Ward Good is licensed in the following state(s)*:
AL, CA, FL, IN, KY, MD, NC, OH, SC, TX, VA
Ward has advised wealthy individuals, endowments and trusts in Virginia for the past 25 years. The cornerstone of his process consists of valuation using discounted cash flow modeling: nevertheless, he believes that models are, at best, only representations of future events. As a result, he also emphasizes judgment based on qualitative factors.

Ward manages individual portfolios using a combination of quantitative and qualitative measurement techniques. He is a firm believer that the value of any asset is the discounted present value of its future cash flows. He also believes in the creative destruction process whereby individual entrepreneurs can find ways to make money regardless, sometimes at the expense of entrenched interest. Risk management also plays a vital role in the investment process.

Ward consults each client regularly and continuously seeks to properly match each client’s risk tolerance with his or her goals. He monitors all portfolios in an effort to find the proper balance among asset classes and within equity portfolios. His clients’ all-equity portfolios contain a mix of stocks selected across capitalization ranges and growth rates, but always with an eye toward the companies’ management and their ability to sustain their growth and replace their productive assets.

Before coming to Oppenheimer, Ward served as First Vice President at Scott & Stringfellow as well as at UBS Wealth Management.

He has been active in the Richmond financial community, serving on various not for profit boards, most recently as President of the CFA Virginia Society in 2010 . In the past, he has been Treasurer of the Library of Virginia Foundation and is a member of the Leadership Metro Richmond class of 2001. He is also on the Advisory Board of a private technology company called Stronghold Networks.

A graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, Ward earned a B.A. in English literature. He holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation from the CFA Institute and received the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA)® designation from the Investment Management Consulting Association through coursework at the Wharton School of Business, the University of Pennsylvania.

He has four children and, in his spare time, enjoys swimming and reading history.

The OMEGA Group is a program through Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. It offers a unique managed money program in which experienced Financial Advisors act as money managers for their clients.
