No, LAMCO (Lehman Asset Management Co.) is not LBHI's legal successor. LBHI continues to exist as a reorganized company operating under a court-approved Chapter 11 plan to maximize the value of its remaining assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.
LAMCO was a separate, wholly owned entity created by LBHI during the bankruptcy proceedings, primarily under the direction of the consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal, to manage the remaining illiquid assets of the Lehman estate and potentially attract third-party business. This structure was intended to retain key employees and generate additional value for creditors beyond the initial liquidation.
Regarding its sale, the entity LAMCO Advisory Services was acquired in 2021 by Advus (now part of a wealth management business). The original LAMCO structure was established for the specific purpose of managing the long-term, illiquid assets during the wind-down of the LBHI estate and was not intended as a permanent, standalone "successor" in the traditional sense.
The process continues as an orderly wind-down, with distributions to creditors ongoing as of late 2025. The original LBHI's U.S. brokerage business assets were largely sold to Barclays PLC in 2008 shortly after the bankruptcy filing.
