Leadership & Experience

Advanced Alpha Advisers is led by Dennis Rivera, Founder and Managing Member. With more than four decades of experience in the commodity futures markets, Dennis began his career trading on the floor of the New York Cotton Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange during the open-outcry era — gaining firsthand experience in market structure, execution, risk management, and the evolution of the global futures industry.

Today, Dennis leads a team of professionals focused on managed futures research, portfolio construction, and client advisory services. The firm works with family offices, qualified investors, and institutional allocators seeking diversification through systematic trading strategies and alternative investments.
