Alpha Squared Capital, LLC

Alpha Squared Capital, LLC advises individuals and high-net-worth clients and provides a mix of services including discretionary asset management, standalone financial planning and consulting, and retirement plan consulting for employer plan sponsors. Asset management portfolios may include individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, options and other public or private securities, while financial planning engagements can cover retirement, estate, tax, education planning and business-related analysis.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and offers both active and passive model portfolios, with strategies that include long- and short-term purchases, asset allocation, and the selective use of leveraged or inverse ETFs and options; client accounts are continuously monitored and rebalanced as appropriate. For retirement plan clients the firm assists with investment policy statements, investment option evaluation, asset allocation models, investment monitoring and participant education, and acknowledges its ERISA fiduciary duties when engaged by plans.

Distinctive features include that firm representatives are licensed real estate agents and that the firm offers real-estate-related planning services (real estate analysis, cost segregation studies, mortgage/debt analysis) as separate engagements from its advisory work. The firm also provides ongoing retirement plan consulting to sponsors—an offering less common among independent solo advisers—and operates as a single-advisor practice managing roughly $35 million for about 146 clients.
