Chatsworth Securities LLC is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer under SEC File No. 8-49199 and is a FINRA member firm operating under CRD No. 40804. Its broker-dealer activities include investment banking, mergers and acquisitions advisory, private placements, and corporate finance, provided to institutional clients and qualified investors. The background of the firm and its registered representatives can be verified through FINRA BrokerCheck.
Chatsworth Securities LLC is also registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. This registration is narrow in scope and does not reflect a traditional asset-management business. Specifically:
The firm's adviser registration supports limited advisory activities incidental to its corporate finance and capital markets practice and should not be interpreted as an offer of retail investment management.
Chatsworth Securities LLC is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). SIPC membership provides limited protection to customers in the event that a member broker-dealer fails financially. SIPC does not protect against a decline in the market value of securities and is not the equivalent of FDIC deposit insurance. Because Chatsworth Securities does not custody client assets, client cash and securities are not held by the firm. Further information is available at www.sipc.org.
Chatsworth Securities LLC operates as an institutional investment bank. Its services are directed to companies, boards, sponsors, institutional investors, and qualified investors. The firm does not solicit or serve retail investors as wealth-management or portfolio-management clients, does not exercise discretionary trading authority, and does not take custody of client cash or securities. Nothing on this page or elsewhere on this website constitutes investment advice, an offer to buy or sell, or a solicitation of any security.
