CRD Number: 5283015
Current Firm: Catalina Capital Group, LLC

Chris Frantz (CRD# 5283015) is an Investment Advisor Representative working at Catalina Capital Group, LLC in Torrance, CA and has over 8 years of experience in the finance industry.

 

Chris Frantz is our Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager. Chris began his investment management career at the former Citi Smith Barney branch of downtown La Jolla, CA. Over the years, the firm had morphed from Citi Smith Barney, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, to what is now just Morgan Stanley. Through this unstable time period, Chris was able to build and maintain a base of high-net-worth clientele, endowments & foundations, institutional and corporate clients.

He later took his practice to downtown Los Angeles where he was part of a large brokerage team that focused heavily on trading and syndicate business. The team also managed money for many high-net-worth clients, which has come to be his primary avenue of business. At Morgan Stanley and its predecessor firms, Chris consistently received accolades for being at the top of his peer group. He also achieved the Financial Planning Specialist designation and has worked with several families in this regard.

In addition to investment management, Chris built his business through lending. In a period of historically low interest rates, he figured he could best serve his clients by financing and refinancing their business and personal debt. In a 12-month period, Chris facilitated over $100 million in lending through Citi and Morgan Stanley. For calendar year 2010, he originated the most mortgage loans in the entire company.

About Wealthminder

Wealthminder was created for one simple reason: To help people get the financial assistance they need to achieve their long-term financial goals.

Wealthminder is a database derived from SEC.gov data covering every Investment Advisor Representative in the country. We work hard to collect and provide you the information you need to find a financial advisor who’s right for you.

Finding a Financial Advisor through Wealthminder

Historically finding and hiring a financial advisor was hard. Wealthminder was built to make the process much easier.

The best way to use Wealthminder is to take advantage of our free proposal system. All you have to do is take a few minutes of your time to describe your situation and the assistance you are looking for.

Wealthminder then sends your request to our network of prescreened financial advisors. If a financial advisor is interested in your business, they will submit a proposal to you.

You review the proposals you receive and decide if you’d like to have a follow-up call with one or more of the financial advisors.

Throughout the process, you maintain control. We only share your contact information with a financial advisor once you ask for an introduction.
