Seattle, WA Second Ave Office

Lesa Sroufe & Company is an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages individual and institutional accounts, serving high net worth and non‑HNW individual clients as well as tax‑exempt entities and plans. The firm offers individualized portfolio management using publicly traded equities, fixed income and exchange‑traded funds, and also acts as a sub‑adviser for wrap fee accounts.

The firm follows a research‑driven, value‑oriented equity approach with a top‑down economic outlook, maintaining focused portfolios of roughly 25–35 stocks and the ability to hold up to 50% cash. Portfolios are managed with explicit buy/sell price discipline, low turnover, and separate Equity Appreciation and Total Return objectives tailored to client risk profiles and asset allocation targets.

Distinctive features in the brochure include operation of wrap/sub‑advised programs with LSC providing trading, accounting and performance reporting for those accounts, and regular client communications — individual quarterly statements plus a quarterly investment letter summarizing model performance and market outlook. The firm is employee‑owned, provides special project research (for concentrated positions and options strategies), and negotiates fees on a client‑by‑client basis.
