OUR FIRM

Bringing Investing back to it Roots

Firm Overview


We’re a Baton Rouge-based, Registered Investment Advisor firm that specializes in concentrated investments. We compile in-depth, comprehensive research on every company in our recommended portfolio, ensuring greater reliability and accuracy in our investments.

The New York Stock Exchange began in 1792 under the shade of a Buttonwood tree. A small group of investors loaned money to the local business owners and farmers that they wanted to see succeed. Investing meant more than earning a profit; it was about supporting the businesses one believed in.

Our strategy is no different. We fill our portfolio with companies that we support, investing in their success and yours at the same time. Most investment firms give you too many diluted strategies to choose from, each of them focusing on different results. At BF/Anderson, we have one strategy, and it’s focused on you.

Financial security. Confidence. Peace of mind.

Three core concepts that form the foundation of our commitment to you.


Three core concepts that form the foundation of our commitment to you. Principles that are the driving force behind every investment decision made on your behalf. These are the forces that guide us, helping us to fully commit ourselves to your financial well being.
