About

Petersen Hastings Wealth Advisors is an SEC‑registered, multi‑advisor wealth management firm managing roughly $1.58 billion for about 1,232 clients with a 20‑advisor team. It serves individuals and high‑net‑worth households and also provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement‑plan consulting (including ERISA 3(21)/3(38) services), trust administration, and institutional advisory services for pension plans, charities, trusts and other businesses, including insurance company clients.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and a passive investing philosophy, favoring low‑cost, no‑load mutual funds (notably DFA and Vanguard) and prioritizing diversification, cost and tax control over market timing; it generally does not recommend individual stocks or bonds. Petersen Hastings conducts oversight through an Investment Committee, offers model‑based participant allocation for retirement plans, and is a member of The Zero Alpha Group, which advocates a 100% passive strategy.

Noteworthy operational features disclosed in the brochure include a trust representative office arrangement with National Advisors Trust for trust administration and a digital managed‑account option for smaller or early‑stage investors. The firm also discloses a marketing arrangement (SmartVestor Pro with The Lampo Group) and the use of public marketing materials and testimonials—an approach and client mix (including insurance company clients) that are less common among similarly sized multi‑team peers—alongside a stated recommendation of a preferred custodian platform for institutional services and operational support.
