Chairman
A financial leader who values building community
Infusing 40+ years of wealth stewardship with a warm, caring demeanor that turns clients into loyal friends.
Bob Hall’s leadership and likeability started early in life. He was a standout athlete, captain of 3 sports in high school, but it was those relationships that meant the most to him. While earning his B.A. at Brown, his teammates elected him captain of both the football and baseball teams. In his senior year, he was selected the recipient of the George Bulger Lowe Award, as New England’s best collegiate football player.
Then the AFL, NFL and MLB all drafted him—one of the few players to ever be sought by three different leagues. He chose the NFL and played briefly for the Minnesota Vikings before starting his financial services career.
After working as a stockbroker with Paine Webber in Boston, Mr. Hall was tapped by Rhode Hospital Trust National Bank to become an investment advisor managing $400 million in assets. He then was appointed Fleet National Bank’s youngest-ever Vice President. He headed up its Pension Division, overseeing the management of over $1.2 billion, and was a member of the bank’s Investment Policy Committee.
Sensing the need to offer a substantive alternative to large brokerage firms and bank trust departments, Mr. Hall then co-founded The Providence Group Investment Advisory Group in 1976. His instincts were correct. Over 22 years, The Providence Group’s assets under management grew significantly until its sale to Fleet 22 years later.
After its sale in 1998, Mr. Hall established Hall Capital Management Company. He and his team grew it into a dedicated, loyal welcoming group that offers individuals, corporate, endowments, and retirement clients accessibility and personalized attention.
He is proud that Hall Capital never wavers from meeting the investment needs of its clients, addressing their particular investment goals. Achieving them is always Hall Capital’s sole objective.
Bob Hall’s other endeavors include serving on several financial and charity boards, serving as a Trustee Emeritus of Worcester Academy, Chairman of the Board of the Brown Football Association, co-founding the Ivy Football Group, and Honorary Board member of Volunteer Services for Animals.
