About

Lane Brothers Investment Counsel advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, and accredited investors in its private funds. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, pension plan consulting (including serving as a 3(38) fiduciary in some cases), and advisory services to private pooled investment vehicles.

The firm integrates traditional portfolio-management techniques (fundamental analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory) and shorter‑term technical/cyclical tools with alternative investments, notably private real estate, to construct client solutions. Private fund investments are governed by offering documents and non‑discretionary fund agreements; performance‑based compensation is used for those pooled vehicles and is subject to independent calculation and valuation procedures.

What is uncommon about the firm is its role as managing member and general partner of Groton Partners, LLC, a direct real estate development partnership (currently closed to new investors), and its use of performance‑based fee arrangements and fund‑sponsorship activities alongside standard advisory accounts. Investors in the firm’s private partnerships receive audited annual financial statements and quarterly reporting, and the firm has disclosed policies (high‑water marks, third‑party fee calculations, and fair‑value procedures) intended to address conflicts created by incentive fees.
