Makes all the difference

Christopher Black

Managing Director–Wealth Management

Private Wealth Advisor

Chris understands how to simplify the complexity of today’s global markets for his clients through clear, actionable strategies. He believes in building confidence by providing access to the firm’s deep resources and by bringing clients together through informative networking groups.

 

“My focus has always been on running a first-class business in a first class way. What gives our clients a clear sense of confidence is our knowledge, insights and transparency.”

 

As the founding partner of Black/Huthnance, a Private Wealth Management team at UBS, Chris focuses on portfolio management oversight through thoughtful allocation of liquidity and risk across asset classes and markets. However, his advice focuses on much more than investing—from estate planning strategies and family advisory to lending and private equity.
