The Fiduciary Group recently announced that Research Analyst Hayden L. Blow earned the prestigious Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation from the CFA Institute. Blow is a key member of the firm’s investment team, with responsibilities including research, portfolio construction and trading.

One of the highest distinctions in the investment management profession, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is awarded to professionals who have completed the CFA Program as well as work experience requirements. The CFA Program is a three-part exam that tests the fundamentals of investment tools, valuing assets, portfolio management and wealth planning. CFA charterholders earn the right to use the CFA designation after program completion, application and acceptance by CFA Institute.

“We’re thrilled that Hayden has officially earned his CFA designation,” said Joel Goodman, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at The Fiduciary Group. “Hayden is a core member of our investment management team, with strengths ranging from equity research to portfolio construction. This important designation will allow Hayden to better serve current and future clients.”

He joined The Fiduciary Group in 2021 and has previous experience working as a Financial Advisor with a local investment firm in Savannah, Ga.
