Chauner Securities, Inc.

Chauner Securities, Inc. is a boutique broker-dealer specializing in the structuring and distribution of alternative investments, primarily direct-participation real estate and energy programs. Founded in 1985 by Frank B. Chauner, the firm is based in Northbrook, Illinois, and operates as a non-carrying broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA. Its primary business is the structuring and marketing of private real estate securities rather than a broad general-securities retail book.

Since 1985 the firm has provided managing broker-dealer services to real estate sponsors raising capital through private placement offerings in the retail channel. That work can include document preparation, due diligence, deal structure, securities regulation and compliance, marketing support, and post-close investor relations. CSI also partners with independent securities professionals focused on real estate and energy alternatives, including unaffiliated registered investment advisors that need a commission-based platform for selected client transactions.
