About PARRILLO INVESTORS LLC
Your Fixed-Fee Investment Coach
Opening Statement
I spent four decades as an institutional investment manager, the last 25 years running my own firm, Newport Capital Advisers LLC. Institutions do not pay a percentage of assets under management forever. They negotiate hard, benchmark rigorously, and hold their advisors accountable for results. I bring that same standard to individual investors with portfolios of one million dollars or more.
When you work with me, you work directly with me. I do not manage your money, sell products, or earn commissions. I analyze your situation, assess your true risk tolerance using validated tools, and give you an independent, data driven second opinion on whether your current arrangement is working for you, or for your advisor.
What I Offer Instead
At Parrillo Investors LLC, I offer a different model. Instead of charging a percentage of your assets forever, I provide institutional grade investment consulting for a fixed fee. You pay for advice, not a perpetual tax on your wealth.
I provide objective, fee only consultative advice with no commissions and no sales of financial products.
What the Traditional Model Actually Costs
If you have one million dollars invested with a traditional wealth manager, there is a good chance you are paying $10,000 to $20,000 every year, whether the market goes up or down, whether your advisor calls you or not.
Most investors never see this number. The fees are real, and they compound against you. Over 20 years, a single 1% annual advisory fee on a $1,000,000 portfolio costs $702,248 in lost wealth, on a portfolio earning a 7% annual return before the advisory fee. The ending value without fees is $3,864,684. After a 1% annual fee, and the lost earnings on that fee, it is $3,167,436.
That is not a rounding error. That is your retirement.

My Approach to Your Portfolio
I work with you directly to determine your risk tolerance, ensuring your investments align with your desired level of risk and potential rewards.
By understanding the range of portfolio value variation, I aim to help you preserve your purchasing power after taxes and inflation.
What I Believe
My practice rests on humility, simplicity, trust, and peace of mind. I am committed to guiding you through your investment journey with discipline, consistency, and a focus on controlling fees. I believe investing with joy and peace of mind is possible, even in the face of financial market turmoil.
Founder Note
Andrew Parrillo's experience includes founding Newport Capital Advisers LLC, a registered investment advisory firm, before starting Parrillo Investors LLC to offer that same expertise directly to individual investors.
Face to Face with Andrew Parrillo
Andrew’s vision after many years in the investment industry is that the asset-based fee model is not necessarily in the best interest of clients, and he advocates a fixed fee for planning and strategy advice. There is no need to pay an advisor multiple times for the same advice, which typically advocates staying invested for the long term.
Institutions have for many years engaged consultants to assist them with investment planning, strategy, asset allocation, portfolio selection, and monitoring. He brings the institutional consulting and coaching approach that he practiced to individual investors with his new firm, PARRILLO INVESTORS LLC.
