CleverAlpha builds and manages diversified ETF portfolios using institutional-grade methodology — for a fraction of what traditional advisors charge.
Every decision we make — from fee structure to portfolio construction — flows from these principles.
Rules-based portfolio construction grounded in decades of academic research. No gut calls. No market timing. Just consistent, disciplined execution.
25 basis points per year — period. No trading commissions, no hidden wrap fees, no minimums that punish small accounts. More of your money stays invested.
As an SEC-registered investment advisor, we are legally required to act in your best interest. Not sometimes. Not when it's convenient. Always.
From your first deposit to long-term wealth building — here's exactly what happens.
Securely connect your brokerage, IRA, or 401(k) in minutes. We use bank-level encryption and read-only access during setup.
Tell us your time horizon, risk tolerance, and financial goals. Our algorithm translates your inputs into an optimal asset allocation.
CleverAlpha constructs a diversified ETF portfolio designed for your goals and begins managing it automatically — including rebalancing.
Real-time performance tracking, AI-powered insights, and tax-loss harvesting review to protect and grow your wealth.
Compare what you pay a traditional advisor versus CleverAlpha's flat 25 bps management fee.
Most financial advisors charge 1% or more annually — a fee that compounds silently against your wealth. On a $500K portfolio, that's $5,000 per year before you earn a single dollar of return.
CleverAlpha charges 0.25% per year. That's our entire fee. No add-ons, no trading costs, no custody fees. The difference stays in your account and compounds for you.
Over a 20-year horizon, the savings from lower fees can add six figures to your final portfolio value.
Automated investing without the overhead — institutional strategy delivered through software.
A robo-advisor uses software to build and manage investment portfolios based on your goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. The technology eliminates human bias, dramatically reduces costs, and ensures your portfolio is always aligned with your objectives.
CleverAlpha combines the rigor of a traditional RIA with the efficiency of modern technology — giving you institutional-grade portfolio management at a price point previously 'difficult' to do.

Traditional advisors may review your portfolio every once in a while. CleverAlpha analyzes it daily — identifying rebalancing opportunities, tax-loss harvesting windows, and risk drift before they impact your returns.
