Registered Investment Advisor (RIA)
As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Blackhaw is legally bound by its fiduciary duty to manage clients' financial assets in a manner that is in their best interest, and to find the best investment opportunities for them. Brokers are not held to the same standard. Learn about the difference here and why you should consider working with an Advisor, not just a broker.

Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
As a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Ian has pledged his commitment to the strictest code of ethics and standards of professional conduct found in the investment industry. Learn more about CFA standards here and why you should consider a CFA Charterholder when choosing a financial advisor.

Prior to founding Blackhaw, Ian was the Director of Research and Investment Management for a family office investment company and private foundation, where he was responsible for investment research and analysis. He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, with a concentration in finance and a specialization in investment management and security analysis. While at UT, he served as a Portfolio Manager to The MBA Investment Fund, LLC, a private investment company, and as a member of the Venture Capital Fellows.
