Tired of trusting your bank with your investments?

A private wealth manager can help. 

Independent & Fiduciary Wealth Advisors

We serve our clients as independent, fee-only fiduciaries. An independent financial advisor is one that cannot receive commissions from recommending investments, and a fiduciary financial advisor is one who always and only acts in the best interests of their clients. Chicago Partners is compensated by charging a fee, or percentage of assets under management (AUM).

We believe great client-advisor relationships are built on trust. It's why we stay entirely transparent about our fees, our recommendations, and our processes.
