I’m Andrew Charipar, founder of Charipar Wealth Management, proudly based in North Liberty, Iowa. My passion for investing started back in high school when I won a stock-picking contest in my AP finance class—and from that moment, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I went on to study Economics and earn a certificate in Entrepreneurial Management at the University of Iowa (Class of 2015). Right out of school, I joined a small local registered investment advisory (RIA) firm where I spent nearly a decade learning every aspect of the business—trading, financial planning, lead advising, compliance, operations—you name it. That hands-on experience gave me the tools and confidence to launch Charipar Wealth Management with one clear goal: to serve clients with integrity, excellence, and unwavering commitment.
My approach is simple: Outside of my family, my clients are the most important people in the world. Clients are not an interruption to my work—they are my work. I pride myself on building genuine, lasting relationships with the people I serve, and most of my clients become close friends.
I believe in being available—early mornings, late evenings, whenever you need me. Your portfolio will be taken care of before mine. Your questions will be answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. And I only ask a few things in return: honesty, openness, and a shared commitment to your financial goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and child. I’m a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan (fair warning: if the Hawks are playing, I might call you at halftime or after the game). I also enjoy working out and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where I compete a few times a year across the country.
