Our Approach

At Chapman, Hope, and Associates, our top priority is understanding each client’s unique vision.  We take the time to ask thoughtful questions about your goals and to listen carefully to you.  Over time, our team employs a disciplined approach to investing and planning that helps bring your goals to fruition.  Throughout the US, we meet in person with our clients at least annually, and also proactively reach out with frequent updates and insights.  We have found that a well-informed client is an empowered and satisfied client.  David Chapman and Julie Hope are certainly able to consult with you regarding daily investment activity, although many of our clients prefer long-term financial strategies to be executed at our discretion.  Our team stays in close touch with each client and with multiple generations of client families in order to help ensure everyone, especially older clients, are well cared for and their resources can be optimally preserved for the future.
