Chris Mcrae

Partner, Clearpath Financial Financial Planner, RJFS

From a young age, Chris followed the markets with curiosity, recognizing that behind every rise and fall were real lives and futures taking shape.

That early interest evolved into a career devoted to helping clients make thoughtful financial decisions grounded in clearly defined goals. Chris believes that sound financial planning begins with understanding what matters most and building a disciplined strategy designed to support those priorities over time. His approach emphasizes long-term perspective, careful research and steady guidance through changing markets.

A graduate of the University of Alabama with a degree in international business, Chris began his career in financial services in 2008 with Morgan Keegan and joined Raymond James in 2013 following the firm’s merger. He holds Series 7 and 66 securities licenses as well as life insurance licenses.

Chris believes the true strength of Clearpath Financial lies in the relationships the team has built over the years. He values collaboration, open communication and the trust that develops when clients feel heard and understood.

Originally from a family with roots in San Antonio, Texas, Chris grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, where he continues to live with his wife, Emily, and their four daughters. Outside the office, he enjoys coaching Louisville Tennis and cheering his daughters on at soccer games.


“Markets will always move. What matters most is having a steady plan and a team you trust guiding you through every season.”
