I’m big into gratitude — especially when it comes to the entire Hill Investment Group team. Our collective hard work and thoughtful collaboration have been the essential ingredients in any and all professional successes we’ve enjoyed here at HIG.

To celebrate our time together, we’ve established two annual traditions. Each summer, we hold a mid-year family style BBQ (where we’ve been known to engage in lively debates on St. Louis pork steaks versus Texan brisket). Come Christmas, we don our formal attire for a more splashy gathering. Katie and I enjoy planning our Christmas celebration, so the rest of the team can relax and have a good time.

From our family to yours, we wish you a wonderful new year. To extend our gratitude onward, don’t forget to check out our book gift to you.

Rick Hill and I are thrilled to welcome John Reagan as an additional owner of Hill Investment Group! During the past year we designed a detailed ownership program and are pleased that it provides a sustainable plan for the future of the firm. John has made exceptional contributions to Hill Investment Group. Please join us in congratulating him on his long-term commitment to the firm.

Dear Clients and Friends,

Between now and the next newsletter, Hill Investment Group will celebrate its 10 year anniversary. As you can see from one of our first team photos, not much has changed. Even our original mission statement from June 6th, 2005 holds true today: to bring science, simplicity, and transparency to investors. We still get a feeling of pride every time a client tells us we’ve done just that.

Our team recently updated our strategic plan, and I’m convinced that the next ten years will be every bit as prosperous as the first.

Thank you for taking the long view with us,

Rick Hill
