Episode 066: Traditional wealth management often focuses on stocks and bonds, potentially leaving investors vulnerable during market downturns. AlphaCore believes there's a better way. By marrying alternative investments and traditional asset classes, advisors can bridge the gap between traditional wealth planning and the world of alternatives. Breaking down barriers to alternative investments allows investors to diversify and build more resilient portfolios, enhance returns, and mitigate risks.
In this episode, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Dick Pfister, CEO and Founder of AlphaCore Wealth Advisory. Dick has more than 25 years of experience in diversifying traditional portfolios with alternative strategies.
Kyle and Dick talk about alternative investments and how AlphaCore democratizes access to these strategies. Dick also discusses the categories of alternative investments, the role of education in driving accessibility and adoption, upcoming trends in wealth management, and the importance of technology and artificial intelligence in the development of the industry.

Key Takeaways
Quotes
[09:34] - "Coming from the world of alternative strategies, I thought you should have stocks and bonds. But you should have this other instrument called alternatives. Let's make that the third leg of the stool, and that will give you the diversification needed to make it not only in bull markets but in bear markets when you don't have those opportunities in equities." ~ Dick Pfister
[14:33] - "The number one value is, 'do what's right for the client.' And when you do what's right for the client, even if it's more expensive for you as a wealth advisor, more difficult, or operationally inefficient, you're going to get good organic growth because you're putting their interests first." ~ Dick Pfister
[27:57] - "You have to make sure you're embracing artificial intelligence in a way you can utilize to help scale and be more efficient. That's going to become more and more a part of what we do. Not to replace but to enhance what we do." ~ Dick Pfister
