Item 4 – Advisory Business
Alpha Analytics Investment Group, LLC ("Alpha Analytics") is an investment advisory firm
that was founded in 1998. Our principal owner is Robert E. Gipson, CFA, JD.
We specialize in designing globally diversified investment portfolios based on an asset
allocation model, generally utilizing publicly traded funds. We discuss with clients their
investment goals, risk tolerances and individual investment circumstances. We tailor our
recommended investments to the individual needs of our client based upon our review.
Portfolios are developed in accordance with client wishes and based on their individual
risk tolerance and our experience in investing. These investments may include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Cash, certificates of deposit & money market funds
Mutual funds
Exchanged traded funds
Bonds (or fixed income securities)
Stocks (or equity securities)
Other investments as we and our clients find to be appropriate
Our clients may always impose restrictions on the types of investments to include in their
portfolios. For example, a client may request that no "gold funds or emerging markets
investments" be included among their investments.
Alpha Analytics manages investment portfolios both on a discretionary and on a non-
discretionary basis.
As of December 31, 2025, we managed the following client assets:
$76,071,000
$177,291,000
$253,362,000
on a discretionary basis
on a non-discretionary basis
Total client assets managed
Disclosure required by CCR Section 260.238(k)
We assure you that all material conflicts of interest under CCR Section 260.238(k)
regarding Alpha Analytics Investment Group, LLC, its representatives or any of its
employees, that could reasonably expect to impair the rendering of unbiased and
objective advice, are fully disclosed.
4
Wrap fee programs
Alpha Analytics Investment Group, LLC does not participate in wrap-fee programs.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Our fees are based upon either (1) a percentage of assets under management or (2) a
negotiated fixed fee (3) or a negotiated project fee. For fees based on assets under
management, the basis annual fee schedule is:
1.0% fee on the first $1,000,000
0.5% fee on the next $9,000,000
0.4% fee thereafter
The basic annual fee schedule for assets reviewed but not under direct management is:
0.25% fee on the first $10,000,000
0.20% fee thereafter
We have a minimum quarterly fee of $1,500 per quarter. Fees are charged quarterly and
are based on the total market value of the assets under management on the last business
day of the preceding calendar quarter. Our fees, included minimum fees, may be
negotiated or waived.
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee.
Our investment management fee is deducted directly from our client's account. Each
client receives a quarterly invoice that displays the calculation of the fee. In addition, the
amount of our fee is listed on the client's custodial account statement(s). The method of
paying our fee may be negotiated.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
5
OTHER FEES
Alpha Analytics’ fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses that will be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain
charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties
such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot
differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and
taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange-
traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s
prospectus.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Alpha Analytics’
fee, and Alpha Analytics does not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Alpha Analytics considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness
of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Alpha Analytics does not charge performance-based fees, meaning it does not collect any
fees based on a client’s capital gains or the appreciation of the client’s assets.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Alpha Analytics delivers portfolio management services to individuals, families, high-net-
worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, trusts, and a broad range of corporate and
institutional investors, including foundations, endowments, and retirement plans. We do
not have a minimum account size requirement but do have a minimum quarterly fee (see
Item 5 above).
6
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss. Clients should be prepared to bear
this risk before investing.
Methods of Analysis
Alpha Analytics uses various methods of analysis when evaluating investments including:
1.
Fundamental economic and industry analysis
This type of analysis involves researching and reviewing historical economic and industry
data and formulating opinions on future directions. It includes the use of charts and the
examination of business and market cycles. Examples of this type of data includes (a)
interest rates (b) unemployment figures and (c) trade surpluses. There are risks to this
type of analysis in that the underlying data may be incorrect, biased or incomplete and
that the opinions based upon that data might be wrong.
Technical and fundamental investment analysis of mutual funds, exchange
2.
traded funds, closed end funds, stocks and bonds.
This type of analysis involves researching and reviewing data created by third parties that
analyze individual funds or securities such as stocks or bonds. It includes the use of charts
and the examination of business and market cycles. There are risks to this type of
analysis in that the underlying data may be incorrect, biased or incomplete and that the
opinions based upon that data might be wrong.
The data that we use for analysis is derived from financial research journals, financial
newspapers and newspapers, investment websites, corporate and mutual fund ratings
services, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and company press
releases and other sources.
7
Investment Strategies
First, Alpha Analytics reviews with clients their current investment portfolios, intended
uses for those portfolios, projected inflows and outflows, risk tolerance, liquidity needs,
tax considerations, and other relevant client circumstances. This review guides the
development of an investment policy tailored to the client’s objectives and overall
financial situation.
Second, Alpha Analytics develops an Investment Policy Statement for each client, tailored
to their unique circumstances and informed by our outlook on the capital markets. We
believe that investing to a well thought out investment policy, prepared in advance, is a
strategy that is superior to a strategy of reacting (or over-reacting) to the endless stream
of financial news, investment products and data. Each client's investment policy
maintains flexibility and may be modified to meet changing client circumstances.
Next, Alpha Analytics primary investment strategy is to employ an asset allocation model
using globally diverse equities (stocks), fixed income (bonds) and so-called alternative
investments. Examples of alternative investments include private fund holding real estate
backed loans and gold.
We tend to favor publicly traded investments (as opposed to investments such as hedge
funds, private real estate trusts and private limited partnerships).
Our asset allocation model begins with a top-level allocation between equities (which
could include gold and alternative assets) and fixed income and cash. Alpha Analytics
believes the research findings that this top-level asset allocation (as opposed to individual
stock selection) is a primary driver of investment performance over time. This top-level
allocation is significantly influenced by the client's age, risk tolerance and investment
goals. For example, a younger client with an appetite for risk might have 70% of their
portfolio invested in equities while an older retired client might have 30% of their
portfolio invested in equities. Our strategy is then to choose investments that fit into
some of the following asset classes:
8
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Domestic US Equities (especially market sectors)
International Equities - Developed Markets
International Equities - Emerging Markets
Real Estate - Domestic US (including private REITs)
Real Estate - International
Commodities (such as timber and gold)
Oil & Gas Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)
Managed Futures
Others
Finally, Alpha Analytics favors infrequent trading using institutional class mutual funds
and exchange traded funds with:
1.
low expense ratios,
2.
no loads,
3.
no sales charges and
4.
no 12b-1 fees.
Material Risks of Our Investment Strategies
Alpha Analytics generally employs investment strategies that do not involve significant or
unusual risk beyond that of the general domestic and international equity markets. The
following are risks associated with investments that we might recommend:
1.
Emerging markets - Emerging markets are riskier than more developed
markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Emerging
markets have lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.
2.
International Equities - Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can
affect the value of the investment. Foreign government laws and regulations may not
protect investors to the same extent of US government laws and regulation.
9
3.
Manager Risk - Any of the fund investments (mutual fund, exchange-traded
funds, closed end funds) that we may recommend are run by a portfolio manager. There
is a risk that the manager will make poor investment or operational decisions.
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss. Clients should be prepared to bear
this risk before investing.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Alpha Analytics
or the integrity of Alpha Analytics’ management. Alpha Analytics has no information
applicable to this Item. There have been no criminal or civil actions against Alpha
Analytics or any of its personnel. Furthermore, neither Alpha Analytics nor any of its
personnel has had violations of any investment related statutes or regulations.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Robert Gipson, President of Alpha Analytics, spends a substantial part of his time on
business activities other than his investment advisory activities. Mr. Gipson is a
shareholder and member of the Board of Directors of Gipson Hoffman & Pancione, a law
firm founded by him in 1982. As such, through his legal services, there may be a trust
relationship created that results in internally referred clients.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Alpha Analytics has adopted the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct
recommended by the CFA Institute (www.cfainstitute.org) that we believe is the premier
professional organization for institutional asset managers. Below are just some of the
responsibilities that we have to our clients:
10
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The duty to place the interest of our clients above our own interest.
The duty of loyalty and to act with reasonable care and exercise prudent
judgment.
The duty to deal fairly and objectively with all clients when providing
investment analysis and making investment recommendations.
The duty to determine that an investment is suitable to the client's financial
situation.
The duty to make full and fair disclosure of conflicts of interest.
The duty to maintain client confidentiality.
The complete CFA Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct can be found on our
website at www.alphaanalytics.com. All supervised persons at Alpha Analytics must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Alpha Analytics anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’
investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Alpha Analytics has management
authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective
clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Alpha Analytics, its affiliates and/or
clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. Alpha Analytics’ employees and
persons associated with Alpha Analytics are required to follow Alpha Analytics' Code of
Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and
employees of Alpha Analytics and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in
securities that are recommended to and/or purchased for Alpha Analytics' clients.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions,
activities and interests of the employees of Alpha Analytics will not interfere with (i)
making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such
decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions,
based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best
interest of Alpha Analytics' clients. In addition, the Code mandates pre-clearance of
numerous transactions and limits trading near client activity. Nonetheless, because the
Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same
securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market
11
activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually
monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest
between Alpha Analytics and its clients.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
The broker/dealer and custodian for securities owned by clients are in the client’s
control. Most of our client accounts are held for custody at Charles Schwab & Co.
("Schwab") and many clients use Schwab as their broker/dealer. Alpha Analytics usually
has no control over commissions or transaction fees paid by clients to their
broker/custodian.
Schwab also makes available to Alpha Analytics other products and services that benefit
Alpha Analytics but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. Some of these other products
and services assist Alpha Analytics in managing and administering clients’ accounts.
These include trading software, other technology, and client account data such as trade
confirmations and account statements, facilitate trade execution, provide research,
pricing, information and other market data, facilitate payment of Alpha Analytics’ fees
from its client accounts, and assist with back-office support, recordkeeping and client
reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial
number of Alpha Analytics’ accounts. Alpha Analytics does not receive any soft dollars
from Charles Schwab, nor is it compensated for Schwab products.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Selected transactions in accounts are reviewed by Alpha Analytics daily. Client accounts
are reviewed, at a minimum, on a calendar quarter basis or more frequently if
circumstances warrant. Regular reports are provided to clients on a quarterly basis or
more (less) frequently if requested by a client.
12
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Alpha Analytics may pay referral fees to independent persons or firms (“Solicitors”) for
introducing clients to us. Any Solicitor arrangement(s) we have with another party
follows Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Whenever we pay a
referral fee, we require the Solicitor to provide the prospective client with a copy of this
document (our Firm Brochure) and a separate disclosure statement that includes the
following information:
•
the Solicitor’s name and relationship with our firm.
•
the fact that the Solicitor is being paid a referral fee.
•
the amount of the fee; and
•
whether the fee paid to us by the client will be increased above our normal
fees to compensate the Solicitor.
As a matter of firm practice, the advisory fees paid to us by clients referred by solicitors
are not increased because of any referral.
Item 15 – Custody
Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other
qualified custodian that holds and maintains client’s investment assets. Alpha Analytics
urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records
to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities.
Standing Letters of Authorization
Alpha Analytics has been deemed to have custody because of some clients providing us
with Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA(s)”) to transfer funds from their account to
third parties. In such instances where we act under such a SLOA, it is our internal policy
13
to only initiate the withdrawal when directed by the client to a third party they designate
for a designated amount and at a designated time, all their choosing. Although having
custody would typically result in us being required to have a surprise examination, a
surprise examination is not required in this circumstance where we are deemed to have
custody due to SLOAs as we are relying on the conditions set forth in the No-Action letter
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2017. Pursuant to the
conditions set forth in the No-Action Letter, Alpha Analytics confirms that in those
situations (1) you provide an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that
includes your signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the
third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed; (2)
you authorize us, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to
direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time; (3)
the qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify your authorization, and the qualified
custodian provides a transfer of funds notice to you promptly after each transfer; (4) you
have the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the qualified custodian; (5) we
have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the
address, or any other information about the third party contained in the your instruction;
(6) we maintain records showing that the third party is not a related party of Alpha
Analytics or located at the same address as Alpha Analytics; and (7) the qualified
custodian sends you, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual
notice reconfirming the instruction. Nearly all of Alpha Analytics' clients currently have
Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade or Equity Trust Company serving as their qualified
account custodian.
Alpha Analytics does not have physical custody over client assets. However, according to
Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, Alpha Analytics is deemed to
have custody of client assets, and therefore must comply with the rule, when it holds,
"directly or indirectly, client funds or securities or [has] any authority to obtain
possession of them.”
14
Because Alpha Analytics has the authority to deduct fees from client accounts (see Fees
and Compensation) at their qualified custodian, we have custody of client assets in those
instances. In reliance of a “no-action” letter released by the SEC on February 21, 2017,
Alpha Analytics is not required to obtain a surprise examination if the only reason we
have custody is to deduct advisory fees and we comply with the conditions for “no-action”
relief. Alpha Analytics intends to use the safeguards provided in regulation, instead of the
requirements for custody, in instances where we have custody solely because we deduct
advisory fees directly from clients’ accounts. These client accounts are not subject to the
annual surprise audit by an independent accountant or required to be calculated in Item 9
in Form ADV.
We urge all our clients to review the account statements from their qualified custodian
promptly when received. We also urge clients to compare the custodian’s account
statements to any performance reports they receive from us.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Alpha Analytics may receive discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an
advisory relationship to select the identity and number of securities to be bought or sold.
In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the
stated investment objectives for the client.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Alpha Analytics observes the
investment policies, limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises.
Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Alpha Analytics in writing.
15
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, Alpha Analytics does not have any authority to and
does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for
receiving and voting proxies for all securities maintained in client portfolios. At a client's
specific request, Alpha Analytics may provide advice to clients regarding the clients'
voting of proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain
financial information or disclosures about Alpha Analytics financial condition. Alpha
Analytics has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and
fiduciary commitments to clients. It has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding
at any time during the past ten years.
Other Business Activities
Robert Gipson engages in other business activities besides providing investment advice.
We discuss these activities under Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations,
above.
Performance Based Fees
Alpha Analytics does not receive any performance-based fees.
Legal and Disciplinary Issues
Alpha Analytics and our employees seek to maintain the highest level of business
professionalism, integrity, and ethics. Alpha Analytics and its employees do not have any
legal or disciplinary events to disclose.
Arrangements with Securities Issuers
Alpha Analytics and our employees have no relationships or arrangements with issuers of
securities.

needs. This information helps us provide you with a high standard of customer service, process your transactions,
provide products that may interest you and fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. The personal information we

bank reference, annual income and net worth.
How We Protect Information: Our employees maintain and protect the confidentiality of your personal information by
utilizing physical, electronic and procedural safeguards.
Disclosure of Information: Because we are an independent investment adviser, we have no affiliates or related
organizations with which we share information.
Non-affiliated third parties – We may disclose any personal information to non-affiliated third parties when we
believe it necessary for the conduct of our business, or where law requires disclosure. For example, personal
information may be disclosed for audits, to attorneys or other professionals, or to law enforcement and regulatory
agencies as necessary to protect our property or rights. In addition, we may disclose personal information to third party
service providers such as mutual fund companies and clearing firms to enable them to provide business services for us
by performing computer related or data maintenance or processing services, to facilitate the processing of transactions
requested by you, and to assist in offering products and services. Except in those specific, limited situations, without
your consent, we will not make any disclosures of your personal information to other companies who may want to sell
their products or services to you. For example, we do not sell customer lists, and we will not sell your name to a
catalogue company or any marketing agencies.
Former Customers: This policy applies to former customers as well as current customers.
Maintaining Accurate Information: We strive to maintain complete and accurate information on you and your accounts.
We will give you reasonable access to the information we have about you. If you have a question or concern about your

delivering services to clients. These firms contractually commit to protecting the privacy of any Alpha client information
that they review or handle.
