A Wealth of Financial Advice
Whether you are building an investment portfolio or looking to take yours to the next level, we shape solutions to meet your needs.
HJ Sims was founded 85+ years ago during the Great Depression. Throughout, HJ Sims has maintained a steady presence, providing financing for essential sectors of our communities, like hospitals, charter schools and assisted living communities.
Seven years ago, HJ Sims opened our first branch outside the mainland U.S. in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We believe in Puerto Rico and are committed to providing our community with outstanding service, guidance and support.
Advanced Strategies and Custom Solutions
We evaluate your individual situation and aspirations to help position you to enjoy your desired lifestyle. We also recognize that retirement is neither traditional, nor is it dictated by a calendar or specific age – it’s a mindset, a second-act and an opportunity for a new journey. Whether your investment goal is to save for milestones or retirement, our wealth experts work tirelessly to construct a portfolio that helps to enrich your life and the lives of your family members for years to come.
Sophisticated Investments for the Elite Investor
With HJ Sims, not only do you have access to an entire universe of income-generating offerings, you are exclusively invited to invest in specialty municipal issues that have been underwritten by our investment banking team and uniquely crafted by our experts. Private Placement investments, frequently higher risk and higher-yielding, offer a sophisticated product class for the qualified investor. Note that Private Placements are illiquid and speculative investments; complete loss of principal may occur and there is no guarantee of liquidity. We work with you, while relying on our spirit for innovation and deep expertise to structure your portfolio, accordingly.
Investment Income Expertise
With more than 85 years of expertise, we help you to reach your investment goals. Why just invest in bond funds when your portfolio holds so much more potential? We offer in-house holistic wealth management, examining equities, individual high-yield instruments, alternative investment strategies, portfolio management and more – helping you leverage the potential within the market, adjusting your portfolio to meet current conditions and better protect your assets.
