Summary
Loop Capital and Life Line Holdings announced on October 8, 2026 that they have closed an asset transfer agreement covering specified assets from Life Line's wealth management and family office businesses, according to a PR Newswire release. The transaction expands Loop's wealth and family office platform, which the firm is building to serve athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs, executives and families whose financial lives extend beyond traditional investment management. The stated aim is to preserve the personal service Life Line clients value while connecting transitioning clients to Loop's investment resources, specialized expertise and institutional capabilities.
Life Line Holdings, founded by Humble Lukanga, is a boutique business and wealth management firm serving elite NFL and NBA athletes, actors and actresses, creators and entrepreneurs. Lukanga said the firm was built around knowing its clients personally and that the transition gives clients access to Loop's broader capabilities while maintaining that approach. Life Line and Lukanga have been named annually since 2018 on The Hollywood Reporter's list of Hollywood's Top Business Managers.
Loop Capital, founded in Chicago in 1997 by Jim Reynolds, has grown from six professionals to nearly 300 and manages over $12 billion in assets. Its businesses span investment banking, capital markets, asset management, financial consulting, sports and entertainment advisory and wealth management. Loop Wealth, the firm's wealth management and sports and entertainment advisory business, provides family office solutions and access to public and private investment opportunities. Reynolds said clients need more than investment products or performance reports, and that the firm's goal is to connect personal advice with the resources to evaluate opportunities and build lasting family wealth.
The release cites Loop's athlete-focused ownership strategy, including the 2021 Coco5 investment, in which Reynolds assembled an athlete-led group including Charles Barkley, Devin Booker, Derrick Rose and D'Angelo Russell to finance the coconut-water hydration company's expansion. Loop also highlighted a July 2026 Forbes article on athletes investing collectively. The firm's wealth platform emphasizes financial education and client participation in decisions. Financial terms of the asset transfer were not disclosed in the release.
