we provide to our clients. Learn more about Matt here.

Congrats to both team members on well-deserved promotions!
