Altruist is a financial custodian and technology platform built for independent RIAs and wealth managers, positioning itself as a modern, lower‑cost alternative to legacy custodians. It combines custody and brokerage with integrated advisor tools — digital account opening, trading and rebalancing, billing, reporting, and APIs/integrations — so advisors can streamline operations and focus on client advice. Altruist emphasizes simple pricing, developer‑friendly integrations, and client‑facing workflows to reduce administrative friction and speed onboarding.
Ross Gerber's deal to sell Joe Duran a minority stake in his $4-billion RIA fell through, but he took Duran's advice to wean his company off LPL -- and gave Altruist the nod as 'primary custodian'
