Beth Vulopas, Founder and Managing Principal, Chestnut Street Investment Counsel

Beth Vulopas leverages over 30 years of financial services and banking to grow wealth for clients at Chestnut Street. Prior to the firm's 2019 founding, Vulopas spent over 20 years at Wheatland Advisors independent investment advisory in Lancaster, PA. She began her career at Bank of Lancaster, now PNC, where she spent nearly a decade in roles including management and operations. Vulopas also worked as a personal money manager overseeing the finances of older adults. As a result of working extensively with clients who have varied levels of knowledge about personal finances and investments, clarity and transparency are guiding principles at Chestnut Street. "Knowing what you own - and understanding it - gives you power," states Vulopas. "When you receive your quarterly statement from us you understand exactly what you own, and what you're earning."
