Hussmen Financial

The firm serves high‑net‑worth individuals, charitable organizations, and other entities, and also works with corporate or business clients. Its primary offerings are comprehensive financial planning (ongoing and limited‑scope), trustee and estate‑related services, and tax and accounting work, with investment supervisory services maintained only for legacy accounts.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and may involve referrals to sub‑advisers (including use of third‑party portfolio solutions) and a mix of long‑ and short‑term trading, margin activity, and private placement or secured note investments when appropriate. Most assets reported are managed on a non‑discretionary basis ($43.5M non‑discretionary versus about $212k discretionary), and the firm primarily bills clients with fixed, ongoing, or hourly planning fees while AUM‑based fees apply only to legacy supervisory relationships.

Noteworthy features include the principal’s outside tax preparation and accounting activities and the firm’s provision of trust structuring, ongoing accounting/tax work, and support for entities such as family limited partnerships and private foundations—services that are uncommon among solo independent advisers. The combination of a very small client roster and a concentration of non‑discretionary assets further distinguishes its operating and fee model from peers that typically manage more discretionary AUM and rely on percentage‑of‑AUM billing.
