Professional Background
Hunter Wade is the President of Cornerstone Wealth Management, where he oversees all aspects of the firm’s operations. He leads the company’s investment strategy, working closely with registered representatives at Cornerstone to supervise investment-related business. Hunter also guides the firm’s long-term vision by setting goals, developing portfolio strategies, and establishing investment allocation targets designed to serve clients well over time.

Hunter began his career in the financial services industry with MetLife in 1993. His decision to enter the field was personal. Growing up in southern West Virginia, he watched his parents work hard, his father in the coal mining industry, and his mother as a small business owner. However, they had little guidance when it came to retirement planning. After graduating from West Virginia University, Hunter realized that many families like his own needed someone they could trust to help them prepare for the future. That realization shaped his career, and he continues to find purpose in helping people put meaningful plans in place.

In 2002, Hunter founded Cornerstone Wealth Management with a clear purpose: to build a firm centered on trust, integrity, and long-term relationships. His goal was to create an environment where clients feel heard, informed, and confident in the plans they are putting in place. Cornerstone was established on the belief that financial guidance should be personal, transparent, and grounded in doing what is right for individuals and families. These principles remain at the core of every decision made within the firm today. Hunter is a Registered Representative of Cambridge Investment Research, a broker-dealer and investment adviser, and a member of FINRA and SIPC.
