The SEC registered investment advisor also provides a range of investment solutions and strategies including diversified portfolios of stocks and bonds and portfolios comprised of multiple asset classes.

The firm intends to offer its clients with a conservative, yet active and opportunistic investment experience, delivering focused, objective and timely investment solutions. Andres will serve as chief investment officer for Andres Capital Management.

Andres said: "We believe the next five years will prove difficult for investors, particularly with so few professional money managers having experience managing assets in an environment characterized by broad uncertainty, increasing geo-political risks and the potential for rising interest rates."

Andres previously served as national sales manager for municipal securities at Kidder Peabody and Merrill Lynch. He also co-founded Martindale Andres & Company and served as the chief investment strategist for Envestnet.
