Chandler Asset Management Inc

Chandler Asset Management is an SEC‑registered, employee‑owned investment manager that provides fixed income and multi‑asset class portfolio management, consulting, consolidated reporting and ESG reporting services primarily to institutional and pooled clients. The brochure identifies its client base as including state and local governments, local government investment pools (FL SAFE and CalFIT), hospitals, foundations, endowments, pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations and charitable organizations.

The firm’s investment approach centers on a conservative, risk‑controlled fixed income process that uses constrained duration, sector allocation, active term‑structure positioning and security selection driven by a proprietary credit evaluation and a quantitative Horizon Analysis Model. For multi‑asset mandates Chandler selects mutual funds and ETFs, monitors manager performance, and rebalances portfolios on a regular schedule.

Chandler manages a substantial institutional asset base (over $45 billion as disclosed) and operates through multiple offices, and the brochure highlights its role as both investment manager and administrative provider to public‑sector LGIPs, a structure the firm discloses may give rise to conflicts because of common ownership with an affiliated broker‑dealer (Chandler Distribution Services, LLC). The firm also offers negotiated consulting and reporting services (including ESG reporting and consolidated reporting for non‑managed assets), capabilities and client types that are less common among managers that principally focus on pooled or institutional mandates.
