History of Jacobi Capital Management

Jacobi Capital Management, LLC, was founded by Michael Hirthler in 2008. The firm’s predecessor was originally founded in 1992 when Michael opened a fully independent branch office of LPL Financial in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Over the years Michael built a highly-respected investment practice that has grown to three locations throughout eastern Pennsylvania. As a client-focused firm in a product-focused industry, Jacobi Capital Management provides objective, fee-based investment and financial planning advice to all clients.

Registered as an Investment Advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Jacobi Capital Management holds itself to the highest fiduciary standard, placing client’s best interests first.

Our Philosophy

We believe every client deserves an advisor who delivers exceptional client service and communication, treats them like family, and takes the relationship to a personal level. Whether a client aspires to a goal-driven investment strategy or more comprehensive wealth management or planning services, the Jacobi Capital team has the expertise and experience each client needs.

Our Wealth Advisers act as fiduciaries for our advisory clients, striving to meet their specified objectives while using strategies that seek to protect their wealth. We provide research-driven financial advice, rather than product-driven financial sales.

Quite simply, we manage our clients’ investments using the same proprietary principles and strategies we use for our own accounts and those of our families.

"Invert, Always Invert"

Following the key teachings of Carl Gustav Jacobi, a well-known mathematician who exhorted his students “Invert, Always Invert,” our founder Michael Hirthler built his advisory practice on the concept of thinking things through backwards.

This idea of turning problems around to consider them from different perspectives is an important component of Jacobi Capital’s multidisciplinary approach – so important that Michael named his firm after Carl Jacobi, providing a daily reminder to himself and his team of this key tenet.

At Jacobi Capital Management, we seek to follow Jacobi’s teachings by analyzing our clients’ goals and potential risks and working diligently to consider “What if…then what?” before investing on their behalf.

Our Commitment to Community

Together, we are on a journey to create a community of giving. Just as our culture is aligned to do what’s best for our clients, our company approaches involvement in the community with the same attitude. From board involvement to gala sponsorships to working with children, the team at Jacobi is always eager to do its part. We are proud to support the organizations below as well as many other worthy causes that positively impact our region.
