LITTLE BRICK CAPITAL LIMITED

What LITTLE BRICK CAPITAL LIMITED does

Little Brick Capital Limited is a London-based, privately held alternative investment platform founded in 2018 by Zevi Sternlicht that curates, acquires, stores, insures, and ultimately liquidates portfolios of collectible LEGO sets on behalf of individual investors. The company serves UK high-net-worth individuals and serious investors seeking portfolio diversification through tangible assets with near-zero correlation to traditional markets; client ticket sizes range from a £25,000 minimum to £250,000 or more, with clients retaining legal and beneficial title to physical sets held in access-controlled UK facilities under full market-value insurance.

The platform is structured around a data-driven methodology combining an AI-powered market-analysis layer with a proprietary database covering approximately 20 years of historical LEGO set price performance and five years of founder-led backtesting on thousands of sets. Predictive scoring incorporates theme performance, production duration, retirement timing, rarity, and historical discount patterns, complemented by qualitative inputs from the curator team. The thesis draws external validation from a Higher School of Economics study that identified ~11% average annual returns across 2,300+ sets between 1987 and 2015, and from Bloomberg and The Guardian coverage positioning retired LEGO sets as a recognised alternative-asset class.

The company generates revenue through a three-part fee structure: a non-refundable 5% setup fee on invested capital, a 5% upfront allocation for storage and insurance (typically covering approximately three years), and an optional 10% liquidation fee for clients electing managed resale. A Direct Delivery alternative permits clients to receive physical sets for self-managed sale, paying only shipping and handling. Distribution is entirely UK-domestic and direct-to-investor through personalised consultations and inbound digital inquiries, with no self-service onboarding. After operating privately through 2024 to build supplier networks, operational infrastructure, and profitability, Little Brick Capital opened to external investors in 2025.
