For years we have used books to tell our philosophical story. If investors want to know what the academic evidence says about investing, we have more than a dozen different options in stock.

Larry Swedroe, who sat down to discuss his latest book with Matt recently (view the video here), has written 14 books over the past 16 years. Our collection ranges from simplistic to highly technical, but one thing is missing: a book we’ve penned ourselves.

That’s about to change!

I’m excited to tell you that I’ve been working on a book for the last five months. We can’t say much more at this point, but have no fear: it won’t be long, it won’t be boring, and it won’t be something that’s been done before. Most importantly, it will help others Take the long view!

Watch this blog and our social media channels for details as we share more over the coming months.

You may have noticed Hill Investment Group popping up in some new places over the past month. With the help of digital strategy consultant, Nicole Hudson, the Hill team is wading into the world of digital media. Digital platforms are increasingly core in the way the world communicates and we are looking forward to uncovering what that means for Hill Investment Group.

In addition to sharing more about who we are outside of Hill Investment Group, our plan is to widen the audience for the articles, ideas, research, and experience we’re already sharing as a team, with clients and with colleagues.

Nicole has been helping organizations navigate digital waters for over 15 years. In her agency life, she worked with clients like The New Yorker, Lincoln Center and AT&T. In addition to working with us at Hill, Nicole works with KDHX Community Media, Metro Theater Company, the artist Brian Owens, and others.

You can now find Hill Investment Group on LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+.

Matt Hall was quoted in a January 5th article by business reporter Jim Gallagher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Jim discusses floating rate funds and how they perform in different market environments. As Matt notes in the article, floating rate funds aren’t a wise investment because they “fare much worse than investment-grade bond funds in bad times, but they don’t have the upside gains of the stock market in good times.”
