Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good fit to work with your firm?

Our clients have a wide range of investable assets and net worth and work in many different industries. While we do not maintain a set ‘minimum’ of investable assets to work together, we work with clients who either have already accumulated substantial assets or are very committed to doing so. We do have a ‘no jerks’ policy which means a pleasant attitude and professional partnership is required regardless of asset level.

If you think we can help, please feel free to reach out and we will discuss your specific situation.

Who should I contact with questions?

Send an email to info@wendellcharles.com and we will route it to the appropriate team member and reach out to you promptly.

You can also call our main office line and our team will ask a few questions and then route you to the appropriate team member.

Can we meet in person, Zoom, or both?

We offer quarterly in-person meetings in the Los Angeles area, Chicago, and Davenport, Iowa. All other meetings are held virtually via Zoom.

Can Wendell Charles help with my taxes and insurance coverage?

Yes, through our strategic partnerships with the Wendell Charles family of companies, our clients have access to tax preparation and filing as well as property and casualty insurance. Additional costs apply.
