Anderson Financial Partners, Inc. was founded in 2003 under the name Bott-Anderson Partners and is
wholly-owned by one of it’s principals, John K. Anderson, Jr. In 2018, the name of the firm was changed
to Anderson Financial Partners, Inc. Our primary focus has always been to provide independent
investment consulting services to both corporate and non-profit organizations as well as high net worth
families and family foundations. We are fully registered with the SEC and the State of Florida but are not
affiliated with any FINRA member firm and/or FINRA broker-dealer organization.
The principals of Anderson Financial Partners have extensive professional and volunteer experience with
hospitals and other non-profit organizations. Anderson Financial Partners currently consults to 10 non-
profit organizations, and its principals have served and continue to serve on the Boards of numerous non–
profit organizations. We truly believe that our personal experience is unmatched. A key hallmark of our
firm is our personal involvement with every client; we feel that in this way we are able to serve the
investment consulting needs of our clients in a superior fashion.
We are a fee-based investment consulting firm which derives 100% of its revenues from such services.
We do not engage in any other businesses, including securities-related activities such as trust, custodial
or investment management (securities-picking) services.
Anderson Financial Partners is not a broker/dealer. Anderson Financial Partners does not provide asset
custody services as such services are available inexpensively and efficiently from both brokerage firms and
trust companies. We utilize the competitively priced custody services of several different broker dealers
and trust companies. We closely monitor the cost of such services and have often found opportunities
with our clients to dramatically reduce expenses through analysis and comparative pricing. We do not
accept any commissions from any external sources.
When introductory fees or breakpoint trading discounts are made available to Anderson Financial
Partners, these fees or discounts may be captured for the benefit of our clients, and if captured are fully
applied (100%) to offset our consulting fees. Again, our revenue is derived entirely from our investment
consulting services.
Our greatest strengths are fivefold:
1) Client advocacy
2) Ratio of client accounts-to-consultant
3) Access to research
4) Manager screening process
5) Tenured professionals
At Anderson Financial Partners, we view ourselves, first and foremost, as client advocates. Our role as
your independent investment consultant is to sit “on your side of the desk” as we work together to select,
engage and monitor the best asset managers available to manage each sector of your portfolio. Our
relationships with our clients are personal and first name. Our experience in healthcare especially allows
us to truly add value well beyond the scope of investment portfolio management to our healthcare clients.
Among our firm’s strengths is our client to consultant ratio (our coverage ratio). Presently, we have a
coverage ratio of better than 18. The size of our business is a tremendous advantage to our clients. Our
high coverage ratio is proof that your account and its goal of achieving its stated objective is paramount.
The attention and focus you will receive from Anderson Financial is unlike the diluted monitoring that you
would receive from larger, less focused firms, whose consultants often are assigned coverage on upwards
of 40 accounts.
At Anderson Financial our clients are not just a file or account number. We build long lasting personal
relationships. Furthermore, we do not “allow the meter to run” on phone calls or e-mails to our clients.
Our fee is inclusive of all client communications.
Anderson Financial Partners meets directly with clients each quarter, and upon request, will meet off-
quarter to accommodate any schedule. During our quarterly review meetings, we break down complex,
quantitative measurements into digestible and relevant information to effectively convey, communicate,
and educate our clients. We also provide a weekly economic commentary to our consulting clients. By
building clients’ comfort level with the markets and the tools we use, we further enhance our consulting
relationship and our inherent value. Over time, our clients have regularly commented that this hands-on
approach has helped them better fulfill fiduciary duties, if any.
Our greatest strength lies in the experience of the professionals at Anderson Financial Partners. Unlike
our larger competition, who staff their firms with fresh out of school MBA’s, our clients are serviced by
our principals.
We are confident that our firm’s size, coverage ratio, together with the deep and varied experience of our
managing partners and managing directors allows us to provide unparalleled service to our clients.
