• Christopher M. Lussier, CFP®, ChFC®, CPFA®, CEPA

    Vice President, Investments

Most successful people spend their valuable time focusing intently on creating and building wealth, but oftentimes managing that wealth and success can be daunting, laborious, and distracting from one's career and family time. Chris recognizes this in his clients and works hard every day on their behalf, providing them with more time and mental capacity to focus on what truly matters, their families and careers. That objective has naturally allowed Chris to specialize his thriving practice to work with Healthcare Professionals, Corporate Executives, and Business Owners.

As a Certified Financial Planner™ professional, Chris has completed the rigorous CFP® certification process, has agreed to abide by the CFP board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility and Rules of Conduct which put clients' interests first, and continues to meet ongoing certification renewal requirements.

As a Chartered Financial Consultant®, Chris has completed extensive coursework in advanced applications of financial planning, focusing heavily on unique situations like buying or selling a company or medical practice, the challenges confronting modern families, and intergenerational wealth transfer and estate planning obstacles facing high net worth families and business owners.

He attended Bryant University, Smithfield, Rhode Island, where he received a dual Bachelor of Science in International Business in 2010 with concentrations in both Management and Finance. Then, in 2011, Chris began his career in wealth management when he joined The ELM Wealth Management Group at UBS Financial Services, working there until 2015 when he and his team joined Raymond James.

Chris was raised in Spencer, Massachusetts. Today, he and his wife, Farrah, live on a farm in Cumberland, Rhode Island. They have three daughters, Juliette, Coralie, & Isabelle as well as their several family dogs. For fun and relaxation, Chris enjoys spending time with family and friends, travel, movies, audio books, and especially playing golf and pickleball.

Chris was named to the 2023 edition of the AdvisorHub’s list of 50 Next-Gen Advisors to Watch† and the 2024 AdvisorHub 100 Next Gen Advisors to Watch††.
