WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Realta Wealth, a leading independent broker-dealer and registered investment advisory platform, today announced the appointment of financial services veteran Scott S. Smith as President. Smith will guide Realta's next phase of expansion, with a focus on growing the firm's advisor network, strengthening compliance and supervisory systems, and scaling its alternative investment platform.

Smith brings more than two decades of leadership experience in wealth management, broker-dealer operations, and real estate capital markets. He previously served as CEO and chairman of the board of FactRight, where he established industry-wide due diligence and risk standards that shaped advisor oversight of alternative investments. He also served a three-year term on the board of the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (IPA), and earlier in his career directed Ameriprise's alternative investment strategy, helping integrate private real estate solutions into its advisor platform. Smith's securities career started with the creation and oversight of a Managed Broker-Dealer platform.

"Realta is at a pivotal moment, combining the entrepreneurial independence advisors' value with the institutional-grade resources they need to thrive," said Smith. "I am excited to work alongside our advisors, employees, partners, and leadership team to deliver innovative solutions, deepen our compliance culture, and build a platform that positions Realta as the destination of choice for growth-minded advisors."

As President, Smith will oversee the expansion of Realta's advisor community, enhance operational efficiency across the enterprise, and advance the firm's capabilities in both traditional and alternative investment strategies. His leadership will be instrumental in driving Realta's continued growth and reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner for independent advisors and their clients.
