About

LSIA provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to high‑net‑worth individuals, families, trusts and estates, and also accepts institutional clients such as charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans and insurance companies. The firm additionally offers retirement planning and held‑away account services using a third‑party platform to facilitate management of defined contribution participant accounts.

LSIA develops an Investment Policy Statement for each client and implements portfolios using fundamental analysis across equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and other instruments, and for eligible clients may include allocations to cryptocurrency‑linked ETFs and initial public offerings. Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis with at least quarterly reviews, and trading and execution are overseen by an internal Trading Oversight Committee that manages block trades and broker selection.

The firm’s operational profile is distinctive for a small advisory team: the brochure reports roughly $932 million in discretionary assets managed by four advisors, producing AUM per advisor materially higher than is typical for peer team firms. LSIA’s acceptance of insurance company clients, explicit procedures for IPO allocations and proxy voting, and use of a held‑away platform (Pontera) to manage participant accounts set it apart from many similar firms.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
