About
LBG Advisor provides investment advisory and written financial and estate planning to individuals, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, plan participants, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Services described in the brochure include investment management, pension consulting and education, financial planning, and advisory referral services to third‑party managers.
The firm operates on a non‑custodial basis and manages the bulk of client assets on a non‑discretionary basis, meaning clients approve recommendations before trades are executed. Its investment approach combines top‑down sector rotation with bottom‑up security selection and uses mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income, and may include options, margin and certain over‑the‑counter alternative instruments when appropriate.
Distinctive features relative to similarly sized independent advisers include a principal who holds an insurance license and may recommend insurance products for separate commissions, a disclosed potential conflict of interest. The firm’s explicit focus on pension consulting and participant education, together with its advisory referral service model, are less common among peers in this category.
