About H&S Capital Enterprise

H&S Capital Enterprise is a financial services firm exclusively dedicated to serving the HBCU community across all 99 accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the U.S. and U.S. Virgin Islands. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, we provide insurance and financial strategies through licensed professionals working with A-rated carrier partners.

Our mission is to help close the wealth gap by educating, equipping, and partnering with HBCU alumni, families, professionals, and business owners to build generational wealth.

02

Licensing and Regulatory Status

H&S Capital Enterprise and its representatives are licensed where required by state insurance and financial services regulators. Specific products and services are offered only in jurisdictions where the relevant entity or representative holds active licensure.

Verify our licensing:

  • Insurance professionals — verify via the National Insurance Producer Registry at nipr.com or your state department of insurance.
  • Investment Advisor representatives (where applicable) — verify via FINRA BrokerCheck at brokercheck.finra.org or the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database at adviserinfo.sec.gov .

Insurance products are offered only by individuals licensed under H&S Capital Enterprise. Investment advisory services, if applicable, are offered only through individuals properly registered with the appropriate federal or state regulator.

03

Carrier and Partner Relationships

Companies listed on our website as partners, product providers, or carriers — including Transamerica, Nationwide, and National Life Group — maintain current selling agreements with H&S Capital Enterprise. Through these relationships we offer their insurance and financial products to clients.

These relationships do not constitute an endorsement of H&S by the carriers, nor an endorsement of the carriers by H&S. Each carrier remains solely responsible for the products it issues.

04

Compensation Disclosure

H&S Capital Enterprise and its licensed representatives are compensated for the insurance and financial products we recommend.

Compensation may include commissions paid by carriers at the time of sale, renewal commissions over the life of a policy, bonuses, marketing allowances, non-cash incentives (such as conferences or training), and other forms of payment. The amount and form of compensation varies by product, carrier, and the licensee involved.

This creates a potential conflict of interest. We mitigate this by recommending products based on suitability to your needs and goals, by representing multiple carriers, and by disclosing this relationship to you. Before purchasing any product, you may request a specific summary of how H&S and the recommending representative will be compensated.

05

No Tax or Legal Advice

H&S Capital Enterprise and its representatives do not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Any reference to tax topics in our website, webinars, guides, Ask H&S AI assistant, or other communications is general information only. You should consult your own qualified tax, legal, and accounting advisors before making any decision based on information from us.

06

Not a Solicitation or Offer

Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any insurance product, security, or investment advisory service in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful, or to any person to whom it would be unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.

Products and services are offered only by appropriately licensed representatives in states where the representative and the offered product are properly registered or exempt from registration.

07

Past Performance and Forward-Looking Statements

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections shown on our website or in our materials are illustrative only and do not guarantee any specific outcome. All investments and insurance products involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

08

Educational Content and Calculators

Our financial education content — including the Financial Education hub, downloadable guides, webinars, and any calculators or interactive tools we may offer — is provided for general educational purposes. Outputs from any calculator or analysis are estimates based on the data you provide, and are not a personalized financial plan.

A complete financial plan can only be developed through a personal consultation with a licensed H&S representative, taking into account your full situation.

Ask H&S AI Assistant Disclosure

Responses are generated by a third-party large language model and may contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or omissions. Ask H&S does not collect or process Social Security numbers, account numbers, passwords, or other sensitive credentials, and you should not share them with the tool.

Any information provided by Ask H&S is for general education only and does not constitute insurance, investment, tax, or legal advice. Before acting on anything you learn from Ask H&S, please consult a licensed H&S representative. Conversations are logged in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

  • Past client experiences do not guarantee future results;
  • Testimonials may have been edited for length and clarity;
