Anderson Growth Partners

Anderson Growth Partners

Anderson Growth Partners traces its origins to 1997 when Clyde Anderson established the firm to serve the Anderson family’s needs after building Books-A-Million into a national retailer. The office opened to outside clients in 2005 after SEC registration and has since expanded its platform to include multiple internally managed vehicles. The investment program spans public markets through curated liquid alternatives, private equity partnerships with external GPs, direct co-investments tied to the Anderson family’s operating businesses, and real estate projects that leverage longstanding developer relationships. Geographic focus remains North America. The firm launched its private equity program in 2002, introduced a fund-of-funds strategy in 2010, and seeded AGP Focus Capital in 2020. Confirmed positions and relationships include board service at Alliance Laundry Holdings and executive roles at Cavender’s. Assets under advisory reached $500 million by 2019. The team includes ten professionals across investment, accounting, compliance, and investor relations roles. Additional offices operate in Charleston, South Carolina. Clyde Anderson also serves as Chairman of the BDTCP Fund Advisory Committee. No material operational changes were reported in the last twenty-four months. The firm’s structure originated as a single-family vehicle and evolved into a registered multi-family office that continues to integrate investment management with strategic planning for families connected to operating companies. This hybrid model allows direct participation in opportunities that align with the Anderson family’s commercial interests while maintaining separate advisory mandates for external clients.
