My Mission Statement
Wealth Management in a changing, dynamic world.
Meet Blaine Anderson
What a wonderful journey the past thirty years as a financial professional has been, traveling the world meeting clients and business partners as well as learning and growing in a very dynamic industry. It has given me a chance to become a world-class financial advisor benefiting my clients, myself, and Morgan Stanley.
This journey began as a young man with a strong desire to achieve. This desire found an outlet in sports, namely running. While in high school I was mentored and directed by coaches, teachers, parents, and friends such that I was able to become a two time Utah State Champion and Utah State Record holder in the mile run. I enrolled at Brigham Young University and competed and teamed with 5 Olympians and 4 sub 4:00 mile runners thus enjoying a world-class environment for success. In this setting, I was able to compete at a national level and bring my mile time to 4:02. More importantly, I was able to learn lessons of life that would serve me well.
Upon graduation, I was hired by David Finch, the manager at Merrill Lynch, for whom I am forever grateful. This launched my career as a financial professional.
My career brought me to Utah in 1993 where I worked at Prudential Securities, US Bank, and UBS each providing wonderful friends experience and training.
During the 2009 financial crisis, it was important to partner with what I felt was the best and strongest financial services firm in the world. Moving to Morgan Stanley was the answer, which I might add has been a great success. Much of this success comes by having created a boutique/concierge planning and investment experience where I can provide first class service, five-star planning, and custom portfolio management for my clients.
I've found, as you research, implement, and execute proven strategies over a long period of time you will create a world class result. I learned that, as a mile runner seeking the four minute mile and in my career, seeking great results for my clients.

Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
7An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
