WHERE INVESTING IS A SCIENCE

Seeking, employing and communicating evidence-based investment principles and research are the core of our services to you.

Investing can at times seem overwhelming and daunting. If you examine your own life, you’ll find that it is often the simple things that have proven to be the most successful. Investing is no different. However, it is easy to have your attention drawn to the wrong issues. These wrong issues, the noise, can derail your journey.

Academic studies and history prove that a low-cost, passive investment strategy outperforms the vast majority of active investors. Instead of trying to beat the market, our passive approach succeeds by investing in the market.

Hurst Wealth Advisors, LLC is one of a select group of investment advisors with access to institutional funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors, which applies proven academic research to portfolio management. We help our clients create a diverse portfolio across DFA’s broad mix of asset classes.
