About

Alden Investment Advisors provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and fee‑based financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), other advisors, retirement plans, and nonprofit and institutional clients. The firm also specializes in designing and implementing retirement programs and executive benefits for small and mid‑sized employers and supports participant education and one‑on‑one advisory services for plan participants.

Alden emphasizes customized asset allocations that combine proprietary Alden Capital Management strategies, third‑party managers, mutual funds, and ETFs, with advisors responsible for initial and ongoing suitability determinations. The firm requires its advisors to use the Alden COVE platform, which leverages Amplify for back‑office execution and integrates Pontera to aggregate and professionally manage held‑away accounts for unified household reporting.

Noteworthy distinctions include the mandatory use of Alden COVE and the Pontera integration to extend discretionary oversight to held‑away assets, and a concentrated practice acting as a 3(21)/3(38) fiduciary for employer plans with hands‑on employee education—services that are less common among peers. Alden’s affiliations with a broker‑dealer and other related advisory entities, plus its use of sub‑advisors and proprietary models, create disclosed conflicts of interest that the firm says it manages through supervisory and disclosure practices.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
