About

Charter Research & Investment Group serves primarily high-net-worth individuals and families, with a client mix that includes pre‑retirees, retirees and seniors. The firm provides discretionary investment management and integrated financial planning for trust, retirement and brokerage accounts, managing approximately $275 million in client assets and tailoring portfolios to each client’s stated objectives and risk tolerance.

The firm describes a bottom‑up investment process that combines fundamental, qualitative and technical analysis, emphasizes individual equity and fixed‑income positions, and relies on asset allocation and diversification as primary drivers of portfolio outcomes. It may use no‑load mutual funds or ETFs for non‑correlated exposure, applies select stops on positions with high implied volatility, and (as disclosed in its filings) employs derivatives in separately managed accounts as part of its risk‑management toolkit.

Notable features relative to peers include a fee‑only, discretionary‑only advisory model and a practice of generally serving households with at least $750,000 in investable assets. The firm also documents a preference for individually managed securities over pooled vehicles and discloses reliance on institutional custodian services and related operational arrangements that can affect execution and reporting.
