Who’s working for YOU?

After working for a global brokerage firm, Bryan Trochessett, the founder and managing member of Chandeleur Investment Consulting, LLC, saw that a new model and philosophy in the investment advice industry was needed - a non-sales-based clear committment to investors. Chandeleur was founded in 2006 as a Registered Investment Advisor firm, a fiduciary for its clients. The purpose of Chandeleur is to provide objective investment advice and management for people (and organizations) who want and need it. The market is full... [Read the full story]

Commitment

…for commitment

Chandeleur was born out of a passion to work clearly and exclusively for you, and you alone. It is our desire to stand apart from other financial “advisory” companies by stating clearly in writing that we are fiduciaries for the people we work for. Read More →

Loyalty

…for loyalty

You and/or your organization deserve a relationship with an advisor whose loyalty is completely to you. Many advisors have to balance their desire to do the right thing for you with what the firm that signs their paychecks says. Chandeleur works for you, and does not have to balance who we’re faithful to. A relationship with Chandeleur is characterized by the highest degree of loyalty to you, the client. Read More →

Trust

…for trust

It is clear that trust is “THE” issue when hiring an advisor. What makes an advisor trustworthy? This is a difficult question to answer, but it is worth considering. You may have a good relationship with someone that works in the industry. Many times, though, that person has to operate within a business model that is flawed and characterized by conflicts of interest with you. You owe it to yourself (and employees or anyone else you’re responsible for) to know that there is a better way to get... [Read the full story]

Quality

…for unbiased advice

Chandeleur Investment Consulting, LLC isn’t employed by a fund company, a brokerage firm, an insurance agency, a bank, or any other corporation. This has never been more crucial than in today’s turbulent marketplace. Chandeleur is employed by you, the client. Chandeleur does NOT receive any compensation from anyone other than the client and does NOT receive any transactional based commissions. All advice given is for the best interest of the client, and that alone. How do you define quality? Read More →

Transparency

…for transparency

Don’t fear the fine print. Transparency is a cornerstone on which our business is based. When you hire Chandeleur, you get an advisor who wants you to know what we know. We expose the layers that are often hidden in the financial world. We’re free to tell you what others may not. Active management? Indexing? Proprietary funds? Commissions? Brokers? Share classes? Bonds? Stocks? Mutual funds? Low fees? High fees? Large? Value? Style boxes? Diversification? Wealth managers? What’s... [Read the full story]

...for change

It’s time to change.

If your advisor is not providing what you’ve read about so far, it’s time for a change. Your advisor should work for you. Chandeleur Investment Consulting, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor, works for its clients. Who does your advisor work for? Read More →

401(k) Consulting and Investment Management

YOUR 401(K) SHOULD BE DESIGNED AROUND YOU…NOT AROUND “PAY-TO-PLAY”, HIDDEN PAYMENTS BY FUND COMPANIES TO 401(K) COMPANIES AND SALESMEN. Below: Part II & III of “The Truth Behind Hidden Fees in 401(k)s” video from Bloomberg. (Part I on homepage.)
