Who Is Lisa Chen?
Driven by Passion, Powered by Precision.
Lisa’s journey is a testament to entrepreneurial excellence, blending diverse passions with an unwavering commitment to success.
Her career began in finance at just 21, where she obtained licenses through the Canadian Securities Institute and executed trades across stocks, options, bonds, mutual funds, and fixed income securities at a Canadian national brokerage firm for four years.
During this time, Lisa discovered a love for auto racing, earning multiple top-three finishes out of 80 competitors in her rookie autocross season. She went on to achieve dozens of podium finishes across North America before transitioning to road course racing.
Lisa’s entrepreneurial acumen shone when she helped transform a modest two-person business into Canada’s largest supplier in the sign and graphics industry, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary – earning her a finalist position in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® awards. After her company’s acquisition and a brief retirement, her passion for trading led her to a Top 5 ranking in the 2021 World Cup Trading Championships®, securing her a coveted spot among the 12 World Cup Advisors®.
Today, as the visionary behind LCT, Lisa leads a team of dedicated Quantitative Strategists, leveraging the firm’s Quant Portfolio Intelligence platform to deliver reliable portfolio strategies to institutional and professional investors in the financial markets. Whether in finance, entrepreneurship, or auto racing, Lisa consistently sets the standard and exceeds it.
