About

Alongside, LLC is an SEC‑registered advisory firm managing approximately $878.6 million for about 2,103 client relationships through a 16‑advisor team. The firm offers financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, retirement‑plan consulting, and fractional family office services (provided through an affiliated entity).

The firm’s investment process centers on diversified, long‑term asset allocation informed by a derivative of Modern Portfolio Theory and a mix of fundamental, cyclical, technical and behavioral analysis. Alongside uses proprietary and third‑party model portfolios delivered via Orion and Black Diamond, selects third‑party managers when appropriate, and implements tactical rebalancing and, in some cases, leverage, options and other instruments consistent with client objectives.

What distinguishes Alongside from many peers are its formal affiliations and economic relationships with other advisers and service providers, including an outsourced CIO arrangement with Opal Capital LLC and affiliated advisory entities (e.g., 49 Financial/49 Wealth Management and 818 Family Office), as well as advisory professionals who are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer. Those affiliations underpin its fractional family office offering (with a $10 million net‑worth/$5 million liquid minimum), involve disclosed fee‑sharing and economic incentives (including loans and marketing relationships), and are called out in the brochure as potential conflicts of interest for clients to consider.
