Breaking the Mold

Private Equity has been an "old boys club" for decades.

The Alternative Investment asset class has the reputation of being exclusively for the Ultra-High Net Worth individual, Family Office, or institutional investor (like banks). 

After spending the last decade connecting investor capital to unique opportunities under other people's track records, Kelly Ann Winget founded Alternative Wealth Partners. 

Kelly Ann has used her privilege to walk into rooms typically absent of young women and offer insight, strategy, and access to off-market opportunities.

THE AWP TEAM

Diversity meets Experience

Alternative Wealth Partners has a diversified team of industry experts with decades of experience in Private Equity, Investing, Tax, and Legal.

We only partner with people who share the AWP mission.

Kelly Ann Winget

Founder & CEO

Kelly Ann Winget is an innovative, emerging manager in the private equity space, and the founder of Alternative Wealth Partners, a Dallas-based private equity firm focused on blended portfolios of alternative assets.

Hailing from a fifth-generation oil and gas family, Kelly's upbringing exposed her to diverse groups early on. From working at a car wash at 15 to managing valet teams, radiology offices, demolition crews, tanning salons, and bounce houses, Kelly consistently sought out challenges that expanded her horizons. Her experience in blue-collar roles and male-dominated sectors uniquely equips her to empathize with others' experiences.

As a savvy business consultant, Kelly effectively secured capital for startups, oil and gas firms, manufacturing ventures, and real estate. With nearly $1 billion raised for family offices through modest investments, she witnessed exclusive access to wealth-generating opportunities and resolved to democratize such access.

Founded in 2020, Alternative Wealth Partners aims to democratize investments and financial education. Kelly's sharp intellect and dedication drive her to redirect funds from financial frivolity to impactful ventures. Her approachability and open-mindedness set her apart, fostering meaningful conversations and informed decision-making.

As the force behind AWP, Kelly is committed to enhancing financial understanding. AWP offers diverse funds, from fully varied private equity to tax-advantaged energy and real estate investments. With two successful funds managed and a third launching soon, Kelly challenges norms, showing success through genuine connections and diverse portfolios.

Beyond profits, Kelly empowers investors to influence their communities. Her revolutionary investment approach has garnered a dedicated following from all walks of life. She's an inspiration to aspiring investors, an advocate for diversity and inclusion, and a beacon of authenticity in a complex financial world.

Executive Director of Investor Relations

Meet April Wedding, a fitness-turned-financial trailblazer on a mission to break barriers and empower underrepresented folks to build generational wealth. April is committed to educating investors about the variety of assets available in alternative investing, and connecting capital to the right opportunities for investors to see the direct impact of their dollars.

Born in East Texas, April's upbringing instilled unwavering dedication and discipline, drawn from her father's role as a Sergeant Major in the army and her mother's career as an Electrical Engineer. April's fitness journey began after a life-altering knee injury. Her own struggles ignited a desire to empower others to embrace self-confidence and develop a healthy mind-body connection.

Although April faced challenges as a Black female in the fitness industry, often being overlooked for opportunities and promotions, her unwavering spirit led her to thrive as a fitness trainer and manager, where she successfully scaled several gyms for profit and sale.

As her career evolved, April recognized the need for financial education for minority populations, and realized she could have an even greater impact by sharing this knowledge with others from a similar background. April delved into the world of finance, applying her business savvy towards raising millions in capital, quickly excelling as a top producer.

April is an engaged community member, supporting causes like the Boys and Girls Club and Dallas CASA. Her proudest role is that of a devoted mother; brought up as a latchkey kid, April cherishes the opportunity to be present in her daughter's life during these crucial years.

Looking ahead, April aspires to become a Co-GP with a focus on influencing nationwide logistics. As a life-long learner and relationship cultivator, she remains dedicated to opening doors for others who face similar barriers and encouraging women and minorities to take control of their financial futures.
