Axos Clearing to Power Alden Investment Group's Strategic Growth and Innovation

Axos Clearing, an operating subsidiary within Axos Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AX), is pleased to announce a new strategic relationship with Alden Investment Group, a fast-growing, independent wealth management firm redefining the advisor experience through innovation, flexibility, and independence. As a forward-thinking custodian and clearing firm, Axos Clearing shares Alden's commitment to building modern, client-and-advisor-focused solutions. This partnership reflects the alignment of both firms' missions to empower advisors through integrated technology, operational efficiency, and client-centric solutions in today's dynamic financial landscape.

As a partner-owned independent firm operating both a full-service broker-dealer and a registered investment adviser, Alden Investment Group is intentionally building a platform to meet the modern advisor's needs—combining best-in-class tools with dedicated support across both RIA and brokerage business lines. To do so, Alden sought a clearing partner that could match its versatility, support a broad range of services, and accelerate its ability to scale with confidence. Axos Clearing stood out for its modern infrastructure, commitment to customization, and the power of Axos Complete™—a fully integrated technology suite that connects front, middle, and back-office operations.

"We're building a platform that reflects how today's best advisors actually work—cross-channel, tech-forward, and client-obsessed," said Aaron Williams, Chief Growth Officer at Alden Investment Group. "Partnering with Axos Clearing gives us the tools, flexibility, and financial model to deliver that experience while staying true to our values as a modern, independent firm with a long-term vision for scale and service."

Through this partnership, Alden will leverage Axos Complete™ to streamline operations, empower advisors with an intuitive professional workstation, and elevate the client experience through a fully branded digital portal. The result is a unified, secure platform that enables advisors to manage relationships and planning tools more efficiently—while giving clients real-time access to banking, investment accounts, and reports in one connected experience. This integration supports Alden's continued focus on growth, innovation, and service excellence at scale.

"Alden embodies the entrepreneurial, client-first mindset we built Axos Complete™ to support," said David Crow, EVP and Head of Axos Clearing. "They chose Axos Clearing because Axos Complete™ gives them the flexibility to run both their RIA and broker-dealer business on one platform—with the technology, service, and scalability to grow on their terms. It's a strong alignment between two firms focused on evolving the advisor and client experience through innovation and partnership."
