GEORGE JAMES ASSOCIATES

In 2019, my paper, "Victim Characteristics of Investment Fraud" won the best paper award in risk management and insurance at the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards' Academic Research Colloquium... My journey began in 2011 when my wife and I were pregnant with our first child. I was ABD in a dead-end distance education doctoral program in Philosophy. With no career opportunities in sight, I embarked upon a long expedition in financial services where I operated as a broker for one year. Unimpressed with my progress, I began an MBA program in financial planning, moving in the direction of a comprehensive financial planner. Today, I write holistic financial plans and conduct cutting-edge research in financial advisor misconduct, specifically fraud and financial elder abuse... George James Associates is a site that discusses sophisticated techniques that make up a comprehensive financial plan. It also explains the latest research in finance and financial planning.
