Who We Are
A wealth management, investment banking, and institutional services firm helping individual investors, organizations, municipalities and institutions realize their potential since 1935. From building wealth to building communities, we help clients navigate an uncertain world.
What We Stand For
Integrity. Service. Compassion. Collaboration. At HJ Sims, these are more than nice-sounding words. They are sacred promises to our clients. They are the values we embody. As a family-founded business, we are inspired daily by the example of our founder and visionary namesake, Herbert J. Sims, who launched the company in the darkest days of the Great Depression. Back in 1935, he opened a one-room investment office with money loaned from an influential venture capitalist: his mother. With few assets other than his good name and commitment to excellence, he quietly built a financial powerhouse that became the envy of Wall Street.
Today, we remain true to these values. They remain our competitive edge, the qualities that set us apart in an increasingly crowded financial marketplace. The name on our door is a continuing reminder of where we came from — and where we are going.
Building a Better Tomorrow
Our mission remains the same as it was in 1935: to listen carefully, deliver tailored services and treat our clients and employees like family.
