Strategies as robust as your foundations.
Lumida recognizes the unique intricacies of each institution, whether it's the decentralized nature of DAOs, the long-term commitments of pension funds, or the fiduciary responsibilities of endowments.
At Lumida, we understand that every financial journey is unique.
GUIDE, SUPPORT & DELIVER
Lumida structures its support to the unique needs of each institution. We balance liquidity needs with long term growth to meet future obligations. Our alternatives and digital asset expertise enables us to offer manager strategies, on- and off-chain investments, and cash management approaches to institutions of all shape and size.
DAOs/Protocols
Bridging Traditional & Decentralized Finance
DAOs represent the future of organizational structures, but they come with their own set of challenges. Lumida seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional financial wisdom and the decentralized world, helping DAOs operate efficiently and effectively.
Asset Management for Protocols
With the rise of decentralized protocols, there's a need for expert asset management that understands the nuances of the digital asset space. Lumida offers specialized services that cater to the unique needs of protocols, pairing optimal target returns with liquidity management.
Preserving Decentralization
While offering our expertise, we ensure that the decentralized ethos of DAOs remains intact. With Lumida, DAOs can have the best of both worlds: professional asset management without compromising their decentralized principles.
Endowments
Fiduciary Excellence
Endowments come with a significant fiduciary responsibility. Lumida understands - and shares - this responsibility. We offer expertise, diligence, and dedicated commitment to help your institution achieve its mission.
Balanced Portfolios
Endowments require a careful balance between preserving capital and ensuring growth. Lumida crafts portfolios that achieve this balance, helping the institution meet its commitments today & in the future.
Philanthropic Guidance
Many endowments have a philanthropic mandate, and Lumida offers guidance to help our clients efficiently and effectively achieve their philanthropic goals.
Pensions
Long-Term Vision
Pension funds have a long-term commitment to their beneficiaries. Lumida understands this responsibility and offers investment strategies that balance near-term liquidity demands with long-term growth expectations.
Risk-Adjusted Strategies
With the responsibility of ensuring consistent returns for beneficiaries, Lumida aims to craft strategies for pension funds that balance risk & reward while focusing on sustainable growth.
Asset Liability
Lumida can generate novel strategies that help pensions align & fund their liabilities through the implementation of laddered and distinctive credit strategies.
