Choosing a Financial Advisor

Choosing a financial advisor is a big step. We agree. We believe that working with a smaller independent firm allows personal access to your financial advisors not normally found in larger firms, retail brokers, or big banks. We are not controlled or pressured like many larger firms for performance or too many clients. We are focused on you. We approach investing from a financial planning perspective, with a holistic view of the big picture.

We partner with Charles Schwab Institutional Group as custodian of client accounts under our management. As our partner, Schwab transacts the trades in client accounts, keeps records, provides technical support, monthly account statements and secure, encrypted state of the art tech access to client accounts 24/7. Blue Anchor and Schwab do not pay each other any fees, compensation, commissions, or remuneration of any kind.
