What Our Clients Say

It is to my great fortune to have met Chad Waters 7 years ago! My husband and I signed up with Chad to manage our portfolio. When Chad started his new business, Trifecta Wealth Management, we were all too happy to follow him, and Heather St. Amour, Trifecta's Branch Operations Manager. We trust them for our financial management and peace of mind, and whenever I call, the phone is answered immediately or I'm called back within minutes. It's so wonderful learning from Chad's expertise if I have a question or concern, he is so knowledgeable. I have recommended Trifecta to all of my friends and family. We are extremely satisfied clients!

My wife and I have worked with Chad Waters for 10 years since he knocked on my door a year before our retirement. Usually I shoo away people selling services but there was something about Chad that made me want to hear what he had to say. In our experience Chad and Heather have always had our best interests at heart. I find that they are always available. They have our absolute trust with our money for our financial plan and retirement savings. We look forward to a continued relationship with Trifecta Wealth Management, LLC.

Chad Waters and Heather St. Amour of Trifecta Wealth Management are a wealth of knowledge and they are always well prepared for our quarterly meetings. They are very patient with our questions and always provide knowledgeable answers. They always provide a great long-term plan and always take into account our risk tolerance. They always stay in touch and respond to our emails or phone calls in a timely manner. If my wife or I do not understand something they explain it in simple terms.
