About
Lamplighter Capital Management is a state-registered independent investment adviser that manages discretionary portfolios for individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, institutions and private investment partnerships; as of December 31, 2025 it reported roughly $1.97 million in managed assets across seven clients. The firm provides portfolio management and advisory services for separately managed accounts and private partnerships, with the ability for clients to impose investment restrictions in advance.
The firm follows a value-oriented, event-driven investment approach grounded primarily in fundamental security analysis, and may also consider technical and cyclical indicators when making decisions. Lamplighter uses a wide toolkit — including NPV/IRR and break-up analyses — and invests across equities, distressed and non-investment grade debt, derivatives, transactional situations and other instruments while exercising discretionary authority for most accounts.
A distinctive feature is that Lamplighter assesses performance-based fees for qualified clients in addition to standard AUM-based fees, and it discloses side‑by‑side management conflicts with an allocation policy intended to mitigate them. The combination of a very small, concentrated client base and the firm’s willingness to employ complex, event-driven and distressed strategies within a solo-advisor practice sets it apart from many peers.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
