Financial Advisors:
Robert H. Hodge CPA/PFS
Robert Hodge has been a practicing Certified
Public Accountant since 1974. In 1975 he became
a partner in the accounting firm of Farrell, Sullivan,
and Hodge. He was one of the first 150 CPA’s
in the country to earn the designation of Personal
Finance Specialist (PFS). In 1987, Bob began his
own practice, devoted exclusively to tax and personal
financial planning.
In 1990, he co-founded an investment advisory
service primarily utilizing mutual funds as the
basis for investment. In 1997, Bob formed Hodge
Financial Services, LLC., an asset allocation
service that automatically shifts the allocation
between US stock funds, International stock funds
and bond or money market funds. The asset allocation
service uses fundamental and technical analysis
to reduce risk by weighting the portfolio in those
areas of the market where there are opportunities
with limited downside risk. The asset allocation
is designed for conservative investors. Over the
last 4 years, HFS’s service has significantly
outperformed all of the major stock market indices.
Since its founding, HFS has published a monthly
letter to its clients, intended to give clients
an update of what Bob’s current position
was on the various markets. In June 2001, Bob
launched the “Voice of Financial Reason”
newsletter to provide his clients with information
regarding the economy and its effects on the investment
environment. The monthly newsletter has been enthusiastically
received by clients and has become a vital part
of the Company’s service.
