incorporated in 1962. We began managing investments for Qualified Retirement Plans in 1976
and registered with the SEC as an investment adviser in 1983.

Types of Advisory Services
Petersen Hastings provides investment management services on a fee-only discretionary basis to
individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, charitable organizations, and other
institutions. In addition to investment management, we offer investment
consultation, financial
planning, retirement plan consulting services, and trust administration services.
We develop personalized investment portfolio recommendations by taking into account your
personal circumstances, long-term goals, assets, financial objectives, time horizon, and risk
tolerance. When we select investments for your portfolio, safety of principal and an adequate return
are important considerations, in addition to transaction fees, expense ratios, management style,
and investment philosophy of the investment. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the
management of their accounts. For early investors or clients who do not have at least $50,000 in
assets designated for management, we offer “Managed Accounts Without Financial Planning” for
customized investment management services through a digital platform.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2022, Petersen Hastings had $927,086,401 in client assets under management
on a discretionary basis.
