About Alpha Capital
Independent by Design. Institutional by Experience.
Alpha Capital combines allocator experience, independent judgment, and proprietary OCIO data to improve institutional selection decisions.
Founder and institutional investor
Brad Alford, CFA
Brad founded Alpha Capital Management in 2006. He directs the firm’s OCIO and investment consultant search services and has more than thirty-five years of investment management experience.
Before founding Alpha, Brad served as Managing Director at Atlantic Trust, Director of Investment Advisory Services at MyCFO, Managing Director of the investment division for the Duke Endowment, and Director of Endowment Investments for Emory University.
He created the Alpha Nasdaq OCIO Indices to advance industry transparency and developed OCIO Analytics to give institutions a more rigorous way to compare performance, allocation, risk, and fees.
Brad holds a BS in Corporate Finance and an MBA from the University of Alabama, completed Princeton University’s Senior Investment Manager Program, and is a CFA charterholder. He also serves institutional missions through finance and investment committee work in Atlanta.

Why independence matters
Alpha sits on the institution’s side of the table.
Alpha is independently owned and does not offer OCIO or investment consulting services. That separation allows the firm to evaluate providers without competing for the mandate being awarded.
The result is a search and evaluation process designed around governance, evidence, fit, and fiduciary outcomes.
