Hopkins Investment Management LLC
Many investors feel that they are at the mercy of the ebb and flow of the stock market. We believe that investors are concerned about heightened risks related to traditional, publicly traded investments such as stocks and bonds. They are seeking potentially superior returns with lower volatility which can be provided by private investments.
We are FEE-ONLY Investment Managers When it comes to looking for a Financial Advisor, many people are looking for one that is FEE-ONLY. Instead of suggesting commission-driven investment strategies, our fee is a fully disclosed annual percentage of the investments we manage for you. Our clients want – and deserve – objective, unbiased professional guidance when it comes to making important decisions that impact their future. We take our role as your fiduciary seriously and work to earn your trust by holding ourselves to the highest standards of integrity. That's why we operate on a fee-only basis. When your portfolio does well, so do we. We don’t believe in commission-driven investment strategies that pay us up front – before they even start producing for you.

We provide active Investment Management services for individual clients on a FEE ONLY basis (we receive no commissions or benefit of any sort for the portfolios we propose) You talk to us about your personal objectives and then help us analyze your risk tolerance. We recommend an investment portfolio that is customized for you. This recommendation is an integral part of a written investment policy statement. This statement also outlines how performance will be gauged, including benchmarks against which performance will be measured. It is important to note that while past performance is important for comparison purposes, it not a guarantee of future results. You review our investment portfolio recommendations and upon obtaining your agreement, we implement the agreed upon strategy by opening an account in your name at Charles Schwab. We have no relationship with Charles Schwab other than them providing a platform where we can manage your accounts. You will receive statements (at least quarterly), trade confirmations and other account-related communications directly from Charles Schwab Investments. This will include transaction history and specific tax information, such as cost basis values. Each quarter you will also receive personalized investment reports from Hopkins Investment Management. These reports will show account performance and performance comparisons, together with our Quarterly Investment Letter. We will meet with you at least annually to review these reports and your portfolio’s performance, but we are available by phone or in person at any time you wish to meet.
