ALE LLC is a registered investment adviser based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2015 by Sammy Sung—who began his career as a licensed securities trader while studying Economics at UC Berkeley and brings over 25 years of industry experience—ALE specializes in managing diversified asset classes and partnering with lending institutions to optimize leverage. The firm’s name reflects the three core elements of a balance sheet—Assets, Liabilities, and Equity—and captures our philosophy: by prudently growing assets and minimizing the cost of liabilities, we build lasting equity for our clients. We collaborate closely with tax advisors and estate-planning attorneys to further strengthen our clients’ financial foundations, helping them achieve retirement security, establish family legacies, and realize their philanthropic ambitions.
