Greg Lathrop, CFA
Chairman Emeritus
In Memorium
Greg founded LIMC in 1981 with a simple mantra, “Do what’s best for the client.” He had an unwavering conviction in the power of that idea, so much so that he felt he could build a business on it and left his job as a trust officer to prove it. In an industry where many are self-important and protective, Greg was the opposite. He was unassuming and always interested in ideas for improvement. We are deeply proud of his independent spirit, and we carry on that legacy today.
Built on relationships
We’ve served clients for decades by staying objective, responsive, and focused on what’s best for you. If you’d like to see whether LIMC is the right fit, let’s talk.
