Why Anchor Financial Advisors
You’ve worked a lifetime to build what you have. Anchor Financial Advisors, led by Founder & CEO Brian Swerdlow, focuses on helping pre-retirees and retirees in Schaumburg and the greater Chicagoland area turn savings into protected, reliable income — with clear strategies instead of guesswork.
Independent & Options-Driven
Anchor Financial Advisors is not tied to a single company’s products. Brian reviews solutions from multiple respected carriers and narrows them down to what actually fits your goals, time horizon, and comfort level with risk.
Retirement-First Planning
The focus is on income you can’t outlive and strategies to help reduce the impact of major market downturns — so your retirement lifestyle isn’t dictated by the latest headline or short-term swing in the markets.
Personal, Relationship-Based Advice
This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all plan. Brian takes the time to understand your family, your concerns, and what “successful retirement” really means to you — then builds strategies around that vision.
