A Letter From Our Managing Partner & Founder:

Hello friends,

When I founded LotusGroup Advisors in 2004, it was with a simple but powerful mission: to help people Make. Life. Count.  This mission was born from a deeply personal place – a reflection on how important it is to use our one-time opportunity on this earth to create a life well-lived.

Over the past two decades, this mission has been the guiding light for everything we do at LotusGroup.   It’s why we’ve built a team of passionate, skilled professionals who share our commitment to helping you build your financial security while taking care of the hundreds of little details.  It’s also why we’ve combined time-tested investment strategies with leading financial tools to help you feel in control.  

With a solid financial team and security in place, we encourage clients to pursue life’s endless dreams and adventures, with time being their only limited commodity.  What have you been putting off that would enrich your life today?  Why not get started now?  What is holding you back?  These are the questions we address on a daily basis, and the answers help to unlock potential and opportunity.

As I look back on the incredible partnerships we’ve built and the lives we’ve helped support and encourage, I’m filled with immense gratitude.  Our ultimate reward is the privilege of participation in so many incredible client adventures.  

I invite you to meet our team and to get started today.  We are excited to hear your story and to further discover, support, and unlock your life’s potential.

Make. Life. Count.

Sincerely,

Raphael Martorello
