NATIVE AMERICAN FOCUS

Chippewa Partners is the oldest Native American investment management firm, founded in 1995, with 100% Native American ownership.  Our scholarship for Native American students speaks clearly of our promotion of Native American economic development and empowerment.  Today, for  reservation and urban Native Americans, human capital development is the critical step in building an economic base in Native American communities.

Why should Native Americans do business with Chippewa Partners? We believe that Native American tribes, institutions and individuals should endeavor to cultivate relationships with other Native American businesses that offer high quality, competitive products and services. We know this growth of business enterprise is a positive development for the Native American community.

At Chippewa Partners we are committed to the growth of Native American wealth, even for the generations of Native children yet unborn. The American Indian Trust Fund Reform Act places further responsibility on Native American fiduciaries to make sure that Native American assets are invested prudently with investment management firms and not Wall Street brokerage firms. 

Our philanthropic interests lie in the area of Native American scholarships. The Chairman of Chippewa Partners, Dean T. Parisian has endowed a significant $25,000 scholarship at the University of Minnesota specifically for Native American students in the areas of business, economics and finance.

Please consider this unique and important proposal when considering our professional investment management services.  When managing Native American assets, the firm has a policy of establishing permanent endowment funds that are created with a dedicated percentage of our investment management fees as well as a unique commission recapture program.  This is a very unique and valuable program whereby over 70% of all trading commissions can be rebated to Native American clients to create scholarships for Native Americans students for that specific tribal organization.
