The Schell Group
Welcome

“Clients are driven to succeed and we’re driven to provide value,” Chris Schell explains. “Our process begins before investments are ever discussed. And our efforts extend to enhancing distinct areas of a client’s financial picture – from the company they built, to the concentrated stock they hold, to the retirement lifestyle they envision. Appreciating a client’s concerns and aspirations is the cornerstone of the wealth management experience we deliver to clients.” image

About Us
Philosophy

"For long-term portfolio growth, we focus on valuations and whether investments should be owned. We also favor sectors moving 'above the trend' sourced from the firm's top-ranked global research analysts. Finally, we're mindful of diversification, cost and tax efficiencies – and may include bonds and ETFs" –given our extensive experience managing tax-free municipal bond portfolios," Chris points out.
