Barnett Capital Management

 

I'm Chip. I oversee all aspects of investment strategy at Barnett Capital Management LLC. I work directly with clients to construct and manage portfolios tailored to meet their investment objectives. Shepherding your nest egg is something I take seriously, but I also enjoy explaining what my ideas are and what all of the options are that are available to you. Let's make growing your portfolio educational and a little fun!

​

Prior to founding BCM in 2006, I was a Director with Dearborn Partners in Chicago. In addition to individual and institutional client portfolio management responsibilities, I served on the firm's investment committee, and led a successful effort to restructure the firm's institutional model portfolio. This is where I first got serious about the power of low-cost index funds and the advantages of diversifying across major asset classes.

​

What seems like ancient history now, but was equally formative, was starting my career in 1997 with Stein Roe & Farnham, which would become a part of Bank of America in 2003. My experience there included co-managing a $700 million mutual fund and an incubator hedge fund, and managing individual and institutional client accounts.

 

After college, I spent a year in Moscow, Russia as a Manager of Finance and Administration for a dealership of General Motors' Opel subsidiary.

​

I earned a MBA from the University of Chicago and a BA from Marquette University. While attending Marquette, I studied abroad for a year at the London School of Economics.
