Investment Philosophy

We know that assets aren’t just a financial byword – they’re what real people use to take care of loved ones and live life on their terms. By knowing your goals and what matters to you, Charpentier Wealth Strategies can design portfolios with purpose and perspective. By keeping you at the center of your financial plan, we are able create investment strategies that are unique to you and your lifestyle.

We believe:

  • There is a slew of financial products that can baffle even the most astute financial practitioners. To us, simplicity defeats complexity. If we cannot understand it and/or cannot explain it in a matter that you understand it, then you should not be investing in it. As Warren Buffet once said, “Never invest in a business you cannot understand.”
  • As life evolves, so should your investment plan. We find it critical to reassess your financial plan along the way, incorporating new goals and lifestyle changes.
  • Investment management must take into account a proactive tax strategy, as it is not necessarily what you earn but what you keep.
