Victor Hicks II, CFP®, AIF®

In addition to his role as an advisor, Victor is the owner and Managing Principal of Lumin Financial.  He is responsible for the firm's strategic plan, investment strategy and retirement plan consulting.

Over his 20+ year career, Victor has spent much of his time helping clients answer important questions, like…

• “How do I give employees an opportunity to save for retirement, while protecting myself from personal liability as the retirement plan trustee?”
• “How do I maximize my own benefits in the retirement plan, and build an adequate nest egg for my family?”
• “When I eventually transition out of my business, how will I maintain the same lifestyle I’ve worked so hard to build for my family?”

What experiences prepared Victor to be an advisor?

Through playing football and working in corporate America, Victor learned the value of teamwork.  He has also spent the last decade coaching several youth sports teams.  He also serves as a board member for the Financial Planning Association.
