Common questions#
Is Philip Hart a broker or an investment adviser?
An investment adviser representative only. His record shows adviser-only registration through Perigon and no current FINRA broker registration, although it shows the Series 7 passed in January 1984.
Where is Philip Hart registered?
As an investment adviser representative in California and Hawaii, both approved on 11 March 2016. Neither registration is marked resident.
Does Philip Hart own part of Perigon?
Not directly. Schedule A of Perigon’s Form ADV lists him as a control person with no direct ownership interest of 5% or more, and dates his reported officer title to January 2019. That Schedule A date acquired is a separate fact from the 11 March 2016 start of his adviser registration through the firm on IAPD. The SEC reports ownership in bands, not exact percentages.

Where did Philip Hart work before Perigon?

Perigon’s team page credits him with earlier roles at Bishop Street Capital Management, JP Morgan Private Bank and Northern Trust Bank, which are not on the SEC registration record.
