Crawford Investment Counsel, Inc. is an investment firm located in Atlanta, GA. We have been a registered investment advisor under the Securities and Exchange Act since inception. Our investment firm manages fully discretionary common stock, bond and balanced portfolios. All portfolios are individually managed in accordance with client objectives. For its services, Crawford Investment Counsel receives a fee based upon assets under management and executes securities transactions through outside brokerage firms. This places the firm’s primary interest in growing a client’s asset base, and aligns the objectives of both parties. Furthermore, the corporation is 100% employee owned with no outside affiliation which further reduces any potential conflicts of interest.

The investment firm was established in 1980 by John H. Crawford in an effort to create an environment for investing which would promote independent thought, allow for objective decision making and encourage personalized service. Currently, the firm manages over $2 billion in assets. Clients include private investors, public funds, foundations and endowments, Taft-Hartley and retirement plans.

The investment discipline is value based, emphasizes fundamental research and focuses on long-term decision making. Portfolios are constructed to earn above-average returns while subjecting clients to below-average levels of risk. The firm strives to engage in long-standing relationships, provides a high level of client service and gives individualized attention to each portfolio.
