SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va., Aug. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Financial Advisor Magazine has named HFI Wealth Management in their annual ranking of the country's top Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firms. In listing HFI Wealth Management, Financial Advisor notes, "This is a coveted honor and a true testament to your firm's accomplishment and success this past year."
"It's an honor to be included," says Rob Hoxton CFP®, AAMS, AIF®, founder and CEO of HFI Wealth Management. "To be selected for inclusion on this prestigious list further establishes our credibility and acknowledges the success that we've had within the last year."

Inclusion on the list requires the firm to be an independent RIA that provides financial planning and has completed the Form ADV to document their assets.
HFI Wealth Management works with individuals and businesses, including medical and dental professionals, high net-worth individuals, high-earner households, closely-held businesses and practices, corporate retirement plans, and institutions and foundations.
