Almanack Investment Partners

What Almanack Investment Partners does

Almanack Investment Partners, LLC is a privately held, SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2014 and headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The firm operates a wealth management platform that combines investment research, risk-managed model portfolios, alternatives for qualified investors, and an integrated advisor support stack covering compliance, trading, multi-custodian operations (Fidelity and Charles Schwab), portfolio analytics, and back-office services. Its core differentiator is an "endowment-style" investment philosophy built around dual emphasis on growth and downside protection, with proactive risk management across model portfolios.

The firm distributes its platform through more than a dozen independent advisor team practices operating under their own brands (including Redwood Wealth Management Group, Junto Wealth Management, White Knight Capital, and Phoenix Wealth Management PLLC). These affiliated advisors serve end clients ranging from individual investors to complex family offices in the United States and internationally, while relying on Almanack's home office for investment, compliance, operations, and technology support. The platform is also available directly to institutional investors seeking alternative investments and institutional-quality portfolio management.

The business model is a wrap fee program and related advisory arrangements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940; specific fee schedules are disclosed only in Form ADV Part 2A and wrap fee program brochures. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there are no funding rounds, acquisitions, or ownership changes indicated. The firm is led by Founder/CIO Kevin Harper (Wharton MBA, prior Ivy League endowment and multi-family office experience) alongside COO/CCO Megen Reilly and a small home-office team.
