About

Lindner Capital Advisors, Inc. (“LCA”), a federally registered investment advisor since 1997, provides a Turnkey Asset Management Program (“TAMP”) through a select group of financial professionals, brokers/dealers and RIAs nationwide.

By utilizing our TAMP services, financial advisors can confidently outsource critical business functions to LCA such as portfolio construction, asset allocation and rebalancing, client account maintenance, reporting and billing, staffing needs, marketing, and the list goes on. Our primary goal is to exceed the expectations of the advisors that partner with us with a concierge level of service. Consistent with this high level of service, LCA is aligned with Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. (“DFA”), an institutional investment firm based in Austin, TX, and LCA’s portfolios, predominately constructed using DFA funds, are designed to achieve an attractive balance between a client’s tolerance for risk and desired rate of return.

The firm was among the first investment advisors globally to complete the independent certification process by the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence, LLC. (“CEFEX”). CEFEX advisory firms adhere to the Global Fiduciary Standard of Excellence. This means we act in the best interest of investors. This is contrasted with a firm that lacks a fiduciary process or operates according to a ‘suitability’ standard.

At LCA, we help our advisors achieve their mission of service by supporting their complex back-office processes, delivering advanced technologies to more easily address their clients’ needs, and providing access to institutional investment portfolios from DFA. As a result, LCA advisors are able to offer their clients top investment options at a lower cost than the industry average—all while having more time do what they do best: work with individual investors one-on-one to help build a better tomorrow.
