Goldman Landow Capital was founded in January 2013 by Wall Street veteran Lew Goldman who set out to show U.S. Treasury securities owners they could enhance their portfolio returns while avoiding many of the risks which caused steep losses during the credit crisis.  At the same time, Lew recognized access to dealer balance sheets was becoming more and more restrictive, the U.S. Treasury trading eco-system was fractured, and a solution was needed to make the markets more liquid.  Goldman Landow’s mission was now set.  Introduce liquidity by providing yield enhancement without adding any additional risk factors.  It was obvious to Lew that the way to accomplish this was by either lowering or fixing the borrowing cost to speculators (the liquidity engine) while at the same time compensating the lenders of U.S. Treasury securities where both parties benefit.  After years of research, conversations with academia, and countless meetings with industry experts, and of course U.S. Treasury Beneficial Owners, Lew created a simple to execute “2 Step Repo Process” which locks-in U.S. Treasury borrowing costs and generates yield enhancement for lenders while being devoid of the two major risks associated with securities lending (counterparty and cash collateral reinvestment risk).
