Verified Identity

Important Disclosures

Allow me to introduce myself
Before founding Flax Pond Capital, Chris served as a Managing Director working on the Pew Charitable Trust’s investment portfolio ($6+ billion) managed by Glenmede Trust Company where he started in 2008 as a Senior Investment Analyst and was promoted to Portfolio Manager - Pew Trusts in 2012. Responsibilities included: Idea generation, manager / investment due diligence, asset allocation, and overall portfolio management. At Flax Pond, we specialize in serving people who understand that money is an important part of life but who are uninterested in—or unable to devote the necessary time to—their investments and prudent financial planning. Academics, teachers, physicians, and nonprofit leaders are among our best clients. Chris is married to the photographer Jessica Todd Harper. They have four children and reside outside Philadelphia on the Main Line. Chris grew up on Flax Pond, located on Cape Cod, where he learned to love biking, sailing and hiking. He graduated from Falmouth Public Schools and worked after school and summers as a lab technician for the Geology and Geophysics department of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution which enabled him to go on numerous scientific research cruises including voyages to Bermuda, Gulf of Maine, Iceland, Tahiti, Antarctica and Chile. Chris continues to love the water and sails regularly in the Chesapeake Bay and Cape Cod.
