Listen Later

President and CEO Phillip Hamman of Linscomb Wealth on how his firm outpaced market growth with a laser focus on client satisfaction.

In this episode of the RIA Edge Podcast, David Armstrong, editorial director for Informa Connect’s Wealth Management Group, talks with Phillip Hamman, president and CEO of Linscomb Wealth, about the firm’s comprehensive financial planning services, where they leverage a team-based approach and institutional knowledge to address clients’ diverse needs. Founded over 50 years ago, Linscomb Wealth transitioned to a fiduciary fee-only firm in the 1980s, doubling assets to $4.2 billion. With 1800 clients nationwide, they cater primarily to those with $1-10 million in liquid assets and believe prioritizing client well-being is a strong catalyst for driving organic growth.

Specifically, David and Phillip discuss:

  • How tracking detailed metrics guides their strategic decision-making. 
  • Why the firm prioritizes cultural alignment with potential acquisitions to safeguard against diluting their core principles and maintaining a cohesive organizational structure.
  • The challenges in talent acquisition and where they look to identify the right candidates who not only possess the necessary skills but, more importantly, align with the firm’s client-centric values.
  • How their relationship with Cadence Bank has expanded their product portfolio while still allowing the firm to maintain its independence.
  • What future services the firm is looking to offer to stay ahead of industry trends and client demands.
