Item 4 - Advisory Business
General Information
Anchor Investment Management, LLC (“Anchor”) was formed in 2000, and provides portfolio
management services to its clients.
Brochure Supplements, Exhibit A,
W. Patrick Dorn, Jr. (principal owner, as defined), John Moorman, Margaret Ellen Pender and Joy
Watkins are the majority owners of Anchor. Please see
for more
information on these individuals and others who formulate investment advice and have direct
contact with clients or have discretionary authority over client accounts.
As of December 31, 2024, Anchor managed $1,350,686,631 on a discretionary basis, and
$7,746,471 on a non-discretionary basis.
SERVICES PROVIDED
At the outset of our relationship, we spend time with you, asking questions, discussing your
investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing options for you. Based on our
reviews, we generally develop with you:
•
•
a financial outline for you based on your financial circumstances and goals, and your risk
tolerance level (the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”); and
your investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Policy Statement, or “IPS”).
The Financial Profile is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future goals,
and may not be a separate, written document. The IPS outlines the types of investments we will
make or recommend on your behalf to meet those goals, and is a written document. The Profile and
the IPS are discussed regularly with you, and are updated as necessary to reflect changes in your
financial circumstances.
Where we provide Retirement Plan Advisory services, we will work with the Plan Sponsor to
prepare an appropriate summary of the specific project(s) to the extent necessary or advisable
under the circumstances.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of our relationship, we meet with you, gather information and
perform research and analysis as necessary to develop your IPS. The IPS will be updated from time
to time when requested by you, or when determined to be necessary or advisable by us based on
updates to your financial or other circumstances. Portfolio Management services include limited
financial planning as needed.
To implement your IPS, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary or a non-
discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise
and direct your portfolio without prior consultation with you. Under non-discretionary
arrangements, you must be contacted prior to the execution of any trade in the account(s) under
management. This may result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely
affect the performance of your portfolio. This delay also normally means the affected account(s)
will not be able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality,
Page 3
timing and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, you
retain the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to your portfolio.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the
management of your investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of
investments in your investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the
account at the commencement of the relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions
imposed by you may adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment
portfolio. You should also note that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving
consideration to each purchase or sale for your account. For these and other reasons, performance
of your investment portfolio within the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance
may differ and you should not expect that the composition or performance of your investment
portfolio would necessarily be consistent with similar clients of ours.
Financial Planning
One of the services offered by us is financial planning, described below. This service may be
provided as a stand-alone service, or may be coupled with ongoing portfolio management.
Financial planning generally includes advice that addresses one or more areas of your financial
situation, such as estate planning, risk management, budgeting and cash flow controls, retirement
planning, education funding, and investment portfolio design. Depending on your particular
situation, financial planning may include some or all of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Gathering factual information concerning your personal and financial situation;
Assisting you in establishing financial goals and objectives;
Analyzing your present situation and anticipated future activities in light of your financial
goals and objectives;
Identifying problems foreseen in the accomplishment of these financial goals and objectives
and offering alternative solutions to the problems;
Making recommendations to help achieve retirement plan goals and objectives;
Designing an investment portfolio to help meet your goals and objectives;
Providing estate planning;
Assessing risk and reviewing basic health, life and disability insurance needs; or
Reviewing goals and objectives and measuring progress toward these goals.
Once financial planning advice is given, you may choose to have us implement your financial plan
and manage your investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. However, you are under no obligation
to act upon any of the recommendations made by us under a financial planning engagement and/or
to engage the services of any recommended professional.
Individual Retirement Advice
When we are making investment recommendations to you regarding your retirement plan account
or individual retirement account, we are acting as fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which
laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money or otherwise are
are
compensated creates some conflicts with your financial interests, so we operate under a special
rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Page 4
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice) to you;
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
Charge no more than what is reasonable for our services; and
Give you basic information about our conflicts of interest.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring
that prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. We will provide
Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as described below. The
particular services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The appropriate Plan
Fiduciary(ies) designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named fiduciary) will (i)
make the decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we will provide; and
(iii) make the ultimate decision as to accepting any of the recommendations that we may provide.
The Plan Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any
recommended services for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services may be offered
individually or as part of a comprehensive suite of services.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) sets forth rules under which Plan
Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets.
For certain services, we will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For example, we will act as an
ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan
Fiduciaries by recommending a suite of investments as choices among which Plan Participants may
select.
Consulting
Fiduciary
Services
Investment Selection Services
•
We will provide Plan Fiduciaries with recommendations of investment options consistent
with ERISA section 404(c). Plan Fiduciaries retain responsibility for the final determination
of investment options and for compliance with ERISA section 404(c).
• Non-Discretionary Investment Advice
We provide Plan Fiduciaries and Plan Participants general, non-discretionary investment
advice regarding assets classes and investments.
Investment Monitoring
•
We will assist in monitoring the plan’s investment options and will make recommendations
to maintain or remove and replace investment options. The details of this aspect of service
will be enumerated in the engagement agreement between the parties.
Page 5
Non-Fiduciary Services
• Participant Education
We will provide education services to Plan Participants about general investment principles
and the investment alternatives available under the Plan. Education presentations will not
take into account individual circumstances and individual recommendations will not be
provided unless you separately engage us for such services. Participants are responsible for
implementing transactions in their own accounts.
• Participant Enrollment
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
We will assist with group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement Plan
participation among employees and investment and financial understanding by the
employees.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
General Fee Information
Fees paid to us are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to your custodian, brokers or
for additional information.
other third party consultants. Please see
Fees paid to us are also separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds,
ETFs (exchange traded funds) or other investment pools to their shareholders (generally including
a management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund’s prospectus or offering materials).
You should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, Anchor and others to fully understand the
total amount of fees paid by you for investment and financial-related services.
Portfolio Management Fees
The annual fee schedule, based on a percentage of assets under management, is 1.00%.
The minimum portfolio value is generally set at $500,000. Minimum annual fees may apply. We
may, at our discretion, make exceptions to the foregoing or negotiate special fee arrangements
where we deem it appropriate under the circumstances.
Portfolio management fees are generally payable quarterly, in arrears. If management begins after
the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. With your authorization and unless other
arrangements are made, fees are normally debited directly from your account(s).
Either you or Anchor may terminate your Investment Management Agreement at any time, subject
to any written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination, any paid but
unearned fees will be promptly refunded to you based on the number of days that the account was
managed, and any fees due to us from you will be invoiced or deducted from your account prior to
termination.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees
Our fee for services is asset based and payable monthly at an annual rate ranging from 0.25% to
0.50%. Fees are individually negotiated with the plan sponsor and vary depending on the size and
complexity of the arrangement. Fees are automatically deducted from the Plan or Participant
account in accordance with the written agreement with the investment platform servicing the
account.
The Plan and/or Participants are also subject to the fees and expenses charged by the underlying

mutual funds and other third-parties (see
Assets held in group
annuities will be under the custody of the issuing insurance company or the issuing insurance
company’s designated custodian. Please refer to your account establishment paperwork and/or
the underlying variable product prospectus(es) for additional details on fees and expenses that
may be assessed to the account. Plan Fiduciaries are responsible for determining whether the
combination of fees described above are reasonable in light of the services received from each
party.
Financial Planning
When we provide stand-alone financial planning services to you, these fees are negotiated at the
time of the engagement. Services normally range from $1,500 to $8,000 (an annual retainer fee may
also apply), depending on the scope and length of the engagement.
Other Compensation
Joy Watkins is also a Registered Representative of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (“PKS”), an
SEC registered broker/dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. As a Registered Representative, she
is entitled to receive commissions or other remuneration on the sale of insurance and other
products. To protect your interests, our policy is to disclose all forms of compensation before any
such transaction is executed. You will not pay both a commission to Joy and also pay an advisory
fee to us on the same pool of assets. These fees are exclusive of each other.
As a result of this relationship, PKS may have access to certain confidential information (e.g.,
financial information, investment objectives, transactions, and holdings) about our clients, even if
you do not establish any account through PKS. If you would like a copy of the PKS privacy notice,
please contact our Chief Compliance Officer, Margaret Ellen Pender.
Brian Blackwelder is also a licensed insurance agent in the state of South Carolina. To protect client
interests, our policy is to disclose all forms of compensation before any such transaction is
executed. Clients will not pay both a commission to Brian and also pay an advisory fee to us on the
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
same pool of assets. These fees are exclusive of each other.
We do not have any performance-based fee arrangements. “Side-by-Side Management” refers to a
situation in which the same firm manages accounts that are billed based on a percentage of assets
under management and at the same time manages other accounts for which fees are assessed on a
performance fee basis. Because we have no performance-based fee accounts, we have no side-by-
side management.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
We serve individuals, corporations, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and pension and profit
sharing plans. With some exceptions, the minimum portfolio value eligible for conventional
investment advisory services is $500,000. Minimum annual fees may apply. Under certain
circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may negotiate such minimums.

Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We primarily invest accounts in equity securities selected in accordance with your IPS. We may
also use other types of investments, such as fixed income securities, for income, capital
preservation, or liquidity needs identified in your IPS.
Equity Securities
. We primarily focus on selection of individual stocks for your account; however,
we may also occasionally use exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and/or mutual funds to construct a
portfolio most suitable to meet your IPS. Other types of equity securities (e.g., options, preferred
stocks, etc.) may also be used when we believe these types of securities are consistent with your IPS
and will meet a need for your account.
We are primarily an “equity blend” asset manager, using both value and growth securities in
constructing your portfolio. While we may use equity securities of companies of any size, we
generally emphasizes large capitalization companies (or mutual funds or ETFs investing in large
capitalization companies), with small- and mid-cap equity securities (or mutual funds or ETFs
investing in small- and mid-cap equity securities) added for portfolio diversification. We will
generally utilize ETFs or mutual funds as a way to include certain isolated areas of the US Equity
markets or for access to foreign securities.
We select equity securities based on our internal research, which may include reviews of
information provided by portfolio companies as well as information from major research
companies, and research selected from key analysts identified by us for specific companies and in
specific industries. While we may diversify portfolios into a variety of industries and sectors, our
process includes higher weighting in sectors that we believe have above-average prospects for
future earnings growth.
In selecting equity securities for your portfolio, we generally apply traditional fundamental analysis
including, without limitation, the following factors:
•
•
•
•
financial strength ratios
price-to-earnings ratios
dividend yields, and
growth rate-to-price earnings ratios
We may also consider additional fundamental or other factors in making investment decisions for
your accounts.
Debt Securities
. As noted above, we may use fixed income securities for income, capital
preservation, liquidity or other needs in managing accounts consistent with the your IPS. While we
may invest your portfolio in debt securities of any quality, we emphasizes the use of investment-
grade debt instruments. We generally rely on third party research and rating firms to assess the
quality of fixed income securities.
Depending upon your financial circumstances (e.g., specific cash flows required, whether the
managed account is taxable, etc.), we may invest accounts in corporate or municipal bonds, or debt
instruments of the U.S. government. Generally, the fixed income needs of a managed account are
met by investing directly into these securities, but mutual funds or ETFs may be used for this
Page 8
purpose as well. Short-term cash management of the portfolio is usually accomplished through the
use of money market mutual funds.
Risk of Loss
While we seek to diversify your investment portfolio across various asset classes consistent with
your IPS in an effort to reduce risk of loss, all investment portfolios are subject to risks.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that your investment portfolios will be able to meet fully
your investment objectives and goals, or that investments will not lose money.
Below is a description of several of the principal risks that your investment portfolio faces.
Management Risks.
While we manage your investment portfolio based on our experience, research
and proprietary methods, the value of your investment portfolio will change daily based on the
performance of the underlying securities in which they are invested. Accordingly, your investment
portfolio is subject to the risk that we allocate your assets to individual securities and/or asset
classes that are adversely affected by unanticipated market movements, and the risk that our
specific investment choices could underperform their relevant indexes.
Risks of Investments in Mutual Funds, ETFs and Other Investment Pools.
As described above, we may
invest your portfolio in mutual funds, ETFs and other investment pools (“pooled investment
funds”). Investments in pooled investment funds are generally less risky than investing in
individual securities because of their diversified portfolios; however, these investments are still
subject to risks associated with the markets in which they invest. In addition, pooled investment
funds’ success will be related to the skills of their particular managers and their performance in
managing their funds. Pooled investment funds are also subject to risks due to regulatory
restrictions applicable to registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
Equity Market Risks.
We will invest portions of your assets directly into equity investments,
primarily stocks, or into pooled investment funds that invest in the stock market. As noted above,
while pooled investments have diversified portfolios that may make them less risky than
investments in individual securities, funds that invest in stocks and other equity securities are
nevertheless subject to the risks of the stock market. These risks include, without limitation, the
risks that stock values will decline due to daily fluctuations in the markets, and that stock values
will decline over longer periods (e.g., bear markets) due to general market declines in the stock
prices for all companies, regardless of any individual security’s prospects.
Fixed Income Risks.
We will invest portions of your assets directly into fixed income instruments,
such as bonds and notes, or may invest in pooled investment funds that invest in bonds and notes.
While investing in fixed income instruments, either directly or through pooled investment funds, is
generally less volatile than investing in stock (equity) markets, fixed income investments
nevertheless are subject to risks. These risks include, without limitation, interest rate risks (risks
that changes in interest rates will devalue the investments), credit risks (risks of default by
borrowers), or maturity risk (risks that bonds or notes will change value from the time of issuance
to maturity).
Foreign Securities Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets into pooled investment funds that
invest internationally. While foreign investments are important to the diversification of your
investment portfolio, they carry risks that may be different from U.S. investments. For example,
foreign investments may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure
Page 9
standards, practices or requirements comparable to those found in the U.S. Foreign investments
are also subject to foreign withholding taxes and the risk of adverse changes in investment or
exchange control regulations. Finally, foreign investments may involve currency risk, which is the
risk that the value of the foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
U.S. dollar and the security’s underlying foreign currency.
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Anchor or the integrity of our
management. We have no disciplinary events to report.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Anchor nor our Management Persons have any other financial industry activities or
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
affiliations to report.
Code of Ethics and Personal Trading
We have adopted a Code of Ethics (“the Code”), the full text of which is available to you upon
request. Our Code has several goals. First, the Code is designed to assist us in complying with
Under the
applicable laws and regulations governing our investment advisory business.
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we owe fiduciary duties to our clients. Pursuant to these fiduciary
duties, the Code requires persons associated with us (managers, officers and employees) to act with
honesty, good faith and fair dealing in working with clients. In addition, the Code prohibits such
associated persons from trading or otherwise acting on insider information.
Next, the Code sets forth guidelines for professional standards for our associated persons. Under
the Code’s Professional Standards, we expect our associated persons to put your interests first,
ahead of personal interests. In this regard, our associated persons are not to take inappropriate
advantage of their positions in relation to our clients.
Third, the Code sets forth policies and procedures to monitor and review the personal trading
activities of associated persons. From time to time our associated persons may invest in the same
securities recommended to you. Under our Code, we have adopted procedures designed to reduce
or eliminate conflicts of interest that this could potentially cause. The Code’s personal trading
policies include procedures for limitations on personal securities transactions of associated
persons, reporting and review of such trading and pre-clearance of certain types of personal
trading activities. These policies are designed to discourage and prohibit personal trading that
would disadvantage clients. The Code also provides for disciplinary action as appropriate for
violations.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Because associated persons may invest in the same securities as those held in your account, we
have established a policy requiring our associated persons to pre-clear transactions in some types
of securities with the Chief Compliance Officer. The goal of this policy is to avoid any conflicts of
interest that arise in these situations. Some types of securities, such as CDs, treasury obligations
and open-end mutual funds are exempt from this pre-clearance requirement. However, in the
event of other identified potential trading conflicts of interest, our goal is to place your interests
first.
Page 10
Consistent with the foregoing, we maintain policies regarding participation in initial public
offerings (“IPOs”) and private placements to comply with applicable laws and avoid conflicts with
your transactions. If our associated person wishes to participate in an IPO or invest in a private
placement, he or she must submit a pre-clearance request and obtain the approval of the Chief
Compliance Officer.
Finally, if associated persons trade with client accounts (i.e., in a bundled or aggregated trade), and
the trade is not filled in its entirety, the associated person’s shares will be removed from the block,
and the balance of shares will be allocated among client accounts in accordance with our written
policy.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Best Execution and Benefits of Brokerage Selection
When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in your account, we
seek “best execution” for your trades, which is a combination of a number of factors, including,
without limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, we
may use or recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in
the recognition of research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research
services received with transactions may include proprietary or third party research (or any
combination), and may be used in servicing any or all of our clients. Therefore, research services
received may not be used for the account for which the particular transaction was effected.
We recommend that you establish a brokerage account with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”),
a FINRA registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian to maintain custody of
your assets. We may also effect trades for your account at Schwab, or may in some instances,
consistent with our duty of best execution and specific agreement with you, elect to execute trades
elsewhere. Although we may recommend that you establish your account(s) at Schwab, it is
ultimately your decision to custody assets with Schwab. We are independently owned and
operated and are not affiliated with Schwab.
Schwab Advisor Services provides us with access to its institutional trading, custody, reporting and
related services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our
clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. These services generally are
available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them. These
services are not soft dollar arrangements, but are part of the institutional platform offered by
Schwab. Schwab’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody,
research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available
only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For our client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for
custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other fees on
trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab account. Certain trades may not incur Schwab
commissions or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested
cash in your account. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to us other products and
services that benefit us but may not directly benefit our clients’ accounts. Many of these products
and services may be used to service all or a substantial number of our accounts, including accounts
not maintained at Schwab.
Page 11
Schwab’s products and services that assist us in managing and administering your accounts include
software and other technology that (i) provide access to your account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade
orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate
payment of our fees from your account; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and
client reporting.
Schwab Advisor Services also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop
our business enterprise. These services may include: (i) technology, compliance, legal and business
consulting; (ii) publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
(iii) access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services
rendered to us. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for
some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us.
Schwab Advisor Services may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional
business entertainment of our personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that you custody
your assets at Schwab, we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products
and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely
on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may
create a potential conflict of interest.
Directed Brokerage
You may direct us to use a particular broker for custodial or transaction services on behalf of your
portfolio. In directed brokerage arrangements, you are responsible for negotiating the commission
rates and other fees to be paid to the broker. Accordingly, if you choose to direct brokerage, you
should consider whether such designation may result in certain costs or disadvantages to you,
either because you may pay higher commissions or obtain less favorable execution, or the
designation limits the investment options available to you.
The arrangement that we have with Schwab is designed to maximize efficiency and to be cost
effective. By directing brokerage arrangements, you acknowledge that these economies of scale
and levels of efficiency are generally compromised when alternative brokers are used. While every
effort is made to treat clients fairly over time, the fact that you choose to use the brokerage and/or
custodial services of these alternative service providers can in fact result in a certain degree of
delay in executing trades for your account(s) and otherwise adversely affect management of your
account(s).
By directing us to use a specific broker or dealer, clients who are subject to ERISA confirm and
agree with us that they have the authority to make the direction, that there are no provisions in any
client or plan document which are inconsistent with the direction, that the brokerage and other
goods and services provided by the broker or dealer through the brokerage transactions are
provided solely to and for the benefit of the client’s plan, plan participants and their beneficiaries,
that the amount paid for the brokerage and other services have been determined by the client and
the plan to be reasonable, that any expenses paid by the broker on behalf of the plan are expenses
that the plan would otherwise be obligated to pay, and that the specific broker or dealer is not a
party in interest of the client or the plan as defined under applicable ERISA regulations.
Aggregated Trade Policy
We typically direct trading in your account as and when trades are appropriate based on your IPS,
without regard to activity in other client accounts. However, from time to time, we may aggregate
Page 12
trades together for multiple client accounts, most often when these accounts are being directed to
sell the same securities. If such an aggregated trade is not completely filled, we will allocate shares
received (in an aggregated purchase) or sold (in an aggregated sale) across participating accounts
on a pro rata or other fair basis; provided, however, that any participating accounts that are owned
by us or our officers, directors, or employees will be excluded first.
Cross Trades
From time to time, we may direct a “cross trade” of securities (including, without limitation, fixed
income securities) between client accounts, whereby we arrange for one client account to purchase
a security directly from another client. In such cases, we will seek to obtain a price for the security
from one or more independent sources. We are not a broker-dealer and receive no compensation
from a cross trade; however, the broker-dealer facilitating the cross trade normally charges
administrative fees to your account.
We may direct a cross trade when we believe that the transaction is in your best interest, that no
client will be disfavored by the transaction, and that the transaction is consistent with our duty to
seek best execution.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
Managed portfolios are reviewed at least quarterly, but may be reviewed more often if requested by
you, upon receipt of information material to the management of your portfolio, or at any time such
review is deemed necessary or advisable by us. These factors generally include but are not limited
to, the following: change in your general circumstances (marriage, divorce, retirement); or
economic, political or market conditions. An appropriate Principal or Portfolio Manager of Anchor
reviews all accounts.
Account custodians are responsible for providing monthly or quarterly account statements which
reflect the positions (and current pricing) in your account as well as transactions in your account,

questions or concerns. You are also asked to notify us promptly if the custodian fails to provide
statements on each account held.
