Lazari Capital Management, Inc. is a boutique Registered Investment Advisory firm based in Woodland Hills, California, specializing in personalized wealth management and financial planning services. The firm focuses on constructing client portfolios consisting of 'best ideas,' providing advice on individual stocks, bonds, separately managed accounts, mutual funds, and ETFs. They also recommend alternative investments such as real estate, oil and gas, equipment leasing, and business development companies. The firm's investment philosophy emphasizes a contrarian value strategy with a large emphasis on dividend and interest income, seeking investments in strong companies that pay dividends and may be out of favor or experiencing poor investor sentiment at a particular time.

The firm is led by Michael Lazari Karapetian, who has over 25 years of investment management experience as a value contrarian money manager, with a large emphasis on dividend and interest income. He is also a former registered sports agent, having primarily represented NBA talent. Prior to founding Lazari Capital Management in 2003, Michael was a money manager for Bank of America Investments, where he established model portfolios for high-net-worth individuals and corporations.
