About

Alterna Wealth provides investment advisory and portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, institutions and charitable organizations, delivering both discretionary and non‑discretionary services and recommending model strategies. A substantial portion of its client base is outside the United States, with many clients referred through a former Mexican affiliate.

The firm describes a disciplined, global approach to asset allocation and diversification across markets, currencies and instruments, using dynamic models that support conservative, moderate, ETF‑oriented and quantitative styles and incorporating third‑party model recommendations where appropriate. Its investment process combines quantitative analysis, technical/charting methods and an in‑house trading desk, and may include allocations to affiliated or unaffiliated funds as part of portfolio construction.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include affiliation with an affiliated broker‑dealer and related entities, along with shared‑services and fee‑sharing arrangements and use of the affiliate for trade execution, which the firm acknowledges as a potential conflict and describes policies to mitigate. The firm also accepts performance‑based compensation arrangements for eligible clients and presents its offerings primarily as portfolio management rather than comprehensive financial planning.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor.
