Christopher "Kit" L. Johnson, CFP^®, CRPC
Senior Vice President
Wealth Management Advisor

After working in Boston as a mutual fund wholesaler for a major fund company, Kit joined his father, Bob, and brother, Ben, at The Johnson Group in 2005.

For more than a decade, Kit has bolstered and formalized the group’s holistic, planning-based approach. To account for “what is and what may be” in clients’ lives, Kit devotes his efforts to fully understanding each client's professional and personal needs, concerns, priorities, and family dynamics before ever making a recommendation.

Through ongoing communication with both spouses (whenever possible), Kit provides risk management, retirement, and legacy planning, as well as cash flow and other analyses. A strong believer in educating clients, Kit finds that clients who play a role in developing their strategies are far more likely to follow a wise financial course.

Kit is a lifetime learner whose ongoing industry training allows him to assist clients with “best practices” as their lives evolve. He holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^™, CFP^® certification from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards and the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, CRPC^TM designation from the College for Financial Planning Institutes Corp.

Kit is also a qualified Portfolio Advisor who, in addition to providing traditional advice and guidance, can help clients pursue their investment objectives by recommending individual, or any combination of, Merrill or approved third-party investment managers’ strategies, funds or portfolios.

Kit holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Pennsylvania State University. As part of his degree program, Kit completed a portion of his economics studies at The University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Generous with his time and resources, Kit is an active Trustee on the Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation Board. Through the Board and the hospital’s Gerhard Society, Kit helps raise awareness of Bryn Mawr Hospital as one of the nation’s outstanding community hospitals. 

A loyal Nittany Lions football fan, Kit and his family (wife, Michelle, and their three children) travel to at least one “away game” each season – preferably, a championship game. Kit and his crew also enjoy several outdoor sports, venturing out west, skiing anywhere, and fly-fishing on the “Frying Pan” in Colorado. Back home, the family resides in St. Davids, Pennsylvania.
