Why A&O - Alpha & Omega

Why Alpha & Omega

The Small Business Benefit Plan Design and Investment Advice Specialists

We created Alpha & Omega because as we looked around our industry, it seemed that individual investors and small to mid-sized companies always got the short end of the stick. We also saw a lot of American workers facing uncertain retirements because their employers couldn’t afford the cost of a plan. So we decided to put together a business that could help employers and their employees save for retirement more effectively.

Several decades later, Alpha & Omega has grown to become a leader in benefit plan design and administration and a provider of customized, cost-effective retirement investment services in the San Diego and Orange County areas, as well as outside California.

If you are:

Thinking about offering an employee benefits plan but don’t know how to get started,
Seeking an investment advisor you can trust to act in your BEST INTERESTS (rather than maximizing their own fees and commissions)
Considering an audit of your current company-sponsored employee benefits plan for accuracy and effectiveness

LET’S GET STARTED

For Individual Investors

As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Alpha & Omega has decades of experience in designing investment portfolios for individuals, family trusts and IRA accounts.

Our proven solutions are ideal for individual investors who:

Want more sophisticated solutions with lower fees than offered by institutions, money managers and brokers
Want to roll over an existing IRA or 401k to an individual 401k or traditional IRA
Are unhappy with their current retirement plan
Have left their retirement plan
Need professional investment advice regarding their 403(b) account
Own a PenChecks Trust default IRA (as a result of a transfer from their previous broker)

Unmatched IRA Experience and Expertise

PenChecks Trust – our partner who administers our AutoRollover and traditional IRA accounts – created the first missing participant IRA program that became the basis for the default IRA regulations of the Economic Growth and Tax Reconciliation Relief Act. They also developed the first premier IRA fiduciary service that satisfies all DOL FAB 2014 – 01* requirements for plan sponsor trustees. You won’t find another RIA with more experience and expertise in this area.

More Investment Options. Lower fees.

Alpha & Omega offers more investment options, from some of the biggest names in the financial industry, by providing access to cost-effective managed investment options that are typically available only to large institutional investors. We also charge less for those options.

No Off-the-shelf Programs

Unlike some investment firms, we don’t believe in “one size fits all” investment solutions. Instead, we take the time to understand your unique retirement investing goals and design a custom plan to help you get there.

High-touch Service That Treats You Like a Person, Not a Number.

At a large institutional investment advisory firm, you can sometimes get lost in the crowd. At Alpha & Omega, you’ll work one-on-one with an experienced investment advisor who designs a custom plan to help achieve your retirement goals.

Building Trust Through Transparency

Our investment advisors do not receive fees or commissions for the financial products we recommend. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your advisor is making investment decisions based on your best interests rather than his or her own bottom line.

Full Account Administrative Oversight

Alpha & Omega works with a number of leading retirement plan service providers to provide comprehensive administrative oversight of your investment account. We manage your account and the RIAs who manage the actual investments to optimize returns and help achieve your retirement goals.
