Investors in the 1970’s experienced a great market crash, rampant inflation, and a new set of security laws and regulations. The securities industry was materially changed at this time from one of investment counsel to one of product manufacturing and distribution. This manufacturing and distribution of investment products initially produced positive benefits for all savers, but with time, the benefits were lost to those most in need. It was during this time that our founder, Kendall Anderson, entered the investment industry. Kendall saw that individual investors were overwhelmed with product choices, and felt they were in need of expert help to manage their portfolios.
The private investor, whether independently wealthy, in the process of saving for retirement, retired, or acting as a trustee for the benefit of others, does not have the time or the money to choose the investment products and securities that are sound and best suited to meet his or her goals, and does not wish to spend thousands of hours to gain the knowledge and experience needed to manage a portfolio.
Anderson Griggs Investments grew out of a desire to provide this expert help to individuals and their families. Anderson Griggs is a professional investment counseling firm. We take pride in the fact that we focus on the needs of each individual client and his or her family, and take every effort to prudently manage each portfolio for the benefit of the client while reducing and disclosing any and all conflicts of interest.
To accomplish these goals for our clients and our firm, we have eliminated any ability to earn commissions or rebates through the sale of outsourced products or services. We instead focus on research, and build portfolios through both the ownership of shares in a limited number of the world’s great companies and through bonds issued directly by governments and highly rated corporations. We also maintain registration as an investment advisor to assure all current and future clients that our firm is meeting its legal responsibility as a fiduciary.
Our firm today is truly a family operation. Justin Anderson, Kendall’s son, joined the firm over a decade ago, beginning his career as a research assistant and gaining the knowledge needed to research and select securities. Today he is using this knowledge as portfolio manager for our clients’ investment accounts.
Today the firm is still owned by the Anderson family. In addition to ownership, each of the family members working at the firm, including Kendall, are clients of the firm, investing their own funds using the same research driven approach that is used for clients.
