About

Hill Island Financial is an SEC‑registered advisory firm that serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts, businesses, retirement plans, and charitable organizations. The firm provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan advisory services, including investment oversight and participant education for ERISA plans.

The firm’s portfolio construction is primarily long‑term focused and built from ETFs and mutual funds, using a blend of fundamental and technical analysis and occasional short‑term adjustments or independent manager allocations when appropriate. Hill Island emphasizes ongoing personal contact and selects share classes and custodial arrangements with attention to tax and trading considerations while allowing clients to place reasonable restrictions on holdings.

Founded in 2021, Hill Island has grown to manage approximately $624 million with a seven‑advisor team and a relatively small client base, and it generally requires a $2 million minimum for investment management. The firm publicly discloses third‑party ratings and describes an institutional relationship with Fidelity that provides platform services and economic benefits—including financial support during the firm’s launch and reimbursements for certain third‑party providers.
