Matthew Garrott, CIMA
Director, Investment ResearchAs Director of Investment Research, my work centers on helping Fairway make informed, disciplined investment decisions. I steer the agenda for our Investment Committee, lead due diligence on money managers, and conduct ongoing investment research to support portfolio construction across the firm. I also author investment commentary, translating complex market and portfolio topics into clear insights that help clients understand what is happening and why it matters.
A significant part of my role involves evaluating investment managers and strategies, asking the right questions, and digging into the details that influence long-term outcomes. What I enjoy most is finding thoughtful answers to the questions clients have about their investments and helping bring clarity to an increasingly complex investment landscape.
I joined Fairway in 2006 and hold the Certified Investment Management Analyst designation. Our manager research and analysis are supported by tools such as YCharts, which allow us to analyze data efficiently and apply it in practical, decision-focused ways.
I live in Avon Lake with my wife and our two sons. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family, especially being outdoors and attending summer baseball games. Most mornings start with a cup of coffee, usually enhanced with a shot of espresso.
