About Christopher Opie

British born and raised, Oxford alumnus, US resident, politics & technology watcher, husband, father, and advisor to my private investment clients who share the many complexities that accompany a life lived across borders. I grew up in Winchester, England, in an entrepreneurial and multilingual household. My mother and father taught me the value of hard work, money, and the importance of discipline, prudence, and risk-taking. I’ve always had an explorer’s mentality, which I’ve embraced through my career choices and travel opportunities. My move to New York in 2010, and marriage to my American wife in 2014, brought a personal perspective to the challenges I had long observed in my work: while my clients are blessed with great fortune, they are also burdened by the complexity that accompanies it. This complexity is magnified by the international lives they lead, spending their time in multiple countries, with family members pursuing their ambitions globally. Today, I am pursuing my ambition of delivering a global investment advisory business for clients of great wealth, and great complexity. As a leader of our Global Families practice, I also work closely with my colleagues nationally as they seek to advise cross-border families where they call home. I also lead Bernstein\'s team in the Washington, D.C. area. Washington continues to grow rapidly as a global meeting place for capital, enterprise IT, biotech, public policy, diplomacy and philanthropy. As Washington evolves, so does our Bernstein team and we\'re proud to offer customised advice, as fiduciaries, to this dynamic community.SPECIALTIES: Asset Allocation | Multigenerational Wealth Transfer | Pre-Transaction Planning | Philanthropy | Cross-Border Families | International Clients | Business Owners | Single Family Offices
