About
Aris Alpha LLC serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients with ongoing portfolio management and financial planning services. The firm documents client objectives and risk tolerance in an investment policy statement and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management across a broad set of investment types, including mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, real estate funds, private placements, venture capital, commodities, and annuities.
The firm applies fundamental analysis and a long‑term trading orientation, aiming to align investments with each client’s goals and the firm’s stated fiduciary duties. It also accepts performance‑based compensation for qualified clients and manages both performance‑fee and asset‑based accounts, disclosing the potential incentive to favor performance‑fee accounts and procedures intended to allocate opportunities fairly and apply a high‑water mark.
Distinctive for a small, solo advisory firm, Aris Alpha’s acceptance of performance‑based fees and its use of less commonly offered strategies (private placements, venture capital, and precious‑metal ETFs) set it apart from many peers. The brochure also notes the firm does not aggregate trades across clients and recommends major custodians (including Schwab and Fidelity), from which it may receive research or service benefits that can influence trade execution and resource access.

Forms ADV
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.
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
