Wilbert Hamilton Profiled on WVTM NBC 13 News for His Work Within the African American Community of Birmingham, Alabama | Hamilton Wealth Advisors Founder Explains His Firm’s Purpose and How He Builds Trust with His Clients in the African American Community and Beyond
Birmingham, AL– Wilbert Hamilton, owner and founder of Hamilton Wealth Advisors, is a man on a mission. A graduate of the University of Alabama Birmingham with a degree in economics, he realized that his passion was championing diversity in wealth management. This led him to become the only African American owner of a registered financial advisory firm in Alabama.
“My passion lot in life is strictly creating generational wealth. Education exposure is what created the opportunity mindset that I have. I had a lot of exposure (exposure to black professionals like doctors and lawyers), but never met any financial advisors, though,” Wilbert shared.
His expertise and niche have led him to acquire many high-profile clients, such as Alabama A&M University, where he manages the employee retirement fund. However, he still had to earn people’s trust in the African American community.
“And it is unfortunate that, you know, the people that look like you, you expect to do business with you. Well, for a financial advisor, African Americans have never seen, you know, a black financial advisor.”
What has helped him earn trust within the African American community is never setting a minimum investment to take on a new client, as certain larger firms tend to do. Most African Americans typically don’t have $250,000 or more in their retirement accounts and don’t even get a meeting with larger financial advisory firms. Wilbert’s desire to see his clients secure a sound financial future has helped him acquire various clients and earn trust within the Birmingham, AL community and beyond.
Since its inception, Hamilton Wealth Advisors has stood as a beacon for diversity and inclusion in the financial sector. Wilbert and his team focus on providing tailored wealth management solutions to clients, particularly those from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds. Hamilton Wealth Advisors’ mission is to empower individuals and families with the financial knowledge and tools needed to achieve lasting success.
