About

Focused Alpha, LLC is a SEC-registered advisory firm managing roughly $664 million for a multi-advisor team and advising individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, corporations, retirement plans, and certain public entities. It offers discretionary portfolio management, standalone and integrated financial planning, 401(k) plan consulting and participant education, and periodic workshops and seminars.

The firm describes a rules-based, behaviorally informed investment process that emphasizes tail-risk management and “emotion-free” decision making (an “ESP” approach), using quantitative optimization, technical and computer-based analysis to construct portfolios. Portfolios typically include stocks, ETFs, mutual funds and fixed income and may incorporate options, digital assets, structured products, and the use of third-party sub-advisers accessed through Fidelity’s FMAX platform.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include operating portfolio management exclusively as a wrap-fee program sponsor and disclosing that advisory personnel are also licensed to sell insurance and may receive commissions for insurance product sales. The brochure also identifies municipal and other government entities among its client types and discloses the firm’s principals’ outside business investments and relationships, which the firm notes can create referral or conflict-of-interest considerations.

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.

Find your advisor

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
