John A. Anderson, CLU
Founder and Managing Principal
(973) 285-1000 x3001 · ja@tempewickinvestments.com
John Anderson founded Tempewick Wealth Management in 2006 after a career at one of the most demanding institutions in American private banking. As Vice President at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, he worked with ultra-high-net-worth families on the investment, estate, and insurance architecture that the bank's institutional clientele required.
He founded Tempewick to do that same work without the platform constraints of a large institution — independently, on his own terms, for families that wanted the same level of attention without the bureaucracy. Thirty years into a career in this work, his client roster includes families he has now served across two and three generations.
He holds the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation. He is a member of the Northern New Jersey Estate Planning Council, having served continuously since 2001. He lives in Chester, New Jersey.
A continuous record of independent recognition.
Industry honors of consequence — given for sustained client work, not for marketing presence.

Alpha Alliance — Philadelphia Financial
Selected membership in Philadelphia Financial's Alpha Alliance program, recognizing firms with sustained expertise in private placement insurance architecture.
In estate architecture, I work with families and their attorneys to design structures that will outlast the people creating them. This work is patient. It rewards depth more than speed.
In private placement insurance, I design and administer PPLI and PPVA structures for clients whose tax exposure makes traditional vehicles inefficient. I have spent fifteen years in this work and continue to find it the most technically rewarding part of the practice.
In investment stewardship, I take on discretionary mandates that other firms decline — concentrated positions, complex holdings, and family arrangements that require the strategy and the structure to be designed together.
Member, Northern New Jersey Estate Planning Council, since 2001. The Council brings together estate attorneys, CPAs, trust officers, and wealth advisors who work in this region. The work I do depends on long relationships with people in this room.
Resident of Chester, New Jersey.
