About

Crawford Investment Counsel provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to a broad client mix that includes individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), registered investment companies, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, municipalities, Taft‑Hartley plans, corporations and other business entities. Its services are delivered through traditional separately managed accounts, wrap‑fee programs, model‑based programs and by acting as investment adviser to several mutual funds.

The firm employs a bottom‑up, value‑oriented approach with a pronounced emphasis on dividend‑paying, higher‑quality companies across its equity strategies and a credit‑focused, diversification‑oriented approach for fixed‑income mandates. Portfolio management is continuous and typically discretionary, with distinct strategies (e.g., Dividend Growth, Dividend Yield, Core, Small Cap, SMID, Managed Income, Intermediate Core and Municipal bond strategies) that are implemented by the investment team and can accommodate client‑imposed restrictions.

Distinctive aspects of Crawford relative to many multi‑team peers include its role as adviser to multiple registered investment companies and its explicit servicing of municipal and other institutional clients. The firm also makes performance‑based fee arrangements available on an exception basis for qualified clients and routinely participates as a sub‑advisor in wrap programs and in referral networks, which can influence custody and brokerage arrangements.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
