Alpha Innovations

Welcome to the Next Generation of Asset Management

Creating Wealth

Access to Opportunity

Alpha Innovations (AI) is an unique asset management platform designed to provide uncommonly attractive investment options for investors seeking the creation and preservation of strong returns.

The AI platform is comprised of a diverse array of investment strategies managed by who we believe are best-in-breed portfolio managers, meticulously selected or custom-designed to extract alpha from investments strategies.

With thousands of fund managers globally running what are in many cases complicated investment strategies, it is extremely challenging to find quality managers and determine if they are capable of producing strong, persistent returns. The AI team is composed of individuals from some of the world’s most notable financial firms, including Goldman Sachs, Point72, Balyasny, and Morgan Stanley, and has decades of success both investing at premier investment firms and constructing portfolios of these talented portfolio managers. Alpha Innovations utilizes this skill and experience to create both single and multistrategy products in managed account and fund form.

Alpha Innovations Ltd. is regulated in in the U.S. by the CFTC/NFA as a Commodity Trading Advisor and Commodity Pool Operator and is an authorized Investment Manager by the Central Bank of Ireland.

The Value Proposition

Explore What We Are Doing Differently

Generating returns is becoming increasingly difficult. Learn how we create value for our investors….

Brass Tacks

A portfolio manager's value rests in his/her ability to generate and preserve returns independent of broader market performance, known as alpha. Investors can attain market returns (beta) for free. Managers are only earning their keep if they're producing alpha, and those are the only kind of managers we target.

Scarcity of Alpha

With behemoth investment firms combing the broad market for opportunities, competition is fierce. At Alpha Innovations, we focus on niche strategies and markets, where there is less competition. Uncovering these opportunities requires a great deal of work, but that is a key piece of the Alpha Innovations value proposition.

Access to Niche Managers

Both empirical research and our own experience have shown that smaller investment managers generate more alpha, but many are uninvestible as they lack the necessary infrastructure. The AI platform provides the required scaffolding around these managers to make their returns accessible to our sophisticated investors.

Flexibility Is Key

The more boxes allocators have to check, the greater the odds are stacked against them. The core aim of our business is finding strategies that can produce strong performance and the best investment talent to harvest those opportunities. We excel at creating innovative structures and developing novel solutions to access alpha where and how we find it -- another large part of our strategic advantage.

Moving the Industry Forward

Solving the Industry's legacy problems

Beyond deep experience in accessing investment talent, the AI team has been strategically assembled to have the depth of knowledge and experience required to create solutions for asset management’s legacy problems.

AI’s products are custom-engineered to solve the issues which make investing in traditional asset management funds unappealing to sophisticated investors, including:

Uncompelling performance
Lack of custody and control of assets
Inadequate transparency
Layering of fees
Embedded market beta and fees on that beta

Lackluster risk management and oversight
Fund governance issues
