Referrals:
We welcome investment ideas, suggestions and introductions. Referrals brought to Lizada will be handled in confidence. Fee arrangements will be protected and honored. 

With our long-term philosophy we understand that quality companies and managers are able to consider more than one option. Consequently, referrals do not need to be "deals" but can be an introduction to a potential relationship. Our approach is patient. Many of our relationships are built over long periods of time. 

In the appropriate situation, however, Lizada can move fast: we require no third-party or committee approvals. Our relationships with quality service providers continue to be key to our long-term franchise.
