Lumbridge Research

Lumbridge Research LLC provides discretionary investment management and targeted financial consulting to high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, pension plans and small businesses, documenting client objectives through an Investment Policy Statement; the firm states a $100,000 account minimum and anticipates initially managing $1–5 million. Engagements are billed on a percentage‑of‑assets‑under‑management basis, a common fee approach for firms in this category.

The firm implements a tactical asset‑allocation process through thematic model portfolios, taking discretionary buy/sell and rebalancing authority consistent with each client’s objectives and constraints. Investment instruments may include publicly traded equities, options, warrants, margin, leveraged ETFs and cryptocurrencies, and the brochure explicitly describes the amplified risks associated with leverage, derivatives and sector concentration.

Lumbridge is a sole‑manager, small advisory firm that emphasizes an aggressive, sector‑focused strategy (technology, biotechnology and crypto) that may be atypical for similarly sized managers; it also highlights an operational custody nuance — the firm notes it is considered to have custody solely because it is authorized to deduct advisory fees directly from client accounts, while client assets are held with an independent qualified custodian (the firm typically recommends Interactive Brokers). The brochure further discloses that proxy voting is left to clients and that the firm may rely on third‑party research and best‑execution considerations when selecting brokers.
