LCM Capital Management is a fiduciary under federal securities laws and is thereby obligated to put your interests first. Our obligations to you as a fiduciary go beyond those required of a brokerage firm.

Client's assets are held by our custodians, Charles Schwab Institutional and Fidelity Investments Institutional. Both custodians are members of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation) and also have additional protection commonly referred to as excess SIPC protection.
