Alpha Prime Capital vs. The Industry Standard

Unfortunately the standard investment manager’s main incentive is to accumulate as many clients as possible, simply putting them in the same un-customized investment model that on average underperforms the designated benchmark. They may claim to be active mangers, but often times they turn out to be fee-intensive closet-indexers due to fears of falling behind in performance. At APC, we set out to destroy this low-level standard and strive to provide a high-level custom tailored investment solution. You are an individual and you deserve to receive a customized service based upon your needs. One of the biggest issues to overcome when switching investment managers is the status quo bias. As with anything in life, you should always take a step back and reflect periodically. Questions to ask yourself are:

How do my returns compare to Alpha Prime Capital’s returns?

Am I leaving money on the table through lackluster investment strategy?

Just because I was with my current investment manager for the past 10 years, does that mean I shouldn’t change?

What should my current investment manager be doing differently that Alpha Prime Capital already offers its clients?
