Investment Management

YOUR WEALTH, EXPERTLY MANAGED

Helping You Choose the Right Investment Strategy

Without the right investment management partner, investing can be a complicated process. Your money can be invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF’s, real estate, commodities, international stocks, or any number of other asset classes. The seemingly endless options can overwhelm even the savviest investor. That’s where a wealth management consultant can provide valuable guidance to help you navigate these complexities.

Investment Management is Anchor’s core focus, and we spend a good deal of time and resources to build custom portfolios for your specific needs. We start by getting to know you and what you want to accomplish. We assess your financial needs, investment preferences, and risk tolerance. Then we build an investment portfolio specifically designed to give you the outcome you desire.

A DISCIPLINED APPROACH TO GROWTH

The Anchor Investment Philosophy

Anchor’s investment philosophy is based upon the fact that the United States’ legal, financial, and educational systems provide corporations the best environment in which to conduct business and prosper. Therefore, we focus on Large Cap US Equities that are growing their revenues, growing their dividends, and moving their stock price forward. The companies we invest in are household names with excellent management teams, global revenue streams, and keenly focused on long-term shareholder returns.

THE THREE BUCKETS PHILOSOPHY

Our Approach
to Managing Risk

Successful investing is all about managing risk. Most people’s definition of risk is “how much can I lose in the short term?” While this assessment is understandable, it’s the wrong way to think about investing and can cause the average investor to be too conservative. An investor that tries not to lose in the short term will find it hard to accumulate wealth and secure a comfortable financial future. The correct way to look at risk is to ask yourself, “will I have the money I need to spend when I need to spend it?”

We find a good visualization for managing risk is the Three Buckets Philosophy. It works by dividing your investments as follows:

BUCKET 1

Short Term Money
(The next 0-2 years)

Examples: Household expenses, a new car in six months, or the down payment on a house in a year

BUCKET 2

Intermediate Term Money
(The next 2-15 years)

Examples: College and vacation home savings, home improvements, income enhancement

BUCKET 3

Long Term Money
(The next 15+ years)

Examples: Retirement savings, wealth creation
