The Washington Research Group has been monitoring Washington administrative, legislative and regulatory activities for institutional investors for more than 35 years under the umbrella of several broker dealers. Prior to Guggenheim, I worked for the Washington Research Group under the umbrella of parent companies MF Global, Concept Capital, Stanford Group Company and Charles Schwab. We attempt to inform top stock analysts and portfolio managers from the nation’s largest mutual and retirement funds about how the initiatives in Washington may or may not affect publicly traded companies. We do not make stock recommendations but provide important, incremental data points to well informed institutional investors.​

I monitor Washington legislative and regulatory policy affecting publicly traded companies in the health care sector for institutional investors. I am in contact with the advocacy community, congressional staff, and appropriate branches of the administration to offer our clients insights on how changes in Washington may affect these stocks. In this capacity I author research reports for client distribution and provide service through direct client contact.
