Terms Of Use

Investment Recommendation or Advice

We at Hill Investment Group provide investment advisory services only to individuals who become Hill Investment Group clients under a written investment advisory agreement. Articles, commentaries, investment plans, and other content provided by us on or through our website are for illustrative or educational purposes only and do not constitute investment, legal or tax advice, or an offer to buy, sell or hold any security.

Hill Investment Group services are based on long-term investment strategies incorporating the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory. Our investment approach is firmly rooted in the belief that markets are “efficient” over periods of time and that investors’ long-term returns are determined principally by asset allocation decisions, rather than market timing or stock picking. We recommend diversified portfolios, principally through the use of passively managed, asset-class mutual funds. We select or recommend to clients portfolios of securities, principally broadly-traded open-end mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to implement this investment strategy.

Our investment advice seeks to limit risk through broad diversification among asset classes and, as appropriate for particular clients, the direct investment in conservative fixed income securities to represent the fixed income asset class. Our investment philosophy is designed for investors who desire a buy-and-hold strategy. Frequent trading of securities increases brokerage and other transaction costs that Hill Investment Group’s strategy seeks to minimize. Investing entails risk including the possible loss of principal and there is no assurance that the investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Please read the Hill Investment Group Form ADV Part 2 (Brochure) and Form CRS carefully before becoming a client.

Trademarks

We work hard to make sure our goods and services are easily recognizable. We do this by associating our goods and services with our trademarks and trade dress (“Mark” or collectively “Marks”). This is why our Marks cannot be used in any manner that is deceptive or disparaging, or in connection with any product or service that is not ours. Without our prior written consent, using a Mark constitutes trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of our Marks. The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of trademark or other intellectual property rights.
