Alpha Advisors, LLC
Item 4 - ADVISORY BUSINESS
Alpha Advisors, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Alpha Advisors”) is an investment advisory firm
offering a variety of advisory services customized to your (hereinafter referred to as “Client”)
individual needs.
Alpha Advisors was established in February 2001. Alexander Scott, Mark Leimberger and Sarah
Byrd are the owners of the firm.
Alpha Advisors offers discretionary management of marketable securities portfolios.
In addition to portfolio management, other services include, but are not limited to, cash flow
analysis, limited financial planning to support investment decisions, coordination with a Client’s
other financial professionals, such as attorney and/or accountant, and consulting on various financial
issues.
Upon completion of an initial analysis, we will determine an asset allocation customized to the
Client’s financial goals, objectives and risk tolerance. In the course of developing an investment
plan, we develop a suitable model portfolio and customize the model as needed to accommodate any
unique limitations or restrictions required by Client’s circumstances.
An advisor will schedule a meeting with Client and present an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”)
that describes the recommended portfolio allocation, including, costs to restructuring, limitations due
to legacy positions, risk profile, any other information material to the creation of the IPS. Upon
Client’s approval of the IPS, the portfolio allocation is implemented. Alpha Advisors will provide
continuous and ongoing management of Client’s accounts on a discretionary basis and make changes
to the allocation as Alpha Advisors deems appropriate within the limitations of the IPS. Alpha
Advisors will determine the securities to be purchased and sold in the account and will alter the
securities holdings from time to time, without prior consultation with Client. Discretionary authority
is granted by Client to Alpha Advisors as part of the Wealth Management Agreement executed by
Alpha Advisors and Client.
Wealth Management Services are based on Client’s current financial situation as disclosed by Client
to Alpha Advisors. Clients are advised that certain assumptions are made with respect to rates of
interest, market returns, and inflation including, past performance is in no way an indication of
future performance. Alpha Advisors cannot offer any guarantees or promises that Client’s financial
goals and objectives will be met. Clients, whose financial situation or investment goals change,
should notify Alpha Advisors promptly. The advice offered by Alpha Advisors in certain areas is
limited; other professionals, such as an insurance adviser, attorney or accountant, are needed.
Some transactions, account reallocations and rebalancing are taxable events, with the exception of
IRA accounts, 403(b) accounts and other qualified or tax deferred retirement accounts. Alpha
Advisors works with the Client, Client’s CPA and legal advisors as needed to, minimally, avoid
unintended tax liability and, optimally, to achieve a generally desired strategy.
Alpha Advisors tailors the advisory services it offers to each Client’s individual needs. Clients may
impose restrictions and/or limitations on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
December 2025
4 of 14
Alpha Advisors, LLC
Alpha Advisors meets with each Client and conducts a series of interviews and data- gathering
sessions as a part of its initial analysis. Financial information and history gathered from clients
includes, but is not limited to:
Investment objectives
Investment horizon and risk tolerance
Income and cash flow information
• Retirement and financial goals
•
• Liquidity needs
•
•
• Cost of living needs
• Education spending needs
• Assets and liabilities
•
Insurance coverage
• Estate documents
• Tax returns
This information Alpha Advisors gathers will assist in providing each Client with services tailored to
their unique financial situation.
Separately Managed Accounts
Alpha Advisors utilizes separately managed account services in certain instances to manage all or a
portion of clients’ accounts. Prior to utilizing a separately managed account service, Alpha Advisors
will verify that the firm is properly registered.
As of December 31, 2024, Alpha Advisors had approximately $231,393,151 of client assets under
management. Alpha Advisors does not have non-discretionary assets under management.
IRA Rollover Considerations
As part of our consulting and advisory services, Alpha Advisors provides the Client with
recommendations and advice concerning investments in employer retirement plans or other qualified
retirement accounts. Alpha Advisors’ recommendations may include withdrawing the assets from
the Client’s employer retirement plan or other qualified retirement account and roll the assets over to
an individual retirement account ("IRA") which would then come under Alpha Advisors’
management services for which Alpha Advisors will receive an asset based fee as described above
under Item 5. This practice could present a conflict of interest if the assets in an employer plan were
not already under Alpha Advisors’ management because Alpha Advisors has an incentive to
recommend a rollover to the Client in order to receive an advisory fee rather than making the
recommendation solely based the Client’s needs.
The Client is under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete a rollover. Furthermore, if
the Client does complete the rollover, the Client is under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA
managed by Alpha Advisors.
It is important for the Client to understand many employers permit former employees to keep their
retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of
their company plan before they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete the
rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available, the Client should consider
the costs and benefits of each.
December 2025
5 of 14
Alpha Advisors, LLC
An employee will typically have four options:
1. Leave the funds in employer's (former employer's) plan.
2. Move the funds to a new employer's retirement plan.
3. Cash out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan.
4. Roll the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change Alpha Advisors
encourages seeking advice from your CPA and/or a tax attorney as needed.
When considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for Alpha Advisors to manage it is
1. Determine whether the investment options in the employer's retirement plan are sufficient.
a. Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than
IRAs.
b. Employer retirement plans may have unique investment options not available to the
public such as employer securities, or previously closed funds.
2. The employer retirement plan may have lower fees than Alpha Advisors’ fees.
a. Take note of the cost structure of mutual fund share classes available in the
employer's retirement plan and how costs compare with share classes available in an
Alpha Advisors managed IRA.
b. Further, examine the various products and services likely to be used at an Alpha
Advisors managed IRA provider and the costs of those products and services.
c. Employer retirement plans generally charge fees either embedded in the mutual fund
fees or explicitly taken to support managing the plan and potentially to offer advice to
participants. These fees may be more or less than fees charged by Alpha Advisors.
3. Alpha Advisors’ strategies may have higher risk than the options provided by the employer’s
plan.
4. Keeping assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, could delay required minimum
distributions beyond age 70.5 (70 ½).
5. A 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary.
a. Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005,
IRA assets have been generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However,
there can be some exceptions to the general rules. Consult an attorney to better
understand protecting retirement plan assets from creditors.
6. Loans may be available in a 401k plan. IRAs do not offer loans.
7. IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income
tax and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an
exception such as disability, higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
8. Company stock owned in an employer retirement plan may be able to be liquidated at
favorable capital gains tax rates.

It is important to understand the differences between 401k (403b) and IRA accounts when choosing
between them. Prior to making this choice the Client is encouraged to contact an Alpha Advisors
investment adviser representative, or call the main number as listed on the cover page of this brochure.
Item 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Wealth Management Services
Alpha Advisors charges a Wealth Management fee in one of two ways: 1) a fee based on client’s
assets under management or 2) a flat annual retainer fee. Fees are negotiable. Management fees are
billed in arrears, at the end of each calendar month. Additionally, the monthly fee is rounded to the
nearest dollar. Therefore, a monthly fee calculating to less than 50 cents will be rounded down and a
fee calculating to 50 cents or more will be rounded up. Therefore, Alpha Advisors may receive
more or less for a particular month.
Fee based on Assets Under Management
In this arrangement, the fee is calculated according to the following table:
Account Size*
Annual Fee
Balances up to $ 2,000,000
1.00%
Balances between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000
0.75%
Balances above $4,000,000
0.50%
(example: A Client with $3,000,000 in billable assets will be charged 1% on the first $2,000,000 and
0.75% on the remaining $1,000,000.)
Alpha Advisors aggregates or “households” all of a client’s managed accounts (joint, individual,
retirement, etc.) together to determine the monthly fee.
Clients may make additions to or withdrawals from their portfolio at any time. Cash flows of
$10,000 or more into and out of their portfolio during a month will be assessed a pro-rated fee, based
on the number of days the funds were in the account provided the fee adjustment is greater than $10.
Large withdrawals from the account can adversely impact our ability to manage the portfolio in
accordance with a client’s plan.
*Assets that are not marketable and are generally illiquid (i.e. assets for which a daily market value
cannot readily be determined) will be excluded from the calculation of a management fee based on
the fee schedule above.
Annual Retainer Fee
Alpha Advisors may negotiate a flat annual retainer fee for clients with complex balance sheets or in
need of specialized services. The retainer fee will be reviewed on an annual basis and will generally
range from $2,500 to $60,000.
Typically, clients authorize Alpha Advisors to debit management fees, whether flat annual retainer
fees or AUM, directly from their accounts. We will provide a monthly fee invoice that identifies the
advisory fee, the value of their portfolio and how the fee was calculated. In addition, account
December 2025
7 of 14
Alpha Advisors, LLC
statements reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee are sent directly from the account custodian.
If the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay advisory fees, Alpha Advisors has the
authority to sell or redeem securities in sufficient amounts to pay advisory fees. Clients may elect to
pay their fees by check.
Client accounts are held at Fidelity Investments, a third-party custodian. In addition to the advisory
fees above, clients may pay transaction fees for securities transactions executed in their accounts in
accordance an agreement between Alpha and Fidelity. They may also pay fees for custodial
services, account maintenance fees, and other fees associated with maintaining their accounts.
Finally, many investment vehicles, such as mutual funds, have internal management and operating
expenses, and these are born proportionally by the fund owners. Alpha Advisors does not receive
any portion of such fees.
Termination Provisions
Clients may terminate their Wealth Management Agreement with Alpha Advisors without penalty,
upon written notice to Alpha Advisors. Clients will be responsible for any fees and charges incurred
from third parties as a result of maintaining any accounts, such as transaction fees for any securities
transactions executed and account maintenance or custodial fees. Should a client terminate
investment advisory services before the end of a calendar month, they may be charged a prorated
portion of the advisory fee for the period up to the date of termination.
Separately Managed Accounts
Clients using separately managed accounts will pay a separate fee to the third party manager of
approximately 0.12%. This is separate from the fees charged by Alpha Advisors; however, this fee
is paid directly to the third party manager, not Alpha Advisors.
Item 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE BY SIDE MANAGEMENT
Alpha Advisors does not charge performance-based fees.
Item 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Alpha Advisors’ clients are primarily individuals and families, with a wide range of ages, levels of
wealth and objectives.
Item 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Alpha Advisors’ investment philosophy embraces asset allocation as the main driver of portfolio
returns, and diversification among asset classes and securities as the primary means of managing
risk. We seek to determine the most appropriate portfolio allocation for a client given their goals and
stated risk tolerance.
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss, including the loss of principal. Therefore, clients
must be prepared to bear the risk of loss and fluctuating portfolio values.
Asset allocation and diversification strategies are utilized to help a client work toward long-term
goals. However, any investment’s future performance will deviate from its historical track record,
both from an absolute return standpoint or relative to its benchmark.
December 2025
8 of 14
Alpha Advisors, LLC
Alpha Advisors primarily uses no-load mutual funds (Funds). No-load means Alpha Advisors is not
compensated for purchasing or selling the fund on behalf of the client. The Funds have managers
and infrastructure the cost of which is represented by fees that are taken from the returns of the
Funds. The fees and other risks associated with the funds are described in the funds’ prospectuses,
which the custodian sends directly to the client following any purchase of a mutual fund that is new
to the client's account. In addition, a prospectus is available online at each mutual fund company's
web site. At the client's request Alpha Advisors will assist with obtaining a prospectus.
Funds typically hold multiple underlying equity and/or fixed income positions which provides
diversification. However, Fund investment strategies vary widely from passive and to active
producing significant variations in market risk. The stated strategies of the Funds and success of
those strategies can and do change. One way a Fund’s strategy will change is when a manager is
replaced. This manager risk will change the suitability of a Fund for a client’s asset allocation and
significantly affect performance. Other risks include but not be limited to market risk, interest rate
risk, inflation, currency risk, leverage risk and commodities risk. Strategies that are narrowly
focused on certain types of risk are themselves a type of risk that must be evaluated in the overall
context of a client’s portfolio to determine suitability.
In addition, we use exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) from time to time. ETFs trade on stock
exchanges. Therefore, there is more daily price fluctuation with ETFs than with mutual funds since
ETFs trade throughout the day, whereas mutual funds are priced once a day. ETFs, like mutual
funds, vary in strategies from passive to active. ETFs are often used to replicate various stock or
bond indices with returns generally near the return of the indices less fees required to operate the
ETF. Otherwise the risks associated with ETFs are very similar to the Funds described above.
The prospectus is required reading for no-load mutual funds, ETFs and, as mentioned above, is
provided by the custodian post purchase and otherwise be requested from the Alpha Advisors at any
time.
Stock and bond prices fluctuate throughout the trading day and are subject to market risk and
company-specific risk. The value of stocks and bonds can decline due to company-specific reasons
as well as the health of the overall stock market. Dividends can be reduced or eliminated.
Item 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Neither Alpha Advisors nor its professionals have been subject to any disciplinary actions in the last
ten years.
Item 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Alpha Advisors does not have any other financial industry activities or affiliations.
Item 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OF INTEREST IN CLIENT

Neither Alpha Advisors nor its associated persons recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client
accounts, any securities in which we have a material financial interest.
Alpha Advisors and its associated persons buy or sell securities identical to those securities
recommended, purchased or sold on behalf of its clients. Therefore, Alpha Advisors and/or its
associated persons have an interest or position in certain securities that are also recommended and
bought or sold for its clients. Alpha Advisors and its associated persons will not put their interests
before its clients’ interests. Alpha Advisors and its associated persons do not trade ahead of its
clients or trade in such a way to obtain a better price for themselves than for any clients. Alpha
Advisors will not place trades for its own account that are opposite of its recommendations to
clients. Its associated persons who have different personal financial goals than clients, from time to
time, hold a position that is outside the recommendations for clients. However, they are prohibited
from any personal trading activity that could adversely impact a client’s investment results.
Alpha Advisors has procedures in place to supervise the trading activities of associated persons who
have knowledge of its clients’ transactions and their related family accounts at least quarterly.
Further, associated persons are prohibited from trading on non-public information or sharing such
information.
Prohibition on Use of Insider Information
Alpha Advisors has adopted policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of “insider” information
(i.e. material non-public information). A copy of such policies and procedures is available to any
person upon request.
Item 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Alpha Advisors has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage
Services LLC (collectively, and together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which Fidelity
provides Alpha Advisors with "institutional platform services." The institutional platform services
include, among others, brokerage, custody, and other related services. Fidelity's institutional
platform services that assist Alpha Advisors in managing and administering clients' accounts include
software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade
orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv)
facilitate payment of fees from its clients' accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions,
recordkeeping and client reporting.
Alpha Advisors is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with Fidelity.
Fidelity generally does not charge its advisory clients separately for custody services but is
compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based
fees for securities trades that are executed through Fidelity or that settle into Fidelity accounts (i.e.,
transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for
individual equity and debt securities transactions). Fidelity provides access to many no-load mutual
funds without transaction charges and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges.
December 2025

Alpha Advisors, LLC
Alpha Advisors does not have a formal soft dollar relationship with Fidelity. However, Fidelity
provides Alpha Advisors with certain brokerage and research products and services, referred to as
soft dollars, that qualify as "brokerage or research services" under Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
In initially selecting Fidelity, Alpha Advisors conducted due diligence. Alpha Advisors’ evaluation
and criteria includes:
financial strength as a company
Industry reputation
• Ability to service you
•
•
• Ability to report to you and to Alpha Advisors
• Availability of an efficient and relatively low-cost trading platform
• Products and services available
• Technology resources
• Educational resources
• Execution capability
• Financial responsibility and viability
• Confidentiality and security of your information
• Responsiveness
• Other factors that bear on the overall evaluation of best price and execution
In addition, periodically Alpha Advisors will periodically review transaction costs in light of current
market circumstances, available published statistical analysis as well as other relevant information.
“Best execution” does not simply mean the lowest transaction cost. Therefore, no single criteria will
validate nor invalidate a custodian, but rather, all criteria taken together will be used in evaluating
the currently utilized custodian.
Alpha Advisors requires clients to maintain accounts at Fidelity. Other investment advisers do not
require you to maintain accounts at a specific broker/dealer. By directing brokerage to Fidelity,
Alpha Advisors are not be able to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions and
this practice costs clients more money.
Due to the individual management of client accounts, we do not aggregate the purchase or sale of
securities for various client accounts.
Item 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
We make efforts to conduct reviews with all clients at least annually. Clients may request more
frequent reviews and set thresholds for triggering events that would cause a review to take place.
Some clients are unavailable for annual reviews. Alpha Advisors will monitor for changes or shifts
in the economy, changes to the management and structure of a mutual fund or company in which
their assets are invested, and market shifts and corrections.
The following individuals conduct reviews:
• Alexander Scott, Financial Advisor
December 2025
13 of 14
Alpha Advisors, LLC
• Mark Leimberger, Financial Advisor
Clients should notify their Advisory Representative promptly of any changes to their financial goals,
objectives or financial situation as such changes may require him to review the potfolio allocation
and recommend changes.
Alpha Advisors sends a portfolio report to all clients at the end of each calendar quarter. In addition,
we will provide clients with reports of their portfolios at any time upon their request. They will also
be provided statements at least quarterly, directly from the account custodian, as well as
confirmations of all transactions. Clients should compare the report with statements received direct
from the account custodian. Should there be any discrepancy, the account custodian’s report will
prevail.
Item 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
In an effort to minimize conflicts of interest whenever possible, Alpha Advisors receives no
financial benefit from outside product or service providers.
Item 15 - CUSTODY
With the exception of the deduction of Alpha Advisors’ advisory fees from client accounts or the
authority to facilitate third party standing letters of authorization on your behalf, Alpha Advisors
does not take custody of its clients’ funds or securities.
Item 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Our Wealth Management Agreement authorizes Alpha Advisors to manage client accounts on a
discretionary basis. Discretionary authority gives Alpha Advisors the authority to buy, sell,
exchange, and convert securities in managed accounts.
Item 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Alpha Advisors does not vote securities. Unless client suppresses proxies, securities proxies will be
sent directly to him/her by the account custodian or transfer agent. Clients may contact Alpha
Advisors about questions they have regarding how to vote the proxies. However, the voting and
how clients vote the proxies is solely their decision.
Item 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Alpha Advisors does not require prepayment of any fees.
