Chris Sifuentes
President
Born too poor for a middle name, Chris 'no middle name' Sifuentes recognized early in his career that while everyone comes from a different financial circumstance, with the right knowledge anyone can learn how to get to where they want to go. Chris began working with clients in 1987 but when faced with continued limitations on what products he was permitted to offer his clients he decided to start his own firm. Years later, Chris would welcome his son, Adam Sifuentes, into the family business. Together they teach their clients that with the right tools, you can put your money to work and help reach your financial goals.

Top Questions
Is it too early or late to start saving and planning?
It’s never too early to start planning for your financial future. Many of our client’s children begin working with us the moment they enter college or the workforce.
Starting to save for retirement late can create challenges, however, it’s not too late to get help navigating those challenges with someone that knows the terrain.
What will it cost?
There are several ways investors can be charged in the financial industry. The two most common methods are fee based or sales charge/commission based. With a fee-based advisor, your accounts are continually charged a fee that is based on the total value of the account. As your account grows, so does your fee.
At CNS Securities, we work directly with investment and insurance companies, cutting out the middleman, to bring you quality products with an upfront sales charge. With the cost upfront, you pay on your initial purchase and any new money you add to your account. This way your investments can grow unencumbered by a recurring advisor fee. For long term investors, the upfront sales charge is by far the most cost effective.
Additionally, the upfront sales charge features breakpoints that provide discounts on the sales charge. This way, the more money you accumulate, the more cost effectively you can invest in the market.
