Our Commitment
 

Availability

It’s not rocket science.  At LGA, we limit the number of clients we work with, so that we can dedicate quality time to properly serving our clients.  If you call, you won’t get a robo-answering machine with 20 different menu selections.  You will get a timely response, a live human, and our full attention and effort. 

Access

Not only do clients gain access to 13+ years of world-class financial planning and investment experience, LGA also serves many non-Resident Alien clients, and is versed in cross-border investing and planning.   Additionally, with over 8 years of executive-level business experience, spanning tech start-up to multi-national corporation across three continents, LGA has a deep understanding of money and business, which translates to better investing.

Alignment

As Charlie Munger once said, “Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome.”  At LGA, our only compensation is the quarterly 0.25% management fee, based on the value of the assets under management.  We have no incentive to buy or sell investments unless it serves the purpose of, first, protecting client’s assets, and, second, making the portfolio grow as fast as possible.  Aligning our incentives with your goals is critical; when your portfolio grows, we earn more.  That’s it.

Awareness

The world is more interconnected, and changing faster than ever before.  We monitor global economic, business, and technology news all day, every day, to keep abreast of new opportunities and risks. We also apply both left brain and right brain analysis, to filter signal from noise, and distill the relevant ideas for investing and protection.

Anticipation

All pro athletes are freaks of nature, and have the innate talents for greatness.  But only a few become truly great.  Indeed, many of the greats were not even the fastest or strongest, but they had an important attribute - the ability to anticipate their opponent, and take advantage of that.  At LGA, we strive to continually improve our ability to look ahead, around corners, and take calculated risks. 

Authentic

At LGA, we have no hidden incentives or agenda.  We don’t earn commissions, finder’s fees, broker fees, or mutual fund 12b-1 fees.  We are apolitical, and focus on “what is,” not “what should.”  Our only goal is to generate the best ideas, for protecting and growing your assets, and our structure was specifically designed to be unencumbered by outside incentives and influences.  We seek truth, for better investing.
