Christopher J. Steward
Professional Experience
For over a decade Christopher Steward worked closely with hundreds of individuals and families running a Financial Planning practice with Ameriprise Financial before setting out on his own to make a mark in the industry. In 2016 he founded Steward Capital, a boutique Financial Advisory firm focused on providing tailored financial solutions. Christopher now has over 20 years of experience advising clients.
Recognizing that many Financial Advisory firms have become highly commoditized and lack any specializations or differentiation, Christopher sought out and partnered with Legacy Group Capital, a reputable real estate-based firm in Bellevue with an excellent investment track record. His partnership with Legacy Group Capital has allowed him to provide his clients with unique private investment opportunities in addition to traditional wealth management investments available through the public markets.
Christopher's leadership has positioned both Steward Capital and Legacy Group Capital as trusted partners for individuals and businesses seeking financial opportunity and access to exclusive private deals.
Private Life
Born and raised in Issaquah, Christopher now resides in Bellevue along with his wife Yen and his two children who attend Bear Creek. Christopher remains actively involved in the Eastside community, supporting local causes and initiatives that shape the direction of King County.

Samuel Stanus-Ghib
Professional Experience
After college Samuel began his investment career at Ameriprise Financial in 2011 where he worked for Christopher Steward as a Paraplanner. This involved helping Advisors gather client data and research investment options for Financial Planning clients. In the evenings Samuel would work as a Bookkeeper and IT Specialist for Lam’s Seafood Market, an independent grocery store in Seattle that was owned by Christopher’s wife, Yen, at the time.
When the grocery store was sold in 2016, Samuel began working with Christopher Steward full-time at Steward Capital. Samuel currently heads Operations and Equity Research at Steward Capital. In addition to equities, Samuel works on underwriting and financing multi-family apartments. Samuel now has 14 years of industry experience and is currently working to attain the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.
Private Life
Born in Chechiș, Romania, Samuel emigrated to New York and then Chicago as child during the 1989 Romanian Revolution. After a long cross-country road trip, his family settled down in Kirkland, Washington where he spent his childhood. Samuel and his six siblings were raised by his mother after his father passed away in 1993 from cancer. As the second oldest, Samuel helps support his family.
