   Hierax Wealth Partners

   Sep 2023 — Present · Westport, CT, US

   Hierax Wealth Partners is an independent wealth management and financial planning firm supported in full partnership with Hightower Advisors. Hierax Wealth Partners was founded with one goal in mind: to provide sophisticated, concierge wealth management services to a select group of families who are seeking an active partner in managing all aspects of their financial lives. We are fiduciaries who operate as a multi-family office-where we serve a select number of clients; where we understand that major life changes do not abide by normal business hours; and where we expect the best version of ourselves to deliver to our clients every day. The firm is co-founded by Alexandra J. Miele, CFP® and Scott R. Milford, CFP®. Hierax is the ancient Greek word for hawk – symbolizing independence, adaptability, self-determination, and focus. The hawk is also renowned for its unparalleled vision – biologically equipped with the ability to catch the smallest details while simultaneously remaining focused on the big picture. For our team, this concept is our most important core value – we strive to focus on the big picture while not losing sight of the smallest details that can and will drive the most significant impact. What does this mean to you as a client? • It means that every investment decision is driven by an exhaustive financial planning process – and that every decision we make is made with specific goals in mind. • It means that we take the reigns as the CEO of your team of trusted professionals – and that we dedicate the time to make sure each piece is working in harmony together. • It means that we serve a select group of clients, and that we interview you the same way you interview us to make sure the relationship is compatible. • It means that we expect the best version of ourselves to deliver to our clients. • It means that your investment portfolio is customized to your individual needs and are not limited to proprietary offerings.
