Greg Halter, CFA, Director of Research at Carnegie Investment Counsel

Today, we’re sitting down with Greg Halter, CFA, Director of Research at Carnegie Investment Counsel. Greg’s path through the financial planning side of the business, his formative experience at the Federal Reserve, and his unique insights into Cleveland’s evolving investment landscape give us a lot to unpack.

We talk about why the planning side of finance caught his attention, what he saw behind the scenes at the Fed, and the impact of working at Great Lakes Review. We also cover how Carnegie is approaching the rising tide of AI in investment research—an especially timely topic. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy this episode with Greg Halter.  Connect with Greg here:
