Alpha Capital Family Office, the Denver-based RIA, has announced the addition of Tom Riley to its team as the lead for portfolio management.

Riley, a seasoned wealth management advisor, is transitioning from his previous role at Northern Trust where he managed assets exceeding $500 million for ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Riley's recruitment comes at a time of increased client dissatisfaction with private banks and major brokerage firms.

Doug Campbell, founding partner at Alpha Capital Family Office, expressed high regard for Riley’s capabilities.

"Tom is one of the most talented portfolio managers I have seen in my four decades plus in the business," Campbell said in a statement.

He highlighted his firm’s emphasis on financially established clients who require distinct investment strategies focused on risk management, cash flow, tax mitigation, and alignment with personal values and goals.

With over 20 years in the investment sector, Riley's extensive background includes a lengthy tenure as a senior portfolio manager at Northern Trust and earlier positions at Colorado State Bank & Trust and First Data Corporation.

His new role will leverage his expertise in creating bespoke investment solutions for clients.

"Joining the team at Alpha Capital Family Offices allows me to always put my clients first, helping them in new ways to grow and preserve their wealth," said Riley. He emphasized the opportunity to offer unique investment options not available in larger institutions.

Beyond his professional obligations, Riley serves on the Board of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, is a member of The Economic Club of Colorado, and participates in the investment committee for Garland Country Day School.
