Protecting our Clients from the Fastest 30% Sell-Off in History:

We think about, view and analyze risk differently than most advisors. In early 2020, investors around the world were caught off guard with the ferocity of the market plunge. The risk of a global economic recession had undeniably increased, yet the stock market continued to climb. In February, the S&P 500 was at its highest valuation level in almost 20 years and had closed at an all-time record high. What followed was the fastest 30% sell off in history.

Trusted Advisor. Strategic Partner.

HWM leverages and develops proprietary financial technology to provide clients with high-quality service regardless of their geographic location.

Experience Matters

In the world of finance, very few have walked past the George Washington statue on their way to work on Wall Street in lower Manhattan. That corner office overlooking the Statue of Liberty gives a unique perspective. In a career spanning three different decades, I’ve helped clients ranging from individuals underwater in student debt to investment funds for entire countries.

Professional Acumen Matters

The world is rapidly changing. Being average doesn’t cut it. All of our advisors are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals. Our investment process is driven by proprietary research and cutting edge quantitative algorithms to better serve you.

Ethical Commitment Matters

As fiduciaries, we only serve in our clients’ best interest and are committed to ethical standards that benefit the public.

Father and Son

The Hempel Wealth Management Difference:

Highest Ethical Standards

As Fiduciary advisors, we put clients’ best interests first.

We seek the best prices and terms on your behalf. Our ethical commitment is to always act in good faith and provide all relevant facts.

Fee-Only

We NEVER charge commissions or ever sell financial products.

Our compensation is structured in a way that reduces conflict and enhances transparency.

$0 Minimum

Everyone deserves good financial advice!

We have flexible options regardless of portfolio size. Together, we’ll invest in your future.

Financial Planning

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals generally considered the “gold standard” of financial planning and have expertise across multiple areas of your financial life.

Quantitative Research

Our proprietary quantitative investment algorithms are guided by purpose and grounded in robust research. Coupled with your investment time horizon and goals, our investment solutions are designed to help you achieve your most important goals.

Investment Risk Specialists

Rather than focus only on seeking potential returns, we place the highest priority on preventing losses. Large gains in good times are not necessarily proof of skill. It takes superior performance in bad times to prove great returns were earned through skill, not luck.
