Your evolving life and wealth

Private Wealth Management

Brooklyn Bridge

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.

- Charles Day

Our investment in the lives of our clients

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.

    Empathy inspires confidence

    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 16 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.
