Personalized Investment Management and Planning

What makes us unique: Our investment management process starts and ends with you.

Like your wealth plan, your investment portfolio is tuned to your precise goals. You benefit from the attention and experience of our exceptional team of investment managers, strategists and analysts. Together, they craft your investment strategy, research and select asset managers, and closely monitor the ongoing performance of your portfolio.

We conduct in-depth due diligence to unearth what we think are the most promising investments in the public and private markets. But we don’t stop there. The last stop is you. Is a particular investment likely to provide what you need and want in terms of growth, income, liquidity, volatility? If not, we work to find what will.

Our Investment Management Team

The LNW investment team is comprised of experts who are humble, curious and adept at asking the right questions.

Those traits drive (1) our investment research and (2) our quest to understand how you think and what motivates you. These two things combined then inform our purpose.

Our Purpose: To create for you a strategic plan for investing that brings vision, structure and discipline to the preservation and growth of capital, often over multiple generations. Our investment philosophy is grounded in five key tenets.

To serve individuals and families with significant multigenerational wealth, our approach is similar to that used by endowments. We invest for the long term, often longer than a lifetime.

The portfolios we create are strategically diversified, including semi-liquid private market and alternative asset exposures. The combination of investments in each portfolio is carefully designed to target a level of risk and return that can support client goals over time and as market conditions change.

Private markets and impact investing

As an LNW client, you will have access to investment opportunities in segments not typically covered by most registered investment advisors (RIAs) or other investment management firms, including:

Private markets

LNW has more than three decades of experience investing in the private markets. Over time, we have developed a network of relationships and due diligence capabilities that allow us to source private market opportunities in a variety of sectors and strategies.    

Impact investing

We are a strong partner for clients interested in aligning some or most of their portfolio to achieve environmental or social impact as well as financial goals. Our impact investing team is an industry leader in identifying impact strategies that also present opportunities for competitive returns.

Investments Q&A

What is investment management?

Investment management is the process of building and overseeing an investment strategy designed to help you achieve your financial goals. At LNW, we create personalized portfolios, manage risk, and monitor investments to keep your strategy aligned with your needs over time.

Is there a minimum investment required?

LNW serves individuals, families, and business owners with complex wealth management needs. We encourage you to contact us to discuss your situation and determine whether our services are a good fit.

What is your investment philosophy?

Our investment approach is goals-driven, long-term focused, and disciplined. We emphasize strategic asset allocation, thoughtful risk management, tax efficiency, and rigorous due diligence to help clients pursue their objectives.

How do you determine the right asset allocation for me?

We consider your goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, tax situation, and risk tolerance. These factors help us create a personalized investment strategy designed to support your long-term objectives.

How do you build and manage investment portfolios?

We build customized portfolios using a diversified mix of investments tailored to your goals and risk profile. Portfolios are monitored continuously and adjusted as needed to remain aligned with your objectives.

Do you use individual stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, or a mix?

We use a variety of investment vehicles and third-party managers selected through a rigorous due diligence process. The specific mix depends on your goals, portfolio needs, and overall investment strategy.

Do you offer alternative investments?

Qualified clients may have access to institutional-quality alternative investments, including private equity, private credit, real estate, and hedge fund strategies as part of a diversified portfolio.

How do you select investment managers?

Our investment team conducts extensive due diligence to evaluate managers, investment processes, fees, performance, and risk management practices. We continuously monitor managers to help ensure they remain aligned with our standards and client objectives.

How do you minimize taxes within an investment portfolio?

Tax efficiency is a key part of our investment process. We consider factors such as asset location, portfolio turnover, manager selection, and withdrawal strategies to help improve after-tax outcomes.

Do you offer tax-loss harvesting?

Yes. When appropriate, we use tax-loss harvesting to offset capital gains and enhance after-tax returns while keeping your portfolio aligned with its long-term investment strategy.

What happens to my portfolio during a market downturn?

Market volatility is a normal part of investing. We build diversified portfolios designed to withstand changing market conditions and remain focused on long-term goals. During periods of uncertainty, we proactively monitor portfolios and identify opportunities while helping clients stay disciplined.

Are your investment recommendations customized?

Yes. Every investment strategy is tailored to your goals, financial circumstances, tax considerations, liquidity needs, and risk tolerance.

Can you manage accounts held outside of LNW?

We can review held-away assets as part of your overall financial picture and incorporate them into your investment and wealth planning discussions.
