At AlphaCore, we employ an innovative asset allocation philosophy. While traditional allocations to stocks, bonds, and real estate serve an important purpose, we believe alternative investments should also be incorporated in order to properly diversify a portfolio. Historically, having a large allocation to traditional, long-only asset classes, primarily made up of equities and bonds, was considered the necessary ingredient to forming a well-diversified portfolio. Today, however, the markets have become both increasingly correlated and recent moves in equities and interest rates have become exhausted. As financial advisors, adding alternative investments in a prudent manner can help to provide the proper diversification needed in the decades to come. Our team proudly offers these customized solutions tailored to the unique goals and investment profiles of the families and individuals we serve.

Clicking the “Like” button is merely a mechanism to circulate our LinkedIn page. “Like” is not meant in the traditional sense.

The Red Shepherd Ventures mission is to identify high growth tech companies at an early stage and apply its network of go-to-market expertise to help them reach their full potential. The gap between a great product and its desired customer base is where Red Shepherd excels. Founding CEO’s and teams are great at building amazing products and the vision for their company. They may lack the sales and marketing experience at an early stage to get their product to the right customers. Combining a great idea with the Red Shepherd network helps to create an efficient go-to-market strategy and execution plan at a critical point in a startups’ life cycle. Backed by a network of world-class GTM leaders, Red Shepherd Ventures is uniquely positioned in the venture world. These Strategic LP’s are the lifeblood of the Red Shepherd value chain. With our proven experience in building successful GTM plans and teams we have a rare perspective on what makes and scales a great technology company. The Red Shepherd GTM team not only identifies and invests in the highest potential early- stage companies, we also bring our expertise to maximize the probability of outsized results and returns for our portfolio companies.
