I have a long record of success in client-centered investment management, with experience in all phases of the investment process: analytics, research, asset allocation, investment selection, performance evaluation and communicating results that are relevant, robust and understandable. I have managed bond portfolios for insurance companies and multi-asset portfolios for endowments, foundations, pension plans and high-net worth individuals. This experience has helped me develop a holistic perspective focused on helping clients to achieve a secure financial future. Using this perspective, I have helped to transform several investment organizations from followers to leaders in the industry, who now measure success in terms of their clients’ financial outcomes, rather than simply beating benchmarks.
I have also dedicated myself to mentoring and training investment staff, many of whom have moved their careers forward as a result of this training. For over a decade I was an adjunct faculty member for a university MBA program, and an instructor for investment professionals taking the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams. Toward this end, I have published many articles, both in public investment journals, with the CFA Institute and also on LinkedIn. This has allowed me to advance the body of knowledge within the industry.
I believe that trustworthiness, diligence and capability are essential values for those who take responsibility for client assets.
