PODCAST

I founded HathawayFinancial with a passion for helping people invest wisely in the markets, plan for the long term and retire comfortably. I encourage you to use this website to help you think about selecting an investment advisor. I’m certain you’ll find that our firm is best practice all the way around. Comprehensive advice, planning and no conflicts.

— Sean Hathaway, Founder & Principal

What You Must Expect

Unlike 90% of financial advisors, a Registered Investment Advisor is required to act as your fiduciary and serve your best interests. They should never receive “kick-backs” from the funds or institutions where your money is invested.

NO Commissions – NO hidden incentives.

Financial Planning

Many if not most advisors will charge extra for financial planning. Ask up front. At HathawayFinancial we provide you free access to sophisticated software that enables you to track detailed cash flows and investment analysis years into the future.

Investment Management

Your advisor should help you build a diversified tax efficient strategic portfolio serving you for the long term. At HathawayFinancial we ensure your money and investments are optimized for you. Your investments are secure and custodied with Charles Schwab, Inc.

Financial Advice

Advisors should be easily accessible and willing to provide real-time advice on all sorts of topics, like the following:

Stock Plans – Options – RSU’s – ESPP – College Savings – Charitable Giving – 401k – Insurance – Estate Planning – Trusts – Small Business Retirement Plans – 10b 5-1 planning

We are only a text, email or phone call away…at all times!

What to Look For

Quality Investments

High quality and low cost investments. What does that mean? You want the best investments for the long term with the lowest fees. It seems obvious, but it’s not as common as you’d think. Many advisors will put you in funds that charge high fees and regularly perform poorly against industry benchmarks. Did you know index funds cost 10x less than industry average and regularly beat active managers?

At HathawayFinancial we craft your individualized portfolio using index funds from Schwab, Vanguard, BlackRock and other reputable firms.

Fixed Transparent Fee Structure

We ensure that our interests and your interests are aligned.There should be no hidden fees. No kick-backs and no commissions. Ex. some advisors will pedal you insurance products or complex annuities, and you can be certain they are being paid on the back-end. Since I started HathawayFinancial, I’ve been charging a flat transparent fee of 0.90% of Assets Under Management (also known as AUM). The fee is lower as your assets grow.

Real-time Financial Advice

Any decent financial advisor will be a phone call, text message away or email away. That is us. Real-time answers.

Independent and Objective

Perhaps the most important element of selecting an Advisor is ensuring they are independent and objective. Seems like I keep repeating this, but there should be no commissions, no selling other products, like insurance or annuities. HathawayFinancial is a registered RIA and therefore we are required to put your financial interests first as your legal fiduciary.
