The firm manages over $916 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2024, all on a discretionary basis.

The firm charges an advisory fee based on a percentage of assets under management, with fees negotiable and subject to a tiered schedule. LSIA acts as a fiduciary, providing investment discretion to clients and allowing for client-directed investment restrictions. The firm utilizes fundamental analysis for equity and fixed income investments, with a focus on financial statements, company fundamentals, and market trends. LSIA's investment strategy includes a mix of direct investments in stocks and bonds, as well as mutual funds and ETFs for diversification. The firm does not charge performance-based fees and offers services to a range of clients, including high net worth individuals, families, and institutional investors. LSIA does not have any disciplinary events to disclose and does not maintain custody of client assets. The firm's employees may receive compensation based on net new assets under management, but LSIA has no formal third-party compensation arrangements.
