We wanted to formally welcome the newest addition to the Alpha Architect team, Kyle Baxter, who joins us as a Director of Portfolio Services.

Kyle Baxter

Kyle is new to finance after working as Assistant Director of Operations at his family’s real estate business in the West Chester, PA area.  He also has experience in music and film production and remains a passionate musician.

Kyle went back to school in 2015 and graduated with a Masters of Science in Finance from Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College in New York City.  He has also passed Level II of the CFA Program.

Kyle is excited to take his first job in finance with our firm.  If you open an account with us, you will likely be talking to our new onboarding ninja.

Welcome to the team, Kyle!

PS. We won’t tell Kyle this, but the only real reason we hired him is because he is willing to do crazy workouts with me without any complaints (every else on the team told me to pound sand). He will be also joining us on our March for the Fallen on September 16th.  Kyle and his dad have been training hard with me and discussing quant finance during our weekly training routine.
