  • Background:
    Wes Gray, a former U.S. Marine and finance professor, founded Alpha Architect in 2010. The Philadelphia area quant shop's team describes themselves as "a research-intensive asset management firm," one that focuses on "high-conviction value" and "momentum factor" investing. Their mission is to provide what they call "Affordable Alpha."

    Through its RIA subsidiary, Empowered Funds, LLC (dba EA Advisers), Alpha Architect offers its own ETFs and SMAs. (Alpha Architect's 1st ETFs debuted in 2014.)

    Empowered also serves as an ETF-in-a-box shop, ETF Architect, to help other firms enter the ETF space, by providing investment advisory and series trust services.

    Boutiques that have used ETF Architect/Empowered Funds/EA Advisers to power their ETFs include:
  • Argent Capital Management;
  • the Bahnsen Group;
  • Bridges Capital;
