CREATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT FOR LONG-TERM INVESTORS


Welcome to our website.

I'm Dr. Jerry Minton, founder and CEO of Alpha Investment Management, Inc. I appreciate your giving me some of your valuable time to explain Alpha's unique money management philosophy. I call it "power investing."

The primary objective of power investing is to control risk in order to produce smooth and consistent growth of capital over time. Preventing large losses is paramount to achieving long-term investment success.

Power investing is based on two principles which are solidly supported by decades of academic research:

  1. Active stock selection stands little chance of outperforming index returns over time.
  2. The stock market experiences regular "climate changes" which are statistically reliable and offer investors a way to "stack the odds" in their favor.

By exploiting the changing investment climate, Alpha seeks to tilt the playing field in favor of our clients, offering higher long-term returns with significantly less volatility and risk.

I urge you to explore this concept as it is explained throughout our website. The section on "Power Indexing" is a good place to start. Here you can see the dramatic long-term effect of the annual shift in market climate (power zone vs. dead zone) on popular market indexes.

Then, please explore our managed account based on the MidCap Power Index. This remarkable strategy has achieved gains in 27 of the past 28 years since the creation of the midcap index by Standard and Poors in 1981. The last down year was 1994. You can download a brochure here.

I also urge you to sign up for our free e-newsletter which will provide you with our latest insights into the investment markets and keep you abreast of our ongoing research.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to call me with questions or email us through our contact page.

Sincerely,
Jerry Minton, Ph.D.
President

MID-CAP MAGIC

The mid-cap index is largely ignored by investors, who tend to invest in the Russell 2000 index for small company stock exposure.

This is a big mistake. The mid-cap index has routinely outperformed the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500.

Standard and Poor's created the S&P Mid-Cap 400 index in 1981. The index encompasses 400 companies with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion.

Stocks in this index are chosen based on market capitalization, liquidity, industry representation and profitability. When taken together, these stocks represent about 7% of total market capitalization.
