Our Services
Alterity Financial Group combines more than 60 years of experience with modern insight to create custom investment portfolios for each of our clients. Whether you’re new to long-term money management or looking for help with your small business, our advisors can ensure you stay on the right track.
•Discretionary Portfolio Management
A discretion agreement allows your portfolio manager to make purchases or sales on your behalf at their discretion to take advantage of market volatility. This agreement requires a great deal of trust on behalf of the client. It should only be offered by Investment Advisors and Advisor Representatives with a collective number of years of industry experience. Our discretionary portfolios and investments are closely monitored and evaluated continuously. Any changes in a discretionary portfolio are based on the client’s goals and objectives.
•Sub-Advisory and Institutional Services
Alterity Financial Group provides sub-advisory and DVP investment services for institutional clients and “held away” assets for trustees and administrators. Our execution and equity pricing are some of the lowest in the industry, and our fixed-income inventory and network of primary and secondary dealers are second to none. Non-equity based securities are not available through traditional channels or exchanges and are more difficult to obtain. Unlike equities, their availability, pricing, and liquidity information are typically not listed. Our available offerings and new issue access are something we have worked hard to build over time. We can provide both syndicate and secondary market securities for your end client needs. At attractive rates, our institutional pricing and sub-advisory fees allow for significant portfolio diversification, structure, credit analysis, and professional laddering.
Our asset allocation models, model portfolios, and strategies can further assist you in delivering both risk management and portfolio objectives for your institutional or sub-advisory needs. Let us help you satisfy your fiduciary obligations with personalized service, access, availability, and money management you won’t get from a fund or fund of funds.
•Self-Directed and Consulting Services
For those individuals who don’t feel comfortable delegating the responsibility of investment selection to their Advisor Representative, our consulting and self-directed services are designed for investors who want to make those decisions on their behalf. Although no action would be taken without your direction, your Advisor Representative will be available to provide the guidance you need or answer your questions when it’s time to make a change. We will always be available to assist you and ensure you invest in the right direction.
•Asset Allocation Models
We have developed six allocation models to accommodate your risk tolerance and investment objectives. These models range from Preservation of Principal to Capital Appreciation with Aggressive Growth for investors with a higher tolerance for risk or a longer investment time frame. From these models, we build individual portfolios and investment strategies using our proprietary working list of equity selections broken down by sector. Our portfolios and processes are designed with a multi-faceted approach, including qualitative, fundamental, and technical analysis, valuation, and several other factors.
•Retirement Planning
It’s never too late or too soon to start planning for retirement. We can help you to balance your investments and show you how to invest for the long run. Our advisor’s expertise can assist you in making sure that you are comfortable when the time comes for you to retire. Our retirement services include Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, Simple IRAs, and 401(k)s.
•Small Businesses Solutions
Beyond personal finances, our small business solutions can assist in growth, stabilization, and investment to keep your company running smoothly. We offer retirement plans for small businesses, including SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, Traditional and Roth IRAs, and 401(k)s.
•Online Trading
We advise seasoned investors and those new to the financial markets. Self-directed traders can use our professional services to assist them with investments in stocks, bonds, and options. They can process certain transactions online on their behalf using our custodial trading platform.
•Investment Products and Funds
In addition to stocks and bonds, we offer Mutual Funds, Annuities, Money Market Funds, ETFs and CDs. Alterity Financial’s custodian partner, Charles Schwab, is one of the industry leaders in low-cost and commission-free ETFs.
•Financial Planning Services
Tell us your goals, and we can help create a path to get you there. Your Alterity Financial advisor can help whether your goal is to buy a home or investment property, put your kids through school, or retire.
•Fixed Income Strategies
Our money management services extend to clients looking to ensure their investment income can grow and get them through retirement. Alterity Financial has extensive access to taxable corporate and tax-free municipal bonds and a wealth of experience building bond ladders and fixed-income portfolios for all levels of investing.
•Estate Planning
Keep your assets well-managed in our competent hands. We can help you manage whatever you own and ensure it’s protected and secure. We have built strong relationships with attorneys, accountants, and other professionals we are happy to work with and refer you to for any assistance in creating your estate plan.
•Account Protections
Our account protections include SIPC and FDIC (for select Bank Sweep Accounts and CDs) to secure your finances.
