Anew Advisors, LLC (“Anew”, the “Firm”, or “Adviser”) is an SEC registered investment advisor.
Anew was founded in August 2021.
The Principal Owner and Chief Compliance Officer of Anew Advisors is Glen Colwell.
• Types of Advisory Services
Anew offers a variety of services, including investment advisory services and qualified retirement
planning. Anew offers these services to clients or potential clients (“clients”) as further described in
Item 7.
Investment Advisory Services
Anew offers discretionary and non-discretionary asset management services to advisory clients. Anew
will offer clients ongoing asset management services by determining individual investment goals, time
horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment strategies, selection, asset allocation, portfolio
monitoring and the overall investment program will be based on the above factors.
Prior to engaging Anew Advisors to provide any investment advisory services, Anew Advisors
requires a written Investment Advisory Agreement ( “IAA”) signed by the client prior to the
engagement of any services. The IAA will outline services to which the client is entitled and fees the
client will incur.
Anew Advisors is an asset-based fee investment management firm. Anew Advisors does not receive
commissions for purchasing or selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate investment trusts, or
other commissioned products for clients. Anew Advisors is not affiliated with entities that sell
financial products or securities. No commissions in any form are accepted.
Discretionary
When the client provides Anew discretionary authority the client will sign a limited trading
authorization or equivalent. Accordingly, Anew Advisors will be authorized to perform various
functions without further approval from the client, such as the determination of securities to be
purchased or sold. Any and all trades are made in the best interest of the client as part of Anew’s
fiduciary duty. However, risk is inherent to any investing strategy and model. Therefore, Anew
Advisors does not guarantee any results or returns.
Non-Discretionary
When the client uses Anew on a non-discretionary basis, Anew Advisors will determine the securities,
and the amount, to be bought or sold. However, Anew Advisors will obtain prior approval from the
client on every transaction before executing any transaction.
Use of Independent Managers
Anew may select certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of its clients’ assets. The
specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager may be set forth
in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. In addition to this
brochure, clients may also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent
Managers engaged to manage their assets.
Anew evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent
Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves,
and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess
the Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance, and risk results in relation to its
clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. Anew also takes into consideration each
Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing,
and research capabilities, among other factors.
Anew continues to provide services relative to the discretionary or non-discretionary selection of the
Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts
being managed by Independent Managers. Anew seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies
and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests.
Held Away Account Management
Anew uses a third-party platform to facilitate management of held away assets including but not
limited to: 401(k), 403(b), 401(a), HSA, VEBA,
414(h) and 457(b) and (f), with discretion or with
prior Client approval, as agreed upon at the time of engagement. Anew is not considered to have
custody of Client funds since we do not have direct log-in access to client accounts to affect trades.
Anew is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using
their platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the
platform. Once Client account(s) is connected to the platform, Advisor will review the current account
allocations. When deemed necessary, Advisor will rebalance the account considering client investment
goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market
trends. The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets,
and manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least
annually and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary.
Fixed Fee Engagement
We can provide fixed fee engagement for services for clients who need advice on a limited scope of
work. Fixed fee planning engagements are billed after services are performed. If the fixed fee
engagement is terminated before completion, your fee will be prorated based upon the portion of the
engagement that was completed. Any unearned fees will be promptly returned to you.
Retirement Plan Services
For our firm’s Qualified and Non-Qualified Retirement Plan accounts, our service begins with an
analysis of the current retirement plan structure, custodian, third-party administrator, daily record
keeper, investments, managed investment models, and fees. The analysis is designed to determine if
we are able to add value to the plan and what areas, if any, may be deficient from both a regulatory
