LCG Associates is an independent institutional investment consulting firm based in Atlanta. The firm describes its model as research-led: “All Consultants are Research Analysts,” with senior consultants and analysts conducting research across capital markets, investment strategies, managers, and alternative investments.

• LCG’s stated consulting philosophy is to deliver candid, independent investment advice while helping clients target “enhanced return, reduced risk, and lower overall fees/expenses.”
• The firm’s investment philosophy emphasizes being “investors, not market timers,” downside protection, matching asset allocation to objectives and liabilities, diversification, and evaluating performance net of fees.
• Manager selection is customized to each client rather than based on a single approved list. LCG says its process emphasizes both quantitative and qualitative analytics.
• LCG’s manager due diligence focuses on whether historic performance is repeatable, whether the investment team and process are sound, and whether the manager is operationally robust.
• For alternatives, LCG researches agriculture/timber, hedge fund strategies, commodities, infrastructure, private debt, private energy, private equity, real estate, and special situations/opportunistic strategies.
• No public source found a personal venture-capital thesis, check size, or direct startup-investing mandate for Eckman.
