In this episode, I interview CEO and Portfolio Manager Jenny Harrington, a dividend investor, author, and regular contributor to CNBC (Halftime Report and Worldwide Exchange). We talk about dividend investing, how to get started, how to become a confident investor, and how to navigate the current economic climate.
Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington is the Chief Executive Officer of Gilman Hill Asset Management, LLC, an income-focused, boutique investment management firm located in New Canaan, CT.
Ms. Harrington also serves as Portfolio Manager of the firm’s flagship Equity Income strategy, which she created and has managed since its inception. In this capacity, she is responsible for an equity portfolio with a mandate of generating a 5% or higher aggregate annual dividend yield, with additional potential for capital appreciation.
Ms. Harrington has over twenty-five years of investment experience. Prior to joining Gilman Hill in 2006, she was a Vice President in Private Wealth Management at Neuberger Berman where she originated the Equity Income strategy that she manages today at Gilman Hill. Previously, Jenny began her Wall Street career as an Analyst in Goldman Sachs’ Private Client Services group, where she worked with high net worth individuals and families in a variety of investment capacities. She subsequently worked as an Associate in Goldman’s Investment Management division, where she served as a strategic liaison for the Investment Banking Division.
A sought-after expert on dividend investing, Ms. Harrington is a contributor on CNBC, where she regularly appears on the Halftime Report and Worldwide Exchange. She is also regularly quoted in major business publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s.
