LMG is also an active participant in Private Investments in Public Equities (“PIPEs”) as well as private placements for companies in various industries, including technology, biotechnology, oil & gas and entertainment as well as US listed China based companies.
LMG was created in 2002 when Management purchased an existing (but largely dormant) registered Broker-Dealer in an effort to create a platform to build a significant enterprise in the small to middle market investment banking space. Subsequently, the BD was recapitalized, re-flagged, and re-directed to address the current business mix.
