Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Alpha Dog Advisors, RUFF or one who fits your needs even better.

Alpha Dog Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also offers model portfolios and advisory services to other registered investment advisers and plan sponsors. The firm manages both Core ETF model portfolios and rules-based models for individual accounts and provides non-discretionary allocation advice for third-party retirement accounts, in addition to optional cash‑flow, tax‑reduction, and estate‑planning coordination services. The firm follows a hybrid investment approach focused on income and principal protection, negotiating structured notes with large investment banks that include downside protection and targeting dividend-like payouts generally between nine and eighteen percent. Portfolios are hedged—typically at least 50% and up to 100% per client timeline and risk profile—using structured notes, private equity for accredited investors, and short-term inverse ETFs, while core security selection is driven by a proprietary Analysis System and a Price‑to‑Free‑Cash‑Flow empirical study underlying its model construction. Distinctive features include a client mix that explicitly serves other investment advisers and employer retirement platforms, and the firm’s representatives’ participation in insurance distribution through field marketing organizations (e.g., Universal Financial Consultants and BackNine) for fixed index life products, which the brochure discloses can create commission conflicts of interest. The firm also disclosed a 2024 SEC order resolving failures related to marketing and books-and-records, and states it has paid a civil penalty and complied with prescribed undertakings.
