“Consider what a CFO does for a large company. I do that for clients that want personalized service and advice.” - Bob Higgins

There are two types of financial advisors; analysts and salespeople.  How do you tell the difference?  Bob has documented the important ideas that distinguish his practice in a whitepaper, "Investment Philosophy and Guiding Principles," which is available on his website, www.daltonfs.com.

The paper was selected, in 2010, for presentation at the Academy of Financial Services in Denver, CO. The Academy encourages basic and applied research, development of curricula, and interaction between financial professionals and academicians.
 

Bob writes on any financial topics and has been quoted in Morningstar Advisor, The Charlotte Observer, on CNBC and other trade journals and periodicals.
