Disciplined Alpha is an investment advisor that manages money for private investment funds and ETFs. Disciplined Alpha uses macroeconomic models to guide its investment decisions, focusing on risk-adjusted returns. The firm manages two strategies: a U.S. long/short equity strategy and a multi-asset class strategy, primarily using ETFs. Disciplined Alpha does not tailor its services to individual client needs.
Disciplined Alpha manages investments for pooled investment vehicles (Private Funds) and ETFs. The fees for Private Funds are 1% per year of the assets if the fund is under $150 million. Once the fund exceeds $150 million, the fee increases to 1.5% per year. There is also a performance fee of 20% of net gains/losses. Fees for separately managed accounts (SMAs) vary and are detailed in the investment management agreements. The ETF charges an advisory fee based on a percentage of the average daily net assets.
