GEORGE DAGNINO

GEORGE DAGNINO, President of Peter Dag & Associates, Inc. has been a
money manager for over twenty years. He has edited ‘The Peter Dag
Portfolio Strategy and Management’ since founding it in 1977. His
expertise and know-how have gained international recognition in the
financial world and resulted in an outstanding record of performance for
the Peter Dag advisory. The performance of his model portfolios has been
measured slightly riskier than Treasury bills (Source: Hulbert). Yet he
has been ranked consistently among the best investment advisors on a
risk adjusted basis according to Mark Hulbert. And, he was recognized as
‘one of the best asset allocators’ and ‘standout performer’ according to
Forbes. As a former chief economist and risk manager for Goodyear, Mr.
Dagnino developed investment strategies for a $1.3 billion interest
rates hedge portfolio, $1 billion of foreign currency hedge portfolio,
and $2 billion debt portfolio. He served on the Ohio Governor’s Economic
Advisory Council and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Economists
Roundtable, and holds memberships in the Financial Analysts Federation,
the National Association of Business Economists, the Association of
Market Technicians, and Sales and Marketing Executives. As a professor
at Baldwin-Wallace College, Mr. Dagnino has taught how business cycles
impact investment and business strategies and how international
financial markets impact foreign exchange rates. He is the author of
‘Business and Financial Cycles’, a textbook used in M.B.A. programs, and
is a frequent lecturer before corporate and investment audiences.
