External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Investment Advisor Representatives of Anchor Wealth Management Group receive external
compensation from sales of investment related products such as insurance as licensed
insurance agents. This represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to
recommend products based on the commission received. This conflict is mitigated by
disclosures, procedures, and Anchor Wealth Management Group’s fiduciary obligation to
place the best interest of the Client first and Clients are not required to purchase any
products or services. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another
insurance agent of their choosing.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not use a performance-based fee structure
because of the conflict of interest. Performance based compensation may create an
incentive for Anchor Wealth Management Group to recommend an investment that may
carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
Account Minimums
Anchor Wealth Management Group generally provides investment advice to individuals,
high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or
business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not requires a minimum to open or maintain an
account.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods typically includes fundamental analysis. Investing in securities
involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future returns.
Investment Strategy
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the
Client during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by
providing written notice to Anchor Wealth Management Group. Each Client executes a
Client profile form or similar form that documents their objectives and their desired
investment strategy.
Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, and trading.

Security Specific Material Risks
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
• Market Risk
risks and should discuss these risks with Anchor Wealth Management Group:
•
: The prices of securities in which clients invest may decline in response to
certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the
companies whose securities are owned by a fund; conditions affecting the general
economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic
instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Investors
should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines
Interest-rate Risk
in market value.
•
: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
Inflation Risk
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a
• Currency Risk
dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar
against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as
• Reinvestment Risk
exchange rate risk.
• Liquidity Risk
: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Management Risk:
: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not.
• Equity Risk:
The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the intended
results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a specific asset class
or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall performance of the
client’s portfolio may suffer.
• Fixed Income Risk:
Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices.
The value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than the market as a
whole. This volatility affects the value of the client’s overall portfolio. Small- and mid-
cap companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller companies may experience
greater volatility, higher failure rates, more limited markets, product lines, financial
resources, and less management experience than larger companies. Smaller companies
may also have a lower trading volume, which may disproportionately affect their
market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the
case with larger companies.
The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make
interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a
security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a rating
agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will decline
because investors will demand a higher rate of return. As nominal interest rates rise,
the value of fixed income securities held by a fund is likely to decrease. A nominal
interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate.
- 6 -
Investment Companies Risk:
•
• Long-term purchases
When a client invests in open end mutual funds or ETFs, the
client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable
directly by those funds. Therefore, the client will incur higher expenses, which may be
duplicative. In addition, the client’s overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an
underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an
underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also subject to the following
risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below their net
asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s
officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or
the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in
stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Adviser has no control over the risks taken
by the underlying funds in which client invests.
• Short-term purchases
: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the
intention of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of the
investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In
addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of the
biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations in the
financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.
: Short-term investments are typically held for one year or less.
Generally there is not a high expectation for a return or an increase in value. Typically,
short-term investments are purchased for the relatively greater degree of principal
protection they are designed to provide. Short-term investment vehicles may be subject
to purchasing power risk — the risk that your investment’s return will not keep up with
• Trading risk
inflation.
: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no
assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be achieved.

Client first and the Clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest

Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated persons of Anchor Wealth Management

profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to
our Clients.
Anchor Wealth Management Group’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or
otherwise misusing non-public or inside information. No advisory representative or other
affiliated person, officer or director of Anchor Wealth Management Group may recommend
any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients or engage in personal
securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative
possesses material, non-public information regarding the security.
Anchor Wealth Management Group’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the
interests of the Client are our top priority. Anchor Wealth Management Group’s officers,
directors, advisors, and other affiliated persons have a fiduciary duty to our Clients and
must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and confidence of our
Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s interests over the
interests of either affiliated persons or the company.

Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
Anchor Wealth Management Group will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer
based on their duty to seek best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to
obtain the most favorable terms for a client under the circumstances. The determination of
what may constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by
a broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage
selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with
which the transaction is affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is
involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing
relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. Anchor

including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability.
Anchor Wealth Management Group relies on its broker to provide its execution services at
the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other
sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by
Anchor Wealth Management Group. Anchor Wealth Management Group does not receive
any portion of the trading fees.
®
Anchor Wealth Management Group will also manage money through American Funds
Service Company
(AFS). AFS is a transfer agent, not a qualified custodian. The SEC
Custody Rule permits mutual fund transfer agents holding fund shares to serve in lieu of a
qualified custodian (Adviser’s Act Rule 206(4)-2(b)). This provision of the rule exempts
registered investment advisors (RIAs) from the independent audit requirement of the SEC
Custody Rule. Clients pay for any and all transfer agent fees in addition to the advisory fee
charged by Anchor Wealth Management Group.
• Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We utilize Fidelity as the qualified custodian for client accounts.
• Brokerage for Client Referrals
Anchor Wealth Management Group receives compensation from Fidelity, the
broker-dealer and account custodian used for our clients’ accounts, in the form of
access to electronic systems that assist us in the management of client accounts, as
well as research, software and other technology that provide access to client
account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), pricing
information and other market data, facilitate trade execution (and allocation of
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), and client reporting
capabilities. The account custodian also offers us discounts for products and
services offered by vendors and third-party service providers, such as software and
technology solutions. These economic benefits create a conflict of interest in that it
gives our, firm an incentive to recommend one broker-dealer or custodian over
another that does not provide similar electronic systems, support or services. We
address this conflict of interest by disclosing to our clients the types of
compensation that our firm receives so clients can consider this when evaluating
our firm. It is important that clients consider the fees, level of service and
investment strategies, among other factors, when selecting an investment manager.
• Directed Brokerage
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not receive client referrals from any
custodian or third party in exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not allow directed brokerage accounts.
Anchor Wealth Management Group manages each account separately, and therefore, does
not aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions. If orders are not aggregated,
some clients purchasing securities around the same time may receive a less favorable price
than other clients which may cost clients more money.

Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed quarterly by the Chief Compliance Officer of Anchor Wealth
Management Group, Kasia Marczyk. Account reviews are performed more frequently when
market conditions dictate. Reviews of Client accounts include, but are not limited to, a
review of Client documented risk tolerance, adherence to account objectives, investment
time horizon, and suitability criteria, reviewing target allocations of each asset class to
identify if there is an opportunity for rebalancing, and reviewing accounts for tax loss
harvesting opportunities.
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Financial plans generated are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or
amended agreement, Anchor Wealth Management Group suggests updating at least
annually.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation.
Clients receive written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by Anchor Wealth Management Group’s custodian. Client
receives confirmations of each transaction in account from custodian and an additional
statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. Anchor Wealth Management
Group does not provide additional reports to Clients.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts
of Interest
Anchor Wealth Management Group receives additional economic benefits from external
sources as described above in Item 12.
On occasion, outside parties such as product vendors, service vendors, or third party
money managers may invite and pay the expenses for an Anchor Wealth Management
Group Advisor to attend a conference, training seminar or due diligence event that they
have organized.
Additionally, an outside party may provide economic benefits by paying for all or a portion
of a meeting hosted by Anchor Wealth Management Group such as a client appreciation
event, sales seminar or training meeting.
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
This economic benefit is not tied to any specific sales quota. The receipt of cash or non-cash
compensation from an outside party creates a conflict of interest when making investment
recommendations for clients. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the
firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first.
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not compensate for Client referrals.
- 11 -
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged
to carefully compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by Anchor Wealth Management Group.
Anchor Wealth Management Group is deemed to have limited custody because advisory
fees are directly deducted from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of Anchor
Wealth Management Group.
Anchor Wealth Management Group is also deemed to have limited custody due to its Third-
Party Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA”).
Anchor Wealth Management Group and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7)
conditions in order to avoid maintaining full custody and be subject to the surprise exam
requirement:
1.
The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes
the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or
the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be
directed.
2.
The Client authorizes Anchor Wealth Management Group, in writing, either on the
qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either
on a specified schedule or from time to time.
3.
The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction,
such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization and
provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer.
4.
The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s
qualified custodian.
5.
Anchor Wealth Management Group has no authority or ability to designate or change
the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third
party contained in the Client’s instruction.
6.
Anchor Wealth Management Group maintains records showing that the third party is
not a related party nor located at the same address as Anchor Wealth Management
Group.
7.
The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice
confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
Anchor Wealth Management Group requires discretionary authority to manage securities
accounts on behalf of Clients. Anchor Wealth Management Group has the authority to
determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be bought or sold,
and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. Anchor Wealth Management Group
discretionary authority stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement.
- 12 -
Anchor Wealth Management Group allows Clients to place certain restrictions, as outlined
in the Client’s Investment Policy Statement or similar document. These restrictions must be
provided to Anchor Wealth Management Group in writing.
The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the
custodian. Anchor Wealth Management Group does not receive any portion of the
transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client to the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
Anchor Wealth Management Group does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are
expected to vote their own proxies. The Client will receive their proxies directly from the
custodian of their account or from a transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, Anchor Wealth Management Group will
provide recommendations to the Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to
the Client. If the Client requires assistance or has questions, they can reach out to the
investment advisor representatives of the firm at the contact information on the cover page
of this document.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided to Clients because Anchor Wealth
Management Group does not serve as a custodian for Client funds or securities and Anchor
Wealth Management Group does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per
Client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
Anchor Wealth Management Group has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our
ability to meet contractual commitments to our Clients.
Anchor Wealth Management Group has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten
years.
