A seasoned investment manager, Chris Hanrahan amassed more than 20 years’ experience at some of Wall Street’s most prestigious asset management firms, managing more than $500 million at the institutional level. During that time, he spent numerous years interacting with senior management teams of large, public companies— experience that consequently offers Chevelon clients a completely distinguished approach to investment analysis and selection. Additionally, Chris is a formally trained fundamental research analyst with a proven proficiency in financial statement scrutiny and quality of earnings deficiencies. He received his MBA in Finance from New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Arizona, majoring in Finance.
Chevelon was incepted when Chris noticed how it was becoming common industry practice to place clients in standard, cookie-cutter portfolios that demonstrated a high degree of asset cross-pollination coupled with excess fees. In other words, most individuals were being placed in portfolios that roughly owned the same stocks and index related products as their peers, irrespective of the fact that each individual possessed varying preferences, tastes, and objectives. Moreover, many of these investment products were laden with excess fees. Chris knew he could do better for his clients not only by applying his noteworthy experience to create customized investment solutions, but also by applying his ethos and integrity to create lasting relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
