Hutchinson Financial Featured in Research Magazine

(I-Newswire) October 14, 2009 - Little Rock, AR —October 14, 2009 — Hutchinson Financial, Inc., a financial planning and investment management firm based in Little Rock (with offices in Texarkana, TX) is the subject of a feature article in the September 2009 issue of Research Magazine, a respected financial industry trade journal. In the midst of the turmoil that has rocked the financial services industry in recent years, Hutchinson Financial is recognized for its ability to create success for itself and its clients.

In the article, “Astute Interviewer,” Eric Hutchinson, president of Hutchinson Financial discusses his pragmatic, highly personal approach to helping clients meet their retirement goals. The article likens Hutchinson to “a sharp journalist inducing a subject to open up in an interview or a doctor taking a patient’s medical history.’ He knows how to ask the right questions and probe for the answers that will help him to best serve his retirement planning clientele.

Our founding principle is to communicate clearly and directly with clients and prospects,” Mr. Hutchinson explains. “We work very hard to make sure that we understand every client’s needs and circumstances. With that knowledge we can make suitable recommendations and help them understand their financial options so that they can make intelligent decisions that will support their financial goals.”

The article cites ample evidence that the Hutchinson Financial approach is working. In an economic environment that has forced many financial services firms to contract or close, the firm has not only retained every existing client, but has gained new ones and is expanding its market reach. For over twenty years, Hutchinson has utilized personalized financial planning and proprietary investment management process to help individual clients achieve their retirement goals. The firm has developed The 401(k) Success Navigator to help local employers establish and maintain compliant, attractive 401(k) retirement benefit plans for their employees.

Mr. Hutchinson explains that, “Under ERISA, fiduciaries can be held personally liable for losses to a benefit plan incurred as a result of alleged errors, omissions, or breach of their fiduciary duties. Recent studies confirm a significant increase in fiduciary claims. Most claims are made by plan participants and are mainly the result of benefit disputes, simple administrative errors or deficiencies in communication. We help local plan sponsors decrease their fiduciary risk by acting as their partner, not simply a service provider. We provide the expertise and the commitment to provide both management and employees with personalized, hands-on service and education.”

Hutchinson Financial, an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm, currently manages assets of more than $100 million. The 2008 Best of Business Awards, a reader survey conducted by the Arkansas Business weekly business journal, once again named Hutchinson Financial, Inc. the Best Financial/Personal Investment Services Company.
