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.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
