Kenneth W. “Chip” Jamerson, Jr., QPFC

A seasoned industry veteran, Chip is a Financial Planning Specialist and Financial Advisor at The Telos Group, a highly skilled advisory team with offices in Richmond and Charlottesville. With nearly 30 years of financial services experience, Chip focuses on meeting the needs and goals of individuals and families who have accumulated a higher level of wealth. He empowers clients to achieve long-term financial security through a personalized approach to financial planning and investment management.

Born and raised by a police officer and nurse in Spout Spring, VA, Chip always had sights on a career that would make a positive difference on others. After earning his degree in American Studies at Virginia Military Institute and Stetson University, Chip had a successful career in corrugated packaging and display sales prior to becoming a Financial Advisor at Legg Mason (now Morgan Stanley). Working closely with his clients, he learned firsthand the power of holistic financial planning when life events like a spouse passing away or a family member transitioning to a nursing home occurred. The financial planning he had done years before with his clients made a significant difference as their lives evolved. Today, when Chip considers becoming a vocational deacon in his Church (another passion of his), he is reminded that the work he does as a Financial Advisor is his ministry.

After working as a Financial Advisor for 15 years, Chip took on a new challenge at the firm and went into management in 2007. For the next 14 years, he would hold a number of important roles at Morgan Stanley, including National Development Officer, Business Development Manager, Branch Manager and Associate Complex Manager. In 2021, Chip’s career went full circle and he returned to his roots as an Advisor. There was only one team with whom he wanted to work: The Telos Group. Having admired their process and concerns for their clients for years, he knew they would be a good fit and complement to his practice. He has been an invaluable member of the team ever since.

Chip’s desire to help others is equaled only by his dedication to his family and his community. He and his wife, Carol, have been married 45 years and have two grown children and four beautiful grandchildren. Chip is a member of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, where he serves as a volunteer with the Farmer’s Market and other outreach activities. He is a former Senior Warden of the Vestry at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Lynchburg, VA. He is also a former President of the Board of the Interfaith Outreach Association. Chip has also served as a US Swimming official throughout the Mid-Atlantic area and was on the board of the E C Glass High School Athletics Boosters.

Outside of the office, Chip enjoys long walks with his two-year old Lab, Wally. He also has a renewed love (and hate) relationship with the game of golf. He has an eclectic appreciation for reading and music and relishes the opportunities to go fly fishing for trout in the mountains.
