HMC Partners

HMC Partners, an independent financial services firm, brings a deeply personalized approach to financial advising to help clients pursue their goals by managing their investments while taking an appropriate amount of risk. The foundation of HMC, which currently has over $400 million in assets under management,1 lies in crafting investment portfolios using the latest technologies and understanding the underlying investments.

By getting to know its clients on a more personal level and taking the time to ensure they have all the information they need, HMC has built a reputation as a highly trusted financial advisor that empowers its clients to make the very best financial decisions.

In contrast to many firms, where clients are often kept out of the loop, HMC revisits their goals regularly to keep them educated and engaged, while managing their expectations throughout the highs and lows of capital markets. For many clients who are new to finance and investing and focused on managing their wealth for retirement and personal goals, this approach is essential.

By providing its clients with a variety of educational resources and leveraging advanced AI-driven software tools to analyze and explain their portfolios, the team emphasizes long-term relationships around long-term investments. It is evident why HMC is trusted by multiple generations of the same families seeking financial advice and guidance from the team.

As hosts of the longest-running finance radio talk show in Triad of North Carolina, “Gib & John’s Money Matters” which has aired for over 20 years, the company has established itself as an important voice in its local community through accessible and engaging financial advice. Partners John Hardy and Gib McEachran were recently asked to be part of an elite group invited to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell. It is recognition such as this that helps to solidify the understanding that HMC Partners stands out as a reputable money management firm.

It has also formed an exclusive partnership with a major regional bank in North Carolina and Virginia, Carter Bank & Trust, functioning as their financial arm and providing financial advice to their customers across all states. Altogether, HMC’s team, led by partners Gib McEachran and John Hardy Jr., has built a big business with an even bigger reach.

“Our biggest strength lies in our exceptional team that recognizes the importance of premier service. It’s this combination of experience and unmatched service that truly sets us apart,” says John W. Hardy, Jr., partner at HMC Partners. “Our younger advisors are developing important relationships with HMC Partners’ next generation of clients.”

At HMC, decades of financial experience is blended with a genuine empathy for clients. Instead of interacting with machines, prospective and existing customers are always connected to a real person, reinforcing the principle that HMC treats everyone like family. This commitment is reflected in the way it handholds clients and their families throughout their financial journey.

One could truly say that what they get from HMC is far more than a financial advisor or wealth manager. It is someone who not only helps clients achieve financial goals but also sits with them throughout many of the situations life throws their way.

Through times of sorrow or celebration, good and bad news, or growing health concerns, HMC’s clients continue to call on them for guidance and support through many of life’s difficult situations.

HMC Partners has created an environment and approach with all clients demonstrating that it is not just their money but also their personal well-being that really does matter.

In the complex and often impersonal world of finance, HMC Partners stands out not just for its expertise but for the dedication it shows to clients’ financial well-being. For HMC, success reflects a future where finance is not just about numbers, but about genuine connections and mutual trust.
