Item 4 – Advisory Business
Firm Description
Aliya Capital Partners LLC (“Aliya” or the “Adviser”) was organized in October of 2020 to offer fee-based
investment advice, consulting and related wealth and corporate advisory services to its clients including
individuals, high net worth clients, companies, foundations, pooled investment companies, governmental
agencies, and endowments. Clients may select from a range of investment management services, including
discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory, portfolio management (implemented by Aliya or an
independent third-party manager), investment consulting and financial planning. Aliya advisors may be
specialists in areas such as wealth management, investment consulting, portfolio management, asset
allocation, cash management, and/or financial or estate planning.
Investment advice is provided on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, with each client making
the final decision on investment selection when being advised on a non- discretionary basis. When the
Adviser is advising clients on a discretionary basis, Aliya may make the final investment decisions and
place trades for clients under a limited power of attorney. Aliya Capital Partners LLC does not act as a
custodian of client assets; therefore, the client always maintains asset control.
Principal Owners
Aliya is a Delaware limited liability company based in Miami, Florida. Its principal owners are Aliya Capital LLC
a Delaware Limited Liability Company Ultimately owned by Ross Menachem Kestin and Leste Holding LLC a
Delaware LLC ultimately owned by Emmanuel Hermann. For more information, related to the ownership or
management structure of the Adviser, please contact Aliya, or visit www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Types of Advisory Services
Aliya Capital Partners LLC provides investment and supervisory services. More specifically, Aliya
provides Asset Management Services, Advisory Services, and furnishes investment advice through
consultations on both a fixed fee and/or hourly basis.
On more than an occasional basis, Aliya Capital Partners LLC furnishes advice to clients on matters not
involving securities, such as financial planning matters, taxation issues, and trust services that may
include estate planning.
Tailored Relationships
The goals and objectives for each client are documented by the Adviser and typically will vary by client.
Investment policy statements may be created that reflect the stated goals and objectives of each client.
ALIYA’s Investment Adviser Representatives (“IARs”) work with their clients to identify their investment
goals and objectives, as well as risk tolerance, in order to create an initial portfolio allocation designed to
complement the client’s financial situation and personal circumstances.
The initial meeting to review clients’ investment portfolios may be conducted by telephone or in person and
is free of charge. The initial meeting is considered an exploratory interview to determine the extent to which
financial planning and investment management may be beneficial to each potential and current client.
The IAR may periodically rebalance the client’s account to maintain the initially agreed upon strategic and
4 | Pa g e
tactical asset allocation. However, no changes are made to the agreed-upon asset allocation in non-
discretionary accounts without prior client review and consent.
Clients have ready access to their respective IAR. IAR’s are not required to be available for unscheduled or
unannounced visits by clients. However, IARs are expected to periodically meet with clients and should
generally be available to take client telephone calls on advisory-related matters. Each client has the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the type of investments to be held in the portfolio.
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) may be recommended to clients or
engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest related to recommendations of
other professionals will be disclosed to the client in the event they should occur.
Aliya’s’ Agreements may not be assigned without client consent.
Types of Agreements
Aliya does not participate in wrap fee programs by providing portfolio management services. The following
agreements define the typical client relationships.
Advisory Service Agreement
Most clients choose to have Aliya Capital Partners LLC manage their assets in order to obtain ongoing in-
depth advice and investment planning. All aspects of the client’s financial affairs are reviewed, which may
include those of their children. Realistic and measurable goals are set and objectives to reach those goals
are defined. As goals and objectives change over time, suggestions are made and implemented on an
ongoing basis.
The scope of work and fee for an Advisory Service Agreement is provided to the client in writing prior to the
start of the relationship. An Advisory Service Agreement includes: cash flow management; investment
management (including performance reporting); education planning; retirement planning; estate planning; as
well as the implementation of recommendations within each area.
The annual Advisory Service Agreement fee is based on a percentage of the investable assets and/or the
services provided. Fees are negotiable and can range from 0.10% to 1.75%.
The minimum annual fee is $1,000 and is negotiable with each client. Client relationships may be
established and exist where the fees are higher or lower than the fee schedules provided above.
Hourly Planning Engagements
Aliya Capital Partners LLC provides hourly advisory and/or planning services for clients who need advice on
a limited scope of work. The hourly rate for limited scope engagements varies, yet will not exceed
$500 per hour.
5 | Pa g e
Asset Management
Client’s portfolio may consist of a variety of financial products, including, but not limited to exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, equities, options, bonds, private placements and potentially other products.
The investment strategies utilized, and portfolios constructed and managed depend on the individual client’s
investment objectives and goals as provided to the IAR. Initial public offerings (“IPO’s”) may be available
through custodian partners and will be evaluated on a one of basis. Please note that investment products
are typically purchased or sold through a brokerage account when appropriate. The brokerage firm typically
charges a fee for investment products and Aliya almost exclusively recommends clients to the clearing agent
or custodian of the client.
Securities transactions are typically effected through an unaffiliated custodian, such as Charles Schwab &
Co. Inc., an advisory custodian platform and prime broker clearing firm, a California company and a
member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and Securities Investor Protection
Corporation (SIPC). Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. may act as custodian for client accounts and executes,
clears and settles securities trades. Aliya has also entered into a clearing arrangement with Select broker-
dealer Securities to introduce accounts into Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. as custodian and may clear and
settle trades (provide “Brokerage Services”) to the advisory clients of the Firm.
The annual Asset Management Service Agreement fee is based on a percentage of the investable assets and/or
the services provided. Fees are negotiable and can range from 0.10% to 1.75%.
The minimum annual fee is $1,000 and is negotiable with each client. Client relationships may be
established and exist where the fees are higher or lower than the fee schedules provided above.
Please be advised that clients may choose to utilize a different broker-dealer, aside from those
recommended by Aliya and similar products and services may be purchased for a lower cost than offered
by the Firm.
Assets Under Management
Aliya Capital Partners has $1,976,717,422 in assets under management (“AUM”) as of March 31, 2025,
consisting of $1,954,998,298 of discretionary managed assets and $21,719,124 of non-discretionary managed
assets. Aliya’s discretionary assets include assets of the 53 Private Funds that the adviser provides investment
management services to.

_
Termination of Agreement
Although the Advisory Service Agreement is an ongoing agreement and constant adjustments are required,
the length of service to the client is at the client’s discretion. The client or the investment manager may
terminate an Agreement by written notice to the other party with a (30) thirty – day advance notice or as
agreed upon otherwise between the client and the Adviser.
If an agreement is terminated during a period in which the client has already paid Aliya its advisory fees in
advance, then the Adviser will reimburse, on a pro-rated basis, the remaining advisory fees collected for any
service not rendered; these fees will be sent to the client’s address of record, unless otherwise directed by
the client, within (30) days of termination of the agreement.
6 | Pa g e
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Description
Aliya Capital Partners LLC bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management,
hourly charges, or fixed fees.
Some fees may be priced on an hourly basis (i.e., in connection with a client’s request to
review existing portfolios).
At the specific request of a client, and on an exception basis only, discretionary management
services previously described may be offered for a performance fee. This means that our
fees would be based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s assets.
Any performance fee arrangements will comply with Section 205-3 of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. To qualify for a performance-based fee, the client must either have at
least $1.1 million in assets under management with us or provide us with documentation
evidencing that the client has a net worth of at least $2.2 million or is a “qualified purchaser”
under Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The performance fee
charged will be negotiated with the client and will depend upon the total assets under our
management. The performance fee may be coupled with an asset- based fee. The fee
schedule will be disclosed in the client agreement before any services are provided. The fee
is payable quarterly and in arrears.
Some fixed fees may be priced based on the complexity of work, especially when asset
management is not the most significant part of the relationship.
All fees are negotiable between the Adviser and each client.
Fee Billing
All fees are billed quarterly, in arrears, meaning that we invoice you after the three-month
billing period has ended. Payment in full is expected upon invoice presentation. Aliya may
also debit relevant fees directly from accounts maintained at unaffiliated custodians such as
custodian Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. Broker-Dealer. The client must consent in advance to
direct debiting of their investment account.
Hourly and Fixed Fees are also invoiced in arrears, with the balance due upon delivery of
the specific advice or services provided or as otherwise agreed upon between the client and
the Adviser.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain investment
products, including, but not limited to mutual funds and exchange- traded funds. These
transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security.
The selection of the security is considered more important than the nominal fee that the
custodian charges to buy or sell the security.
Aliya Capital Partners LLC, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum fee and/or charge a
lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type
of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with
clients, etc.).
Expense Ratios
7 | Pa g e
Mutual funds generally charge a management fee for their services as investment
managers. The management fee is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio
of 0.50 means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their services. These fees
are in addition to the fees paid by you to Aliya Capital Partners LLC.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications are after their
fees have been deducted.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
Aliya Capital Partners LLC reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than
(10) ten days overdue and reserves the right to terminate any engagement where a client has
willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about financial situations
when necessary and appropriate, in Aliya Capital Partners LLC’s judgment, to providing
proper financial advice. Any unused portion of fees collected in advance will be refunded
within (30) thirty days as previously described in the Brochure.
Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
As described in Item 5 above, Aliya Capital Partners may charge performance-based fees (fees
based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the managed assets of a client)
in connection with its discretionary advisory services. Performance-based fees will be charged
only for accounts of “qualified clients” as such term is defined by the SEC under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, specifically Rule 205-3. Additionally, in connection with the advisory
services provided to the offshore funds, Aliya and certain of its officers or employees and
related entities may receive incentive compensation that is tied explicitly to the performance of
the particular fund. A description of how the performance-based fees are calculated and when
such fees are due is set forth more fully in the fund’s private placement memorandum. The
existence of this type of compensation arrangement may create an incentive for Aliya to cause
a fund to make or recommend that the fund makes riskier or more speculative investments
than would be the case in the absence of the performance-based compensation arrangement.
Certain separately managed accounts and certain offshore funds may not be charged such a
performance-based fee. The management of accounts and funds that pay a performance-
based fee alongside accounts and funds that pay only an asset-based fee may create
additional conflicts of interest. An investment adviser may have an incentive to favor the
performance-based fee accounts when allocating promising or profitable investment
opportunities and may avoid allocating less promising or unprofitable investment opportunities
to such accounts. We believe that this conflict of interest is mitigated to the extent that the
accounts and funds have distinct investment strategies. Where there are crossovers in
strategies, the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer is tasked with identifying irregularities or abuses
in the allocation of an investment idea or opportunity.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Description
Aliya Capital Partners LLC provides investment advice and services to individuals, family
offices, pooled investment companies, governmental agencies, institutions, trusts, estates,
corporations and other business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of
service.
Account Minimums
8 | Pa g e
The minimum account size is typically $100,000 of assets under management, yet
depending upon circumstances, Aliya has the discretion to waive the account minimum. For
instance, accounts of less than $100,000 may be set up when the client and the Adviser
anticipate that the client will add additional funds to the accounts bringing the total to
$100,000 within a reasonable period of time. Other exceptions will apply to employees of
Aliya and their relatives, or relatives of existing clients.
Clients receiving ongoing asset management services will be assessed a $1,000 minimum annual fee.
Clients with assets below the minimum account size may pay a higher percentage rate on their
annual fees than the fees paid by clients with greater assets under management.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis,
and cyclical analysis.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, inspections
of corporate activities, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services,
timing services, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and company press releases.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the client
during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Aliya’s’
investment strategies may vary greatly per client and include both passive and/or active
asset management.
Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short
sales, margin transactions, and option writing (including covered options, uncovered options
or spreading strategies).
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
risks:
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible
events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of
a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and
social conditions may trigger market events.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much
as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates
to fixed income securities.
9 | Pa g e
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry
a higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from
a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the
risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in
good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan
obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
The above risks are not meant to represent all risks associated with investing, and
investments typically carry the potential for a loss of your total investment. Please discuss
the risks associated with investing with your IAR to ensure you are comfortable with the
level of risks in your portfolio.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Legal and Disciplinary
The Adviser and its employees have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or
present investment clients.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities
As previously disclosed in this brochure, Aliya is under common control with the Leste Group
which also owns the following other affiliated entities that provide financial services, and/or
other industry related activities:
Legal Name
Primary Business Name
Leste Capital Partners
(Florida), LLC
Leste USA, LLC
Leste Capital
Partners (Florida),
LLC
Leste USA, LLC
Affiliations
As previously disclosed in this brochure, there are affiliated companies in common control
with the Leste Group and Aliya that are material to its advisory of its clients with potential
referral business to related group entities. Leste USA, LLC and Leste Capital Partners, LLC
are affiliated companies under common control and conduct activities from the same office
location in the United States, as such, share common facilities, infrastructure, vendors, as
10 | Pa g e
well maintain various dually associated personnel including the same Chief Compliance
Officer. In addition, these companies share a number of common clients although each
entity is approved for separate business activities in the United States.
Fortune Partners Group is formerly registered Advisory firm under common control with
Aliya, principally for its executive officer, Mr. Ross Menachem Kestin and as a result of such
relationships, the potential for conflict exists. Aliya has succeeded as the Adviser to former
Fortune Partners Group clients by way of executing new agreements with each referred
client.
Additionally, Aliya is affiliated with Aliya Sports Finance GP LLC which serves as a General
Partner to a private fund that Aliya manages.
Aliya maintains a strict full disclosure policy and robust procedures to mitigate and
adequately handle any conflicts that arise between its affiliated entities. The fees and
commissions charged by the Firm and related affiliate in which Aliya refers its clients may
potentially be found at a lesser cost.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
The Advisors Act imposes a fiduciary duty on Investment Advisors. As a fiduciary, Aliya has a duty
of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients. Our clients entrust us
with their funds and/or investments, which in turn places a high standard on our conduct and
integrity. Our fiduciary duty compels all employees to act with the utmost integrity in all of their
dealings. This fiduciary duty is the core principle underlying our “Code of Ethics” and represents the
expected basis of all of our dealings with our clients. The Code includes policies and procedures
developed to protect client’s interests in relation to the following topics:
• The duty at all times to place the interests of clients first.
• The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in such a
manner as to be consistent with the code of ethics and to avoid any actual or
potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an employee’s position of trust and
responsibility.
• The principle that investment advisor personnel should not take inappropriate
advantage of their positions.
• The fiduciary principle that information concerning the identity of security
holdings and financial circumstances of clients is confidential; and
• The principle that independence in the investment decision-making process is
paramount.
We will provide a copy of the Code to any client or prospective client upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
IAR’s of Aliya Capital Partners LLC may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients;
however, the Adviser and its employees may not trade their own securities ahead of client
trades. Employees must comply with the provisions of the Adviser’s Compliance Policies
and Procedures, as well as Code of Ethics.
Personal Trading
11 | Pa g e
The Chief Compliance Officer of Aliya Capital Partners LLC is Yerach Holtz. Mr. Holtz and/or
his designees review all employee trades each quarter or more frequently as conducted.
The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees does not affect
the markets, and that clients of the Adviser receive preferential treatment.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokerage Firms
As previously disclosed in this brochure, Aliya has arrangements that are material to its
advisory of its clients with the selection of executing brokers and clearing agents where
applicable. As a result of these relationships, the potential for conflict exists in that Aliya
typically refers all clients to select clearing firm or select broker-dealer. The fees and
commissions charged by the Firm and a broker-dealer in which Aliya refers its clients may
potentially be found at a lesser cost.
Best Execution
Aliya Capital Partners LLC reviews the execution of trades at its custodian and executing
brokers on a periodic basis, no less than quarterly. The review is documented by the Adviser
via report review from its clearing agents or individual ticket review where applicable by
product.
12 | Pa g e
Soft Dollars
Aliya Capital Partners LLC does not currently maintain any soft dollar arrangements.
Order Aggregation
From time to time, we may determine that the purchase or sale of a particular security
is appropriate for multiple advisory client accounts, based on a variety of reasons. When
this happens, we may determine that it is appropriate in the interests of efficient and
effective execution to attempt to execute the trade orders as one or more block trades
(i.e., aggregate the individual trade for each account into one or more trade orders).
These circumstances may, in turn, give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest
among the accounts for whom the security purchase or sale is appropriate, and among
the subset of those accounts participating in a block trade, especially if the block trade
order results in a partial fill. To address these conflicts, we have adopted certain policies
and procedures that we follow when aggregating trades in an effort to provide an
objective and equitable method of trade allocation so that all clients are treated fairly.
The basic objectives of these policies and procedures are as follows:
1. We will only aggregate trades when we believe that the aggregation is
consistent with our duty to seek best execution for our clients.
2. We will strive to ensure that no client account is favored over any other client
account; and
3. Each account that participates in an aggregated transaction shall participate at
the average of the executed share price for that security, with all transaction
costs shared on a pro rata basis.
Trade Error Policy
From time to time, errors may occur in the trading process, including (1) overbuying or
overselling of securities, into or out of an account, caused by clerical errors made by our
personnel, or (2) buying or selling of securities, into or out of an account, which is in
violation of a client's stated
investment guidelines that had been previously
communicated to us in writing.
In all cases of a trade error caused by us, it is our policy to endeavor to resolve the error
in the best interest of the client and adjust the trade as needed to put the client’s account
in such a position as if the error had not occurred. Where our trade error results in a gain
and the client is unable or restricted from receiving that gain for any reason, we will
donate the gain to charity.
Item 13 – Review of
Accounts Periodic Reviews
Account reviews are performed periodically, no less than quarterly by each IAR and by
their supervisors. Account reviews are performed more frequently when market
conditions dictate and as requested by Aliya’s ‘clients.
Review Triggers
Other conditions that may trigger a review are changes in the tax laws, new investment
information, and changes in a client's own situation.
13 | Pa g e
Regular Reports
Account reviewers are members of the Firm’s Compliance Department, with the
assistance of IARs of the Adviser. They are instructed to consider the client's current
security positions and the likelihood that the performance of each security will contribute
to the investment objectives of the client.
Clients receive periodic communications on at least an annual basis and where
applicable, will receive an account statement or performance report no less than
quarterly, and often monthly as activity dictates.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
Aliya Capital Partners LLC, from time to time, receives client referrals, including referrals
from its affiliated entities in common control of the Leste Group. The referrals often come
from current clients, attorneys, accountants, employees, personal friends of employees
and other similar sources. When Aliya uses solicitors, such as financial intermediaries
to obtain new clients, it will comply with the solicitation rule.
In these cases, the Adviser follows a strict disclosure requirement for client’s subject to
the referral rule to include solicitor’s verification letter as well as a contractual agreement
stipulating the responsibilities thereunder to its clients.
Referrals Out
Aliya Capital Partners does not currently accept referral fees or any form of remuneration
from other professionals when a prospect or client is referred to them.
Other Compensation
Officers and IAR’s direct certain brokerage transactions. In this capacity, they may
facilitate the purchase and/or sale of securities, and other investment products for their
clients, who may or may not have an advisory fee agreement with Aliya. Clients are not
required to use a specific broker/dealer to retain the services of the Advisor.
Investment products purchased or sold in broker/dealer accounts may generate
transaction fees that would not exist if the purchase or sale were made directly through
the issuer of the security, such as a mutual fund company. Mutual funds held in
broker/dealer accounts also charge management fees. These Mutual fund management
fees may be more or less than the mutual fund management fees charged if the client
held the mutual fund directly with the mutual fund company. These management fees are
in addition to the management fee charged by the Adviser.
14 | Pa g e
Item 15 – Custody
Account Statements
Aliya does not have custody of client assets; however, due to Aliya and/or its affiliates
role as General Partner to Aliya’s private fund clients, Aliya is deemed to have custody
of its private fund client assets. Client assets are generally held at qualified custodians,
which means the custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their
address of record at least quarterly. Additionally, Aliya’s private fund clients are subject
to annual audits of the fund’s financial statements by an independent public accountant
and the audited financial statements are distributed to the investors in the fund. Finally,
each fund engages an independent third party fund administrator that sends account
statements at least quarterly to the investors in the private funds.
Performance Reports
Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their
custodians to any performance reports provided by Aliya, or even discussions or other
communications between the client and the Adviser.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
Aliya Capital Partners LLC may accept discretionary authority to manage securities
accounts on behalf of clients. Aliya has the authority to determine, without obtaining
specific client consent, the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the
securities to be bought or sold. However, Aliya consults with the client prior to each trade
to obtain concurrence if a blanket trading authorization has not been given.
Discretionary trading authority facilitates placing trades in your accounts on your behalf
so that we may promptly implement the investment policy that you have approved in
writing.
Limited Power of Attorney
A limited power of attorney is a trading authorization for this purpose. You sign a limited
power of attorney so that we may execute the trades that you have approved.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
Aliya Capital Partners LLC does not vote proxies on securities; thus, clients are expected to
vote their own proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Financial Condition
15 | Pa g e
Aliya Capital Partners LLC does not have any financial impairment that will preclude
the firm from meeting contractual commitments to clients.
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because Aliya does not serve as a
custodian for client funds or securities, and does not require prepayment of fees of more
than $1,200 per client, and six months or more in advance.
16 | Pa g e
Business Continuity Plan
General
Aliya Capital Partners LLC has a Business Continuity Plan in place that provides
detailed steps to mitigate and recover from the loss of office space, communications,
services or key persons.
Disasters
The Business Continuity Plan covers natural disasters such as snowstorms,
hurricanes, tornados, and flooding. The Plan covers man-made disasters such as loss
of electrical power, loss of water pressure, fire, bomb threat, nuclear emergency,
chemical event, biological event (as well as infectious decease pandemics), line
outage, Internet outage, railway accident and aircraft accident. Electronic files are
backed up daily and archived offsite and in the cloud.
Alternate Offices
Working remotely from home as well as alternate offices and methods of
communication are identified to support ongoing operations in the event the main office
is unavailable. It is our intention to contact all clients promptly after a disaster that
dictates moving our office to an alternate location.
