Passion for Work, Intellectual Curiosity, Collaboration, & Respect for All
These core values are the foundation of our firm; they unite our team and fuel our mission to deliver the most creative, unbiased, and responsible solutions in the financial advisory industry.
At Chartwell, we have a passion for our professional life and all it offers. We seek to think creatively and learn deeply. We believe skillful, original thinking by a diverse team with complementary skills is the most effective way to produce superior results for our clients and our firm. We believe a respectful, supportive environment where people can learn, grow, and do the best work of their lives together is crucial.
To develop such an environment, we believe it is important to provide opportunities for our employees to support their personal passions, to give back to our local communities…and to have fun! Over the years, our employees have started various committees inspired by our core values. The committees enable us to expand our collaborative efforts beyond client work, with the goal of providing a richer experience for Chartwell employees and ideally making the world a little better place to live.

TESTIMONIALS
Chartwell Experiences
—IAN JOHNSON
“Chartwell’s recent conversations about social matters challenged us to think of DEI issues in our daily work and lives. This hit home when thinking about the end beneficiaries of our work with employee-owned businesses: not the C-suite, but the frontline workers on manufacturing floors or construction sites, akin to those who shaped my upbringing and community. Growing up in a small Minnesota town, the primary form of diversity I encountered was socioeconomic, and this further strengthens my connection to Chartwell's mission. It means a lot to me to lift up the diverse workers of our clients, thereby contributing to a more equitable and inclusive world.”
