The firm

One firm. One process. Employee-owned.

Lizard Investors is an SEC-registered investment adviser focused on international equities. Founded in Chicago in 2008, the firm has been employee-owned since the 2023 management buyout.

Who we are

In 2024 Sudin Poddar joined Jon Moog, bringing together two senior investors, decades of portfolio management experience and more than 20 years of company data in one research system.

Every strategy, in international small cap and emerging markets, is managed on that one system. That gives allocators consistency across mandates, and direct access to the people who built the process and make the decisions.

The people who designed the research process manage the portfolios.
