How to be Your Own Chief Investment Officer for Your Fee-Only Firm

The prototypical Chief Investment Officer (CIO) has a degree in finance or economics (maybe an MBA), has a strong analytical background, and is adept at designing efficient systems. If this isn’t quite your background or areas of expertise, but your firm isn’t in the position to keep a CIO on the payroll, know that with intentionality and the right guidance, you can make for a stellar CIO for your firm.
