Fort Lauderdale, FL Office

Chapin Davis serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, retirement plans, corporations and other institutions with discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, wrap‑fee programs, financial planning and investment advisory consulting. The firm offers several named wrap programs — Asset Advisor, FundSource, PUMA (Personalized Unified Managed Account) and Private Advisor Network — and also operates a broker‑dealer and an insurance subsidiary that can facilitate brokerage and insurance transactions for clients.

The firm’s approach combines IAR‑led portfolio management with access to third‑party SMA/UMA managers and model allocations, using third‑party research (including Wells Fargo Investment Institute resources and Morningstar) and custodial performance reporting to evaluate managers and monitor accounts; clients can elect client‑directed or discretionary arrangements. Chapin Davis uses a clearing relationship with Wells Fargo Clearing Services for custody and execution and makes performance reporting available to clients (and, in some cases, publishes performance results).

What distinguishes Chapin Davis from many peers is its dual‑capacity structure: it is both an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a registered broker‑dealer with registered representatives, operates more than a dozen offices, and maintains related insurance and outside manager relationships that are described in its Brochure. The firm also discloses regulatory matters resolved with FINRA (including past findings and settlements relating to net capital, recordkeeping and AML/CIP procedures), and it describes supervisory and disclosure practices intended to address the conflicts those arrangements can create.
