Alpha is a leading provider of consulting, benchmarking and implementation services

Alpha was founded in 2003 and is a leading global provider of consulting, benchmarking and implementation services to financial institutions predominately within Europe and the USA.  We particularly focus on the asset and wealth management industries and the companies that service them.

Alpha undertakes a wide range of projects, and our extensive experience and credentials span all areas of the business and numerous competencies.  Our consulting projects are supported by an extensive and varied set of benchmarking data.

Our studies provide in-depth analysis of all areas of the business and include our long-running Operations and IT Benchmarking Study and are underpinned with unique and proprietary data collected over numerous years.

Our approach is rigorous and focused on providing deep insights into the area of business under investigation. Key features include:

• Analysis that assesses and compares efficiency at the function level allowing a more accurate comparison of managers with different business profiles
• Tailored outputs that include qualitative findings and participant-specific analysis to uncover deeper insights and to identify practical actions to improve performance
• Syndicate of leading investment managers - submitting data on a confidential basis. We do not sell reports to parties outside of the syndicate
• We employ a multi-stage data verification process involving senior specialists, and include interviews, historical checks and cross-correlation analysis to ensure accuracy
• All benchmarking studies are designed to be action oriented so that participants can act on specific recommendations for improvement

We have been engaged in a number of implementation and project management engagements. These typically have been in the areas of system selection and implementation and post-merger integration.

We place experienced contractors in leading financial institutions through one of our business units, Omega Contracts.
