Tom Hartland, pioneer in independent investment consulting, founded Hartland & Co. in 1989. He founded Hartland under the belief that independence in a company is essential for unbiased advice to its clients. Today they are completely owned by their employees and members. Due to this fact, their directors and owners come from within the company, acting as a great incentive for its employees to remain with Hartland.
In 2009, Hartland invested in the leadership of their company by hiring veterans in the industry as president and directors. Today they advice over 50 institutions, 60 private clients and manage a total of over $8 billion in assets.
