Your clients keep asking for local. You need it underwritten.
LCM runs sourcing, financial modeling, memo, and committee review, then hands you a documented file. You keep the client relationship and the allocation decision.
A small sleeve, a large relationship signal
Local allocation is rarely the biggest line in a book. It is often the reason a client stays.
Where a local sleeve sits
Illustrative on a $50M book
Illustrative arithmetic, not a projection or a recommended allocation.
What allocators say blocks local
Recurring objections raised in pilot conversations
Qualitative counts from pilot conversations. Not a survey.
Who owns which stage
LCM carries the file to clearance. You own the allocation conversation.
Stages 01–09 of the Keystone process. Capital movement happens off-platform between the parties.
