My <br />responsibilities included the creation and co -management of, two very popular investment vehicles for the firm, tailored to individual <br />investors. When I retired, we had $2.5 billion in assets under management. The strategies, a high quality dividend growth portfolio, and an <br />equity income portfolio; provided an attractive income stream for individual investors (average 3% for dividend growth/3.5% for equity <br />income) as well as capital appreciation; we outperformed our relative benchmark for 12 of those 14 years. More importantly, I was required <br />to evaluate individual stocks with my co -manager's involvement, examine the underlying business model as well as valuation and suitability <br />for inclusion in this research -driven, diversified portfolio approach. It required extensive knowledge of individual industries, the stock market, <br />domestic and global economic environments, changing trends and impact of domestic and global political. I learned to shift when it was the <br />least comfortable, defend my choices, explain when choices did not "work", and accept responsibility for all moves, which may help me in <br />the responsibilities with the EDA committee. I work well with diverse personalities. My work required a high degree of verbal and written <br />communication, through written reports, industry updates and co -hosting a "morning radio -type show" for our financial advisors. <br />Additionally, during my time at RBC, I represented the company as a speaker at client events, discussing the market, industry sectors and <br />stocks on CNBC, Bloomberg, and local/regional news media, quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the NYTimes, StarTribune, among others. <br />Post retirement, I am a mentor at Hamline University, working with undergraduate and graduate students, helping them evaluate career <br />options within the business school, and working with them to polish their speaking and writing skills, in addition to networking and <br />application process for internships. I also teach a personal finance seminar each year, tailored towards college students. <br />Employment, Occupations or Other Relevant Experience <br />RBC Wealth Management, 1993-2016: Research/Portfolio Analyst Prior brokerage firm work includes Shearson Lehman Brothers, Dean Witter <br />-- 1984-1993: administrative and sales positions.
