Christopher John "CJ" Newton II, CFP

Financial Advisor

CJ joined UBS in 2013 while at Clemson University pursuing his BS in Finance. After graduating in 2014, CJ teamed with Chris to form the Newton Group so that he could continue helping clients achieve their financial goals. CJ's focus is on the Financial Goal Analysis™ program – a very comprehensive report offering clients a complete picture of their financial plan before and during retirement years. As an important part of the planning process, CJ and Chris spend time with clients and their families to get to know each individual's goals and objectives. CJ then develops the plan and reviews the analysis so that each client may take comfort in and understand their financial and retirement picture.

CJ is also a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and is trained on retirement, estate planning, and investment strategies. He is responsible for implementing and monitoring the team's trading in individual stock positions that focus on dividend and growth stocks. He is passionate about helping clients and focuses on bringing forth the vast resources of UBS and his knowledge as a CFP® practitioner to each client relationship.

CJ lives in Simpsonville and very much enjoys traveling and exploring new places with his wife, and high school sweetheart, Mallory.
