Alpha Solutions Investment Advisors

Alpha Solutions Investment Advisors is a California-based firm founded in 2010 and registered with the SEC. As a Registered Investment Advisor, the firm specializes in providing continuous customized wealth management solutions on a discretionary basis tailored to each client's specific needs. They manage portfolios containing diversified allocations from major asset classes, including domestic and foreign stocks, fixed income, ETFs, REITs, MLPs, and preferred stock. The firm typically does not include mutual funds in client portfolios unless already owned. They offer investment advice on cash management, currency hedging, asset allocation, and alternative asset classes like real estate and private equity. The firm operates as a fee-only advisor, meaning they do not receive commissions from securities transactions, ensuring alignment with client interests. Fees are calculated based on the market value of each account at the end of the prior quarter and are billed quarterly in arrears. The fee schedule is tiered based on assets under management, with negotiable rates depending on complexity and services provided. Clients have the option to grant discretionary authority to manage their accounts, allowing Alpha Solutions to make investment decisions without prior approval. The firm may aggregate trades when advantageous to clients, and they do not charge performance-based fees. Clients have full control over selecting a custodian for their accounts, and the firm does not vote client securities. The firm's team includes Anthony Sam, Robert N. Moses Jr., and Nathalie Botros Lai, each bringing a unique background and expertise to the firm. They adhere to strict ethical standards and conduct annual reviews of client accounts to ensure alignment with investment objectives and guidelines. The team is committed to providing professional and personalized investment advisory services to help clients achieve their financial goals.
