About

Anchor Bay Capital, Inc. provides discretionary investment management, financial planning and retirement-plan services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), business entities, and pension and profit‑sharing plans. The firm also serves as an ERISA Section 3(38) investment manager for plan sponsors and offers non‑discretionary investment consulting and participant education for employer‑sponsored retirement plans.

The firm constructs diversified portfolios from stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs using fundamental analysis and independent due diligence, and offers model allocations that range from conservative fixed‑income blends to aggressive individual‑stock strategies. Portfolios are tailored to each client’s risk profile and financial situation, reviewed regularly by the investment team, and rebalanced or adjusted tactically as conditions change.

Anchor Bay operates as a team adviser (six advisors, approximately $247 million in AUM) and discloses affiliations that are uncommon among peers: a related broker‑dealer, Anchor Bay Securities, LLC, and associated persons who are licensed insurance agents and tax preparers, creating potential commission and referral conflicts the firm says it manages through its Code of Ethics and portfolio policies. The brochure also notes a few operational distinctions — the firm does not vote client proxies and uses standing letters of authorization for fee transfers — items clients may consider when evaluating custody and governance.
