Private Wealth Management
At the Charles Day Group, we believe that insightful wealth management is always valuable—but when life is changing, it's more important than ever. As Private Wealth Advisors, we help highly successful families and entrepreneurs plan and invest for their most meaningful goals. Our experience, training and sweeping access to the extensive resources and expertise across all of UBS Private Wealth Management provide us with the clarity and opportunities to manage complex estate, wealth protection and liquidity planning challenges.
What can you expect from your relationship with us? Our advice is straightforward and honest. We make deep emotional connections that are supportive and reassuring. The Charles Day Group makes a long-term commitment to truly advocate for you—particularly during times of transition when your life and wealth are “in motion.” In fact, that's why many of our clients delegate the oversight of their personal finances to us. It's a role we welcome, encourage and strive to earn every day.
Our clients rely on us to deal with what is usually the most stressful part of their lives—their financial world. We embrace that role.
There is nothing more fulfilling than taking care of people. We embrace that role—helping our clients feel understood, supported and confident in the future. To us, there is no better measure of success.
Wherever you are in your life, whether you’re negotiating a difficult divorce, considering that next big step in business or hoping to retire within the next five years, we’ll work with you to provide the right advice, the right plan and the best strategy to help you get there.
The power of Advice. Beyond investing.
With over two decades providing advice, Charles has the knowledge and experience to understand people and their challenges. His emotional connections - as a patient listener and a reliable advocate - are what inspire confidence. As founding partner of a leading UBS Private Wealth team, The Charles Day Group, he delivers comprehensive planning and portfolio management solutions for complex wealth. But beyond their investment needs, his clients often come to him during difficult life transitions. Their needs range from estate planning and mortgage financing to business sale and succession.
“I love the feeling that I’m taking care of people. My clients rely on me to deal with what is usually the most stressful part of their lives. I embrace that role.”
In addition to covering a select group of High Net Worth clients, Charles is responsible for managing the personal portfolios of senior executives at UBS and other Wall Street firms. Previously, he was selected to serve in a similar capacity at Morgan Stanley.
Born and raised in Manhattan, Charles began his career at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then in the office of the mayor of New York City. He spent his first four years after law school as an appellate prosecutor in Brooklyn, then joined a large corporate law firm. Today, as a UBS Managing Director, he combines the skills he honed from his law career to analyze issues, plan, strategize, manage stressful situations and build relationships.
Outside of work, Charles serves as a member of the Board and Treasurer for Women in Need, NYC's largest private provider of shelter for homeless families. He is also a member of the leadership council of The Nature Conservancy, a prominent national environmental group. Charles is a world traveler—50 countries and seven continents. He is an ardent fan of the New York Yankees, Giants and Rangers.
Charles and his wife of 30 years have two adult children.
Paul began his career in Finance in 2008 as an intern. Shortly after graduating from Hofstra University in 2009, he was introduced to Charles and was only supposed to assist him for two weeks. Fast forward, and Paul has spent almost 15 years, his entire career, in wealth management working alongside Charles.
Today, at The Charles Day Group, he focuses primarily on generational wealth planning, investments, and building client relationships. Helping clients meet their needs is always his main focus. Paul assists Charles with asset allocation and portfolio construction and implementation. He is knowledgeable in Structured Products and Alternative Investments.
Paul holds an MBA from New York University and a BBA in Finance from Hofstra University. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor.
“Our team is guided by honesty, integrity and reliability. Those are the values that earn trust and build meaningful relationships. Our clients rely on us for advice and service.”
Many of Paul’s clients and prospects are facing major life transitions—the sale of their business, divorce, retirement, or other significant financial events. The advice he provides goes well beyond the financial and mutual respect allows his clients to speak to him about any concern.

We believe clients rely on us most during some of the most stressful periods of their lives—personally and professionally. We want to be a stabilizing force during these times, but also a source of real advice and solutions that can help you make well-informed decisions—beyond investing—for yourself, your family and your business.
Are your children prepared for the family wealth that will one day be theirs? Our team has the knowledge and experience to help you build a comprehensive estate planning strategy to help protect all you've achieved and comfortably transition those assets to future generations.
Our planning process begins with deep discovery conversations that will fully identify your priorities, goals, concerns and values—all factors that can help prepare the next generation for the responsibilities of carrying on your legacy—and building their own. We'll include your trusted tax and legal advisors to ensure the plan is tailored to your wishes and our recommendations are aligned.
Because family matters most to our clients, we can also work together to facilitate important family meetings where sensitive planning conversations can take place. First and foremost, you’ll find that our advice is based on much more than assets, but on people and how we can work together to help them take care of those they love.
Do I have enough to maintain my lifestyle—and for how long? How will our children’s lives be affected? What happens to their financial future? To our team, one thing is certain: Life begins again after divorce. We'll be by your side every step of that journey, but our first priority is helping you take control of your wealth and build a solid financial infrastructure that eases worry and instills confidence for the road ahead.
With longer life expectancies, couples are divorcing later than ever, putting women who haven’t been involved in financial decisions even further behind in preparing for solo financial life. Whatever your age, no matter how challenging divorce may be, don't underestimate the power of knowledge, advice and a team that is on your side. Working with us, you will have the resources you need to make a fresh start.
Property and assets
We'll help you sort through the many planning issues that may arise as you make these important decisions.
Retirement funds
It's likely that your most substantial asset, besides your home or business, is your retirement fund. Money in either spouse's 401(k) or pension plan may legally be divided during a divorce. We'll help you clarify ownership of those assets and align the best strategy for your long-term goals.
Your balance sheet
We'll look at both sides of your balance sheet, what you own and what you owe, to help you make long-term planning decisions.
The family business
A family business tends to be the most valuable asset of a marriage. Typically, it is also inherently illiquid. That means that it is difficult to divide in a divorce. Up to 90% of businesses in the United States are family businesses.1 With divorce rates so high, it should be no surprise that if protective steps are not taken in advance, divorce can result in not just the breakup of the family but also of the family business.
Estate planning strategies
Be sure to review your will and all of your beneficiary designations, including life insurance, retirement account and other documents. We'll work with you and your estate planning attorney to review estate tax laws and amend your estate planning strategy accordingly.

Should I sell or pass it on? Do our children even want the business? The decision to step back from your business or to exit completely is rarely simple. It’s never too soon to get advice from those who understand the issues you’re facing and can guide you each step of the way.
Every day we work with business owners and their families as they take their companies through transition events—whether through succession or sale. Our early involvement in your transaction enables us to engage all of the resources needed to prepare your business, maximize the value of the event, but also help you prepare the next generation for taking the reins. Our focus is to help you confidently pursue your life’s goals post-sale. To help inform our recommendations about deal structure, valuation opportunities and tax considerations, we’ll coordinate with our network of both third-party and UBS experts in:
