Portfolio Manager
James Investment Research, Inc.

“I am grateful for the outstanding finance education I received at Wright State University.  That foundation helped prepare me for my current position as a Portfolio Manager.  I would encourage finance students to take advantage of the CFA review courses that are sponsored by the finance department.  Because of those courses, I was able to pass Level 1 of the CFA exam on my first attempt.  In the “WSU Real Money Course” I was able to learn from finance professionals that were actively managing money for clients.  I have fond memories of the Finance Club including fund raising events for trips.  As a WSU Alumni Member, I have supported a student scholarship every year since 2010.  I hope that other students recognize the value of the education they received and choose to support Wright State in the future.”

Matthew joined James Investment Research in 2007 and currently works as a Portfolio Manager. Matt supports the accounting, compliance, and research functions. Matt graduated Magna Cum Laude from Wright State University in 2007, where he earned a double Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Finance. Matt also completed The Master of Accountancy program at Wright State University.
