AlphaCentric Funds

What AlphaCentric Funds does

AlphaCentric Funds is a privately held, boutique US investment management firm founded in 2014 and headquartered at 36 New York Avenue, Floor 3, Huntington, NY, with back-office shareholder servicing operated out of Cincinnati, OH by Ultimus Fund Solutions. The firm, doing business through its investment advisor AlphaCentric Advisors LLC, designs, distributes, and administers a lineup of six open-end mutual fund strategies targeted at financial advisors and their retail/HNW clients: Robotics and Automation Fund (GNXIX), Income Opportunities Fund (IOFIX), Life Sciences Healthcare Fund (LYFIX), Premium Opportunity Fund (HMXIX), Symmetry Strategy Fund (SYMIX), and Real Income Fund (SIIIX). Each strategy is offered in Class A, C, and I share classes with differentiated sales-load and expense structures, and underlying portfolio management for several funds is delegated to specialist sub-advisors such as Mount Lucas Management LP (SYMIX) and Garrison Point Capital, LLC (IOFIX).

The product thesis is alpha generation through niche, style-forward strategies in areas typically unavailable to retail investors — including robotics/automation, life sciences, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, and lower-correlation alternatives — packaged in 1940 Act mutual fund wrappers. Distribution is entirely intermediated: the firm leverages FINRA-member distributor Northern Lights Distributors, LLC for shelf placement and Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC for shareholder servicing, while AlphaCentric's own team drives financial-advisor relationships through sales-led outreach, an "AlphaWatch" insights program, and active LinkedIn and YouTube channels.

Revenue is generated through recurring management fees on fund assets under management, supplemented by front-end sales loads on Class A shares (4.75%–5.75% maximum) and 12b-1 fees on Class C shares. To support early-stage AUM growth, AlphaCentric Advisors LLC has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to cap net operating expenses through July 31, 2026 across share classes. The firm employs 11–50 people, has no institutional funding rounds disclosed, and reports no revenue, AUM, or ownership structure publicly, consistent with a small, privately controlled asset-gathering boutique that has expanded its strategy shelf from inception to six funds over roughly a decade.
