Advisor Value Proposition
Alphastar wants to get the advisor back into the tasks they enjoy doing. By centralizing all back-office functions, you will gain significant capacity in your day to day life. In addition to back-office support, Alphastar offers complete assistance in all aspects of practice management. The advisor can focus on client-facing activities (i.e. servicing, planning, prospecting) instead of managing their staff and their operations. If the advisor chooses to leverage the financial planning and investment management resources, they will have all the tools necessary to do what is best for their client and more.
Alphastar centralizes planning functions to support advisors in what is recommended to their client.
Alphastar strives to implement processes that allow lead advisors to remove themselves from any responsibilities that don't involve existing clients or prospective clients. Advisors that are currently overburdened by administrative or operational tasks will look forward to Alphastar centralizing resources including billing, trading, marketing, HR, compliance, and more.
Alphastar offers qualified plans, advanced estate planning, risk management, and insurance. Since their parent company is an IMO, Alphastar highly encourages the cross-selling of services, however, it is not required. Advisors also have access to an investment committee they can leverage as a resource. While Alphastar does not currently have a G2 training program, they have annual retreats to promote best practices across all offices.
