as seen in:
Lumida is a digitally native, SEC registered investment advisor specializing in alternative investments and digital assets.
We provide our clients with discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services, access to venture capital and private equity, digital assets and credit investments, all with high touch client service.
Our Origin Story
We created Lumida because we recognized that the world was changing — new technologies and asset classes were emerging against the backdrop of unprecedented global uncertainty — yet we were not getting the service, insight, or access we needed in this new era of investing.
We recognized that others shared our frustration and also needed a digitally native, trusted advisor who can help them preserve and create wealth.
With this vision, Ram founded Lumida to offer a more innovative investment strategy, especially as the traditional 60/40 model faces challenges in today’s inflation-driven environment.

Integrate investment excellence with the best of trust, tax, and estate. We take a cross-asset class approach, and seek contrarian and overlooked opportunities. We believe compounding wealth tax efficiently.
We start with a top-down perspective - assessing macro, policy and regulation to identify key trends. We then layer in a bottoms-up investment analysis to produce a well-balanced portfolio.
Successful founders and executives with significant wealth are focused on growing and protecting their financial assets. They understand the necessity of smart risk control and investment in a dynamic economy. They want to make wise choices to achieve their long-term objectives, so they seek expert guidance.
