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.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
