Join us on our mission

What we do

Our approach is centered on three pillars

Endowment-style Investing
We invest across asset classes with a preference for tax-efficient alternative investments. We prefer niche, capacity constrained, strategies with a capital imbalance or dislocation.
Excellent Service
Clients have a dedicated professional that is focused on helping them achieve their financial and health goals.
Connecting Wealth & Health
We provide integrated solutions to individuals and families for growth, management, and preservation of wealth, health, and legacy.
Our approach is holistic. We start by deeply understanding our clients’ wealth, health, and legacy objectives.

...built by a team of crypto-native investment professionals.

We offer financial planning to balance cash flow management with investment objectives

How we do it
We are a fiduciary, not a commission incentivized broker, which allows us to source and provide our clients access to products and services best fit for their particular needs.

We structure endowment style investing that balances capital appreciation with income generation through a multi asset class investment strategy.

We focus on investment themes that we believe are changing the way the world operates.

We support our clients full legacy management, creating wealth and health blueprints to guide everything from wealth creation to healthspan maintenance to trust and estate planning and insurance structuring.

We dedicate significant resources to high touch client support so that our clients get back their time and have peace of mind.
The Lumida Advantage

Client-First Approach

As a fiduciary, we embody a client-first ethos.

We are not a broker-dealer like the big banks which have conflicts of interest and earn hidden fees for pushing internal products or winning investment banking mandates.

Lumida is a fee-only advisor. Our interests are aligned with yours. Our solutions are tailored to your objectives. We do not take a cookie-cutter approach prevalent in traditional wealth management.
