About

Lazari Capital Management provides advisory services to individuals, trusts, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, and an affiliated private investment fund. Its service set includes ongoing portfolio management, financial and estate planning, pension consulting, and the recommendation or selection of third‑party asset managers.

The firm typically documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and provides discretionary portfolio management across a broad set of instruments — equities, fixed income, real estate funds, ETFs, options, commodities, non‑U.S. securities and private placements — and may employ margin, short sales and options where appropriate. For its affiliated private fund the firm uses a proprietary quantitative investment process and may employ leverage and derivative instruments; LCMI states it monitors accounts regularly and seeks equitable allocation of investment opportunities among clients.

Noteworthy distinctions relative to many peers include several affiliated business activities and registrations: an affiliated private fund (with the firm serving in a general‑partner capacity), principals affiliated with a broker‑dealer, and affiliated real‑estate and other asset‑management entities, all of which the firm discloses and addresses through policies and disclosures. The firm also both provides pension consulting and can enter into performance‑based fee arrangements for certain clients — combinations that are less common among similarly sized team advisory firms.
