Ben Yeager, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, APMA®
PARTNER
“I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoyed learning how to save and invest for the future. It is especially rewarding to use these skills to help others pursue their goals.”
Ben began his financial advising career in 2001 just after graduating from Baylor University, where he majored in Financial Services and Planning. After college he interned with advisor Don Rutledge and knew immediately he wanted to become an advisor. Ben had grown up interested in business, with childhood ventures including lawnmowing, selling candy and lemonade, and even babysitting. Practical and detail-oriented, he takes a methodical approach to financial planning.
At age 23 Ben became one of the nation’s youngest Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) certificants. He has since accumulated several additional certifications: Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), and Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor℠ (APMA®). He heads business strategy for Hilltop and leads the marketing events team.
Ben is a proud Texan – he played goalkeeper for the Baylor Bears soccer team, follows the Dallas Cowboys year-round, and takes his brisket and fantasy football maybe a little too seriously. He and his wife, Leah, love to travel, exploring everything from national parks to amusement parks with their two children, Tyler and Ava.
