About

Hamilton Point provides discretionary investment advisory and wealth management services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other entities. The firm reports roughly $1.21 billion in discretionary assets under management and generally establishes client relationships that meet, or can reasonably be expected to meet, a $1,000,000 minimum account threshold.

Hamilton Point’s investment process is rooted in fundamental analysis across fixed income, equity and alternative strategies, using a hybrid approach that combines individually‑purchased securities (its proprietary Global Core and Equity Income stock lists) with mutual funds and ETFs. Fixed income portfolios are typically laddered and often held to maturity, while the firm performs manager due diligence and will recommend non‑public alternative investments and independent managers for qualified clients.

The brochure highlights aspects that are less common among peers: it discusses use of derivatives such as options and describes alternative vehicles that may employ hedging, long/short strategies or margin/leverage, as well as the firm’s practice of providing regular account and market‑related reports and detailed offering and due‑diligence materials for alternative investments. The document also outlines operational policies such as proxy voting (engaging Glass Lewis), billing and custody procedures (including standing letters of authorization), which together reflect a level of operational disclosure and use of strategies that some similarly sized team firms do not commonly describe.
