My wife and I have worked with Blue Chip Partners for several years now and we could not be happier with the partnership. They have been instrumental in helping us build and tax optimize our retirement portfolio and have been with us every step of the way before, during and after retirement. Dan Seder, Cody VanderHagen and Hayden Kibbey are highly knowledgeable and can explain even the most complex financial concepts to us in ways that make those concepts clear and understandable. In addition, they are incredibly honest, respectful and trustworthy; which gives us peace of mind when we think about our financial future. We would recommend Blue Chip partners without hesitation.

I don't write many positive reviews, but Blue Chip Partners earned one. I recently decided to consolidate my investment accounts. For years I had accounts at both Morgan Stanley and LPL. I didn't make the decision lightly and went through a pretty thorough process with both of them, plus four other firms I researched. Daniel Seder and Hayden Kibbey at Blue Chip stood out from the start. They asked thoughtful questions, took the time to understand what mattered to us, and while I'm sure it's part of their process, it genuinely felt personal. I'm still early in my journey with Blue Chip, but the follow-up, communication, and professionalism have been outstanding. That's hard to fake, and it's been miles ahead of what I experienced elsewhere. Very happy with the decision.

I had a wonderful experience talking with the team at Blue Chip Partners. Hayden Kibbey and Gina DiGirolamo were incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, taking the time to answer my questions and point me in the right direction, I left both conversations feeling more informed and confident. Dan Seder was an absolute pleasure to talk to as well, his kindness, patience, and genuine helpfulness made a real difference during an important time for me. It's rare to find a team that combines professionalism with such a personal touch. Highly recommend!

We chose to meet with Blue Chip Partners earlier this year after researching financial advisors that offer comprehensive financial, estate, and tax management plans. We were very impressed with the professionalism, attention to our personal goals, transparency, and flexibility Dan Seder and his team provided. Dan and his team members spent time to listen and to understand our long-term financial goals in great detail before preparing a personalized plan, including various scenarios of timelines and options for us. Dan and Emily reviewed the plans thoroughly with us and answered all our questions. We appreciate the prompt communication and follow up, as well as the great team spirit at Blue Chip Partners. Dan and Emily have been amazing to work with and have gained our respect and trust. We are happy to have found the perfect fit for our long-term retirement plan.

I have been a Blue Chip Partners client since 2008, when Dan Seder was just getting started in the business with Robert Steinberg. Over the past 17 years I have seen the business grow in leaps and bounds, and I'm happy to say the same for my investments. Dan and Emily have done an outstanding job managing my investments and retirement planning. Retired for five years now, I am still receiving the same attention to detail and high level of service. Their thoughtful and structured approach to long term investment strategy coupled with their professionalism and responsiveness is hard to beat. I would highly recommend Blue Chip, Dan and Emily if you are looking for personal service with strong technical foundation.

My wife and I have been clients of BCP for 20+ years, and Dan Seder has been our financial advisor during that entire period, and over the last several years Emily Prater has also been added for additional support. The level of support and advice has been exceptional. Our level of confidence is very high. During the past 20 years, there have been periods of volatility in the financial markets. These challenges were managed with positive outcomes. We’ve seen BCP evolve from a small financial group to a full-service financial organization. The credentials and experience of the BCP staff are most impressive and they continue to attract highly qualified and motivated professionals.

I have been working with Blue Chip for two years now, specifically with Dan Seder and Cody VanderHagen. I was referred to Blue Chip by someone who worked in the industry and knew many financial advisors, so the recommendation came from a savvy source. I am impressed by Blue Chip's investment methodology, they seem very diligent about how my money is managed, and they have a structured approach to reduce tax liability. The fee structure is fair and clear of any hidden charges. I have just started working with them on financial planning and their tool and advice is very comprehensive. Dan and Cody have always been generous with their time and helpful with any questions I may have. Highly recommend Blue Chip!

Dan Seder and his team have managed my accounts for over 10 years. I can’t be happier with the service they have given me. They are always available and responsive to my needs. We meet on a regular basis to go over my accounts. They always keep me in the loop. I feel safe having them manage my accounts especially in this volatile market and the uncertainty. I also appreciate that all this is done on a personal level. I would highly recommend Blue Chip Partners.

We have been very pleased with our experience with BCP. At the end of the day, it boils down to trust, and I have the utmost trust that the BCP team led by Dan Seder and Naoko McKelvey are working for our best interests. They are transparent about the decisions they make, and take the time to educate us on these decisions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Top notch service from a great team you can trust. I was recommended by family to Blue Chip a few years ago and have worked with both Dan Seder and Cody Vanderhagen. I am truly impressed with their customer service and ability to help my portfolio grow and mature over time. These guys are a must have on your side!

What is one of your indulgences/splurges?

Rice Krispie Treats. I can easily polish off an entire batch over the course of one day. My family knows this, and often gives me some variation (traditional, chocolate, peanut butter, etc.) as holiday/birthday gifts.

The Price is Right. In fact, my wife and I attended a live show in LA while she was pregnant with our son. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to “Come on down,” but we were seated in the front row! Drew Carey did an excellent job…but Bob Barker will always be my favorite host.

Many of our clients are successful executives who are burning the candle on both ends. Ironically, our busiest clients always seem to be the individuals who respond the fastest to our requests–something I respect tremendously. In a world where life couldn’t be busier, these clients find ways to 1) communicate promptly and 2) get things done. I’ve made it a point to model our client service around these core concepts.
