Wealth Managers & Trustees

Individuals and families have long relied on the professionals of Hemenway & Barnes to preserve and enhance their wealth through sound trust management. Our role goes far beyond that of an investment advisor, financial planner and, indeed, beyond the role typically played by a lawyer. We invest the time it takes to understand your needs, earn your trust and see the whole picture. We anticipate your needs and deliver counsel and guidance with an independent and experienced point of view, and help you move forward with assurance.

Working with the investment professionals at Hemenway Trust Company, a New Hampshire based private trust company, we manage the full range of client assets, including retirement accounts, endowments, and alternative assets. Coupled with sophisticated estate and tax planning, charitable planning and family office services, Hemenway & Barnes offers a one-stop, one-call solution to help you simplify the complexities of managing your wealth.
