Cornerstone, a bipartisan government affairs firm, has announced a joint venture with Anchor Advisors, an independent public-policy consulting firm. The partnership aims to provide policy insights to investors and portfolio companies as the regulatory environment for businesses continues to evolve.
Through this collaboration, clients of Anchor Advisors will have access to Cornerstone’s team of subject matter experts. This is expected to help clients better understand how state and federal policies impact their investment strategies.
Cornerstone was established in 2002 and operates in 15 states as well as Washington, D.C. The firm offers expertise across various sectors such as agriculture, defense, education, energy, health, telecommunications, technology, trade, and transportation and infrastructure.
Anchor Advisors began operations earlier this month. The firm focuses on analyzing market dynamics and policy developments for private equity and private credit firms along with their portfolio companies in the U.S. and internationally.
Geoff Gonella, CEO of Cornerstone, stated: “Federal, state and local policies have long driven the way companies do business, and Cornerstone has built its reputation on guiding clients with thoughtful, innovative solutions. Through this new partnership with Anchor Advisors, our subject matter experts will offer targeted, strategic advice for policy-minded organizations and individuals.”
The partnership will also involve Cornerstone experts participating in events designed to help Anchor’s clients navigate changes in Washington and across state capitals.
Erin Caddell, President of Anchor Advisors said: “Institutional investors have long sought to anticipate how global trends will affect resources, but often lack direct, forward-looking insights on policy from experts themselves. By partnering with Cornerstone, Anchor’s clients will be better positioned to maneuver the risks and opportunities presented by federal and state government actions which are integral to capital allocation and operating decisions.”
The joint effort addresses increasing demands for consulting services that assist investors in understanding regulatory shifts affecting business decisions.
