Our Advantage
Our Advantage
While any financial professional can provide investment advice, trusted relationships can be harder to find. The advisors at Anchor Private planning are committed to providing impeccable service that stands out from the rest. We believe clients benefit from:
Strategic Partnerships
Working hand and hand with national custodians, but remaining independent advisors, we strive to offer clients the personalized attention of a small practice with the resources of a national firm. Through these affiliations, we have access to a number of up-to-date resources, tools, and market research that help us better serve clients.
Unbiased Recommendations
Advisors working for wirehouses are typically tied to proprietary products and have quotas to meet. This frequently leads to conflicts of interest, meaning what is recommended to a client may not always be the best solution. As an independent advisor, your Anchor advisor has the freedom and flexibility to choose from a wide range of investment products. Without any partiality, they can offer clients unbiased advice and strategies aligned with their best interests.
Strong Relationships
When an advisor works for a corporate financial firm, they often have to leave their clients behind in order to be promoted and advance their own career. This leaves you, the client, having to pick up the pieces, and attempt to establish a trusting working relationship with the new individual that has been assigned to you.
Not here. The desire of each Anchor Private Planning advisor is to be your advisor for life. We enjoy working closely with our clients, building trusted relationships. We seek to work with our clients for the long-term and help them stay on track as they pursue their financial goals. Our greatest passion is guiding clients through the many milestones of life and playing a role in their lives.
CFP® Certification
Not all financial planners are certified. A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification means the financial planner has fulfilled rigorous education and experience requirements set by the CFP Board. A CFP® professional always puts the client’s interests first and upholds a high level of ethics, objectivity, and professionalism. Through a Code of Ethics, our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals agree to offer fair and diligent financial planning advice and services.
Easy-to-Understand Education
Rather than use technical language and financial jargon, we explain financial concepts and investment strategies in plain English. We want our clients to be educated, to understand the reasoning behind our recommendations, to never hesitate to ask a question, and to feel comfortable with their plan and strategies.
Fee Transparency
We strive to provide complete transparency with our clients, especially when it comes to fees. We are honest with our clients regarding how we are compensated, and a major emphasis is to provide investment strategies that are cost-effective.
Experience
With more than 50 years of collective experience in the financial services industry, our advisors have experienced a number of market conditions and have seen firsthand how small changes over time can make a major difference in the long-term. With a long history in the industry, we help clients avoid the common pitfalls people make and share our experiences to help them with their planning needs.
