Professional Approach

Not All Financial Professionals are the Same

Is the investment advice you are receiving really in your best interests? Unless your financial advisor understands and follows a fiduciary process, you can’t really be sure. Even those investment professionals who are required to act as fiduciaries might not have the experience or training to prepare them for this enormous responsibility.

As an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®), Bob Lawson has been certified specifically for his ability to follow a fiduciary process with his clients’ best interests at heart. Here are some attributes that make AIF® Designees different from other advisors or financial professionals:

• Experience - Designees are required to provide documented industry and educational experience to qualify for the designation.

• Education - Designees must complete the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) Training, which covers the Prudent Practices® for managing fiduciary assets for wealth, nonprofit and retirement clients.

• Examination - Designees must pass an examination to prove comprehension of the Prudent Practices® and ability to act in the best interest of clients.

• Ethics - Designees adhere to a Code of Ethics and Conduct Standards that show a commitment to a higher degree of industry professionalism.

• Continuing Education - Designees commit to keeping their knowledge and skills sharp by completing annual continuing education requirements.

Master Registered Financial Consultant

As the recipient of the Master Registered Financial Consultant (MRFC®) designation, Bob Lawson has met the experiential, educational and licensing requirements in the field of financial planning and services rendered.

Since 1988, Barrington Capital Management, Inc. has been committed to providing concierge-level service and communication for retail and institutional clients. We are a fee-based, independent Registered Investment Adviser, not commission brokers.

Bob Lawson is the Founder, President, and Chief Compliance Officer of Barrington Capital Management, Inc. and possesses nearly 40 years of financial experience with securities, investments, insurance, and as an investment fiduciary.
