ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hill Investment Group (HIG), a leading registered investment advisor in the evidence-based-investing space, and its sister firm Longview Research Partners (LRP), creator of The Longview Advantage ETF (EBI), are proud to announce that industry expert Ryan Clinton will join the firms, effective June 2, 2025. In this dual role, Ryan will contribute to both firms as a Portfolio Manager.
Ryan comes to HIG/LRP from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), where he spent nearly six years in various investment and portfolio management positions, with a focus on portfolio implementation, trading strategy, and client communication, as well as direct experience running Dimensional’s flagship core ETF’s. This experience is all deeply aligned with the philosophy of evidence-based investing, and beneficial to the growth and success of The Longview Advantage ETF.
“Ryan has experience running Dimensional’s flagship core ETF’s,” said Matt Zenz, HIG CIO and co-founder of LRP. “This is the exact experience we need to help Longview accomplish its vision of combining the most compelling ideas in the evidence-based landscape into one ETF.”
Ryan will be responsible for overseeing client portfolios at HIG, contributing to trading and strategy development, and helping guide the continued growth of EBI, which has garnered significant attention in the industry since its February 2025 launch. Described as one of the most important innovations in the evidence-based space in recent years, The Longview Advantage ETF reflects a disciplined, valuation-sensitive approach that adapts as market conditions change.
“Ryan’s arrival marks an important next chapter for our firm and the ETF,” said Matt Hall, HIG co-founder and CEO, and co-founder of LRP. “His experience at Dimensional, combined with his passion for smart, long-term investing, sends a clear signal about where we’re heading. EBI is gaining momentum—and Ryan’s move underscores its rise.”
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ryan earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a minor in Information Systems from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
