This is My Profession: Christopher M. Brown, CFP®

March 2, 2015 by

Christopher M. Brown, CFP®
Managing Partner and President, Houston Asset Management

How have you tailored your profession as a financial planner to fit your personal agenda?

“I take a little bit different strategy when meeting my clients. Many clients find our office intimidating, as well as, the drive for many of our clients is difficult. This year, I’ve made a big effort to go to the client’s house and sit around their kitchen table and kinda go back old school. I also leave the suit and tie at the office and I try to be as personable as possible. I’m finding that that investment is developing better long-term relationships and making that money stickier.”

Christopher’s career with Houston Asset Management began in the summer of 1998 as a college intern.  After earning a B.S. in Economics with a Business minor from Texas A&M University, Christopher returned to Houston Asset Management in September 2003.  He has since gone on to complete the University of St. Thomas financial planning program. In January 2014, Christopher became a managing partner and President of Houston Asset Management.

Christopher became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practioner in 2006.  He is a Registered Representative with SagePoint Financial, Inc., a registered broker/dealer firm, member of FINRA and SIPC.  Christopher also carries his life, accident, health, and HMO insurance license and offers fixed and traditional insurance through Investment Marketing Resources, LP, not affiliated with SagePoint Financial, Inc.  Christopher is currently a member of the Financial Planning Association and the Financial Services Institute.
