Anderson Growth Partners

Anderson Growth Partners is an investment management and consulting firm based in Charleston, SC, serving families and businesses with customized financial strategies. Originally founded in 1997 to meet the needs of the entrepreneurial Anderson family, the firm has evolved into an SEC-registered multi-family office with a focus on growth-oriented alternative investments that aim to deliver returns with minimal correlation to public markets. The firm offers a range of services including private equity partnerships, direct co-investments, real estate opportunities, and curated portfolios of liquid alternative investments. While not a traditional accounting firm, Anderson Growth Partners maintains an in-house accounting function with a full-time team, reflecting its integrated approach to financial management and strategic advisory services. The firm serves clients across the United States, with a primary presence in Charleston and Birmingham.

The firm was established by Clyde Anderson, Executive Chairman of Books-A-Million, one of the nation’s largest book retailers, who founded AGP with a vision to create a long-term, value-driven investment platform. Over time, AGP expanded its services to include internally managed investment vehicles such as Anderson Opportunity Capital and Anderson Alternative Capital, and launched AGP Focus Capital in 2020. The firm relocated its headquarters to Charleston in 2017, solidifying its presence in the region. With a history rooted in family-driven finance and strategic business development, AGP emphasizes direct investment opportunities tied to its network and long-standing relationships with developers and industry leaders.

Anderson Growth Partners is known for its disciplined, alternative-focused investment strategy and its deep integration of financial advisory with operational insight. The firm’s evolution from a single-family office to a multi-family investment platform reflects its commitment to sustainable growth and tailored solutions. As a trusted advisor to families and businesses in Charleston and beyond, AGP combines entrepreneurial experience with institutional rigor to support long-term capital appreciation and strategic financial planning.
