Welcome

Our mission is to provide high quality cradle-to-grave investment management advice to a limited number of high-net-worth individuals and families. Over the years, we’ve noticed that all of our clients –– from business owners to academics to large families –– embody an entrepreneurial spirit. They’ve forged their own paths and achieved success on their own terms.

MPD Boston Harbor Wealth Management Group, that entrepreneurial spirit resonates strongly. Each and every day, we pay our respect to the hard work you’ve put in to earn your wealth, by working just as hard to help you protect and grow it for decades to come.

WE GUIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Whether it’s your transition into retirement, a sudden family emergency, a complex business need, or a simple question like “is now the right time to buy a second home?” –– we help you navigate every step of your financial journey. We view ourselves as client advocates. Our job is to filter out the hyperbole and noise endemic to Wall Street and describe strategies specific to each client’s needs and goals. Even if the challenge requires an outside resource, we’ll stay by your side to help make sure the process goes smoothly. Put simply, we’re in your corner. And we always will be.

WE’RE NEVER DONE LEARNING. EVER.
There are always new challenges on the horizon. New opportunities and new risks. That’s why we’re always seeking new ways to enhance our offering. With the world-class resources of Morgan Stanley, we can help you overcome whatever obstacles you and your loved ones face.

OUR FAMILY APPROACH

Nothing is more important than family. But sometimes, nothing can seem more challenging than dealing with family matters, especially when money is involved. With a Family Wealth Director heading our team, we’re able to help you achieve a wide range of legacy goals: whether you’re looking to create a nest egg for your children, support your grandchildren’s college education, or make a charitable impact.
We Offer A Family Perspective
Our team members belong to a wide range of generations, and most of us come from large families ourselves. Here’s why that’s important:
• With “fluency” in the perspectives of different age groups, we can communicate effectively with all members of your family.
• We understand how to navigate complex family dynamics, and moreover we see it as part of our job.
• When we take you on as a client, we truly are making a lifelong commitment to you and your loved ones.
Your Legacy, Your Values
According to recent study, 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation, and 90% by the third. That’s absolutely unacceptable, and it points to a glaring gap in wealth management: financial education. We strive to close that gap by empowering your adult children and grandchildren with an understanding of how to value, manage, and protect money for long-term security.
A Family Commitment
Divorce. Health concerns. A loved one’s passing. These are highly emotional moments in a person’s life. But they can also create complex financial scenarios. With our clients, we often find ourselves starting sentences: “If this were my mother’s money, here’s what I would do.” That’s because we treat our clients like family members. And like family, we are here for you through thick and thin.

About Christopher D. Doucette

Born and raised on the north shore of Massachusetts, Chris didn’t stray far for college and attended Suffolk University in downtown Boston. During his time in school, Chris primarily focused on history, specifically European history, with the intention of one day becoming a professor. Following his graduation in 2004, Chris pivoted away from his scholarly pursuits and began his career as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley – also in downtown Boston. He joined the firm in 2005 and is a co-founder of the MPD Boston Harbor Wealth Management Group an Executive Director and a Senior Portfolio Management Director.

Chris has brought his passion for education into his profession of financial planning, always dedicating a significant amount of time educating his clients both on the economic landscape as well as the capital markets and how they affect their personal financial plan. Chris leads with learning, a skill he developed in school, as he believes that knowledge empowers personal confidence and is the key to financial literacy. While he appreciates the trust his clients have bestowed upon him and his team, Chris will often stress the need for his clients to understand their actions and take ownership in the decision-making process.

When not in the office, Chris prefers to spend time with his family back up on the north shore. His wife, Liz, and two children, Sawyer and Finley, are his world. Baseball, music, mountain biking and cooking keep him busy and are the primary hobbies that he is trying to impart on his kids. And while he may no longer study history, he certainly considers himself a history buff.
