Ann Shigemura-Hildebrand

Ann Shigemura-Hildebrand is the Chief Compliance Officer of AdvicePeriod. Overseeing all aspects of their compliance protocol, Ann ensures the highest level of security. She brings the same level of discipline to their finance team.

Ann, also nicknamed Shiggy by the team, is AdvicePeriod’s, Chief Compliance Officer. She gained her experience and passion for Compliance while at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an Examiner/Accountant and proceeded to stay in the industry her entire career. Prior to joining AdvicePeriod, Ann was VP of Compliance at an institutional registered investment advisor, which managed several mutual funds/hedge funds, for over ten years. AdvicePeriod offered her the opportunity to join an exciting young company with new ideas and, more importantly, firm core values that resonated with her. Her simplest but also most frequent advice is to keep to AdvicePeriod’s core values: humility, integrity, excellence, and honor.

At other firms, Compliance often has the reputation of being an “anti-business, business unit,” something that prevents firms from helping their clients. At AdvicePeriod, Ann instead facilitates the growth of the company, while also ensuring everyone adheres to rules and regulations. She is part of the review group for potential new Partner Advisors and part of a Leadership team, both of which assist the firm in identifying areas of potential risk and provide growth opportunities as well.
