For many business owners and busy professionals, there’s little time left after career and family to deal with personal finances. Perhaps you’ve saved money, have some life insurance, or invested in the market but haven’t taken time to examine your current financial situation to ensure you are on track to meet your goals? That is where Erik Hsu helps. Whether you are concerned about your own financial situation or that of your family or business, Erik can help you identify your financial planning needs and navigate the roadmap to achieve financial security.
Erik was drawn to Northwestern Mutual after being a client for four years and wanting to create a greater impact that allowed himself and others to live a life of intentionality. He has spent the last several years expanding his business and providing top-quality financial services to his clients. Erik specializes in providing strategic, comprehensive advice to help successful business owners, established families and high-net-worth individuals meet their financial goals.
In 2019 a new chapter opened in his practice, Two Rivers Wealth. Erik and Brian Hope have worked together at Northwestern Mutual for the past seven years. They came together around a shared vision to build a firm with the values, expertise, and longevity to serve the evolving needs of our clients and their families for generations to come.
Erik and his wife, Miranda, reside in Monroe, LA with their three children: Price, Kinley and Asher. He is passionate about being present and available to his family. Erik is most proud of giving his life to God, being married for over 10 years, and raising their children.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
New Orleans Pelicans
Northwestern Mutual-Louisiana and Mississippi is the Proud Financial Planning Partner of the New Orleans Pelicans. As a network, we proudly give back through the avenue of the New Orleans Pelicans Assist for a Cure Program. For every assist this Pelicans season, our firm donated $15 per assist, donating a total of $28,080. This donation goes towards the cancer research at the Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center. Our donation of $28,080 will impact the lives of cancer patients and their families and go towards the advanced clinical research and innovation of a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
University of Louisiana at Monroe's Athletic Foundation Board
With Erik's passion for golf and as the former head golf coach at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, it's very important to Erik that he assists in the organization of fundraisers along with the Monroe Athletic Foundation Board. The fundraisers help to raise funds for the current ULM Golf team.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
