Focused on the long term. Guided by discipline. Grounded in proven investments
First Shelbourne is a single-member advisory firm founded by Christopher Wargas, who decided to start this firm with one goal: to help individuals invest their hard-earned money while controlling risk and keeping fees fair and transparent. Chris is fully licensed, insured, and registered in the state of New York and is a Series 65 holder.
Every investment strategy I build is rooted in time-tested assets and rigorously backtested across decades of market cycles. The goal is simple: Build portfolios with lower volatility and fewer surprises.
Chris holds the CFE® designation and is a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). Individuals who have obtained the CFE credential understand the underlying factors that motivate people to commit fraud and are trained to identify red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk.
