LJ Partnership
Established in 2009, LJ Partnership is a private wealth partnership, a collaboration of families and entrepreneurs from across a range of industries, continents and cultures, who have sought to take more control of their wealth.
The partnership was founded by a number of families and entrepreneurs, including the European cousins of the Guggenheim family, as well as the co-founders of the businesses acquired from Guggenheim Partners.
