LGS offers the following advisory services to our clients:
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
LGS provides personal, confidential advice to high net worth clients as well as foundations and
endowments regarding the investment of client funds based on the individual needs of the
client. To the extent we manage assets on a discretionary basis, LGS provides continuous
advice regarding those assets. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives,
based on a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal
investment policy, create an asset allocation strategy and manage a portfolio based on that
policy and strategy. During our data-gathering process, we determine the client’s individual
objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs.
LGS manages these advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Account
supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities,
or industry sectors.
LGS investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service and will
generally include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Municipal securities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental securities
• Hedge funds
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk,
they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
SELECTION AND MONITORING OF UNAFFILIATED INVESTMENT MANAGERS
LGS will also provide advice regarding investments with unaffiliated managers to identify which
manager’s portfolio management style is appropriate for individual clients. Through personal
discussions in which goals and objectives, based on a client's particular circumstances, are
established, we develop a client's personal investment policy, create an asset allocation
strategy, and manage a client’s investments with unaffiliated managers based on that policy
and strategy. Factors considered in making this determination regarding unaffiliated managers
include account size, risk tolerance, the opinion of each client and the investment philosophy
of the selected manager. Clients should refer to the selected manager’s firm brochure or other
disclosure document for a full description of these factors. Our firm monitors the performance
of the selected managers for clients.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of 12/31/2022, LGS has approximately $686,774,060 in regulatory assets under
management (RAUM), of which $608,430,468 are managed on a discretionary basis and
$78,343,592 are managed on a non-discretionary basis. RAUM assets are also reported in
LGS’s Form ADV 1A.
However, for the purpose of this Brochure, LGS reports that it has $3,866,699,087 in total
assets under advisement. These assets are significantly more than those set forth above as,
with respect to the additional assets, LGS has neither discretion nor the responsibility for the
actual implementation of any recommendations. Therefore, they are not calculated as RAUM.
However, for such assets LGS makes specific investment recommendations, advises clients
on an ongoing basis with respect to their investments, the markets and their portfolio
allocations, and is closely involved in the client’s investment making decisions.
