Laguna Coast Capital

---

Laguna Coast Capital is a long-term investment partner for high net worth individuals, families and wealth planning vehicles. We manage globally diversified custom portfolios with the goal of outperforming during range bound and falling markets - times when traditional assets might be stagnant or losing money.

Our focus is protecting wealth by providing a less correlated return profile positioned to capture asymmetric low probability/high potential pay-off events.  We also apply customized tax efficient strategies to your concentrated equity positions to monetize long-term holdings without triggering taxes.

We like the days when markets are down and implied volatility is high which is the opposite of most investment strategies.

We are based in sunny Newport Beach, California but can work with most types of global investors.
