King Capital Management LLC

King Capital Management LLC is an independent, single-advisor registered investment adviser that provides continuous discretionary portfolio management to individual clients and tailored investment policies; the firm manages about $22.1 million for a small client base and generally seeks households with at least $1 million to invest while occasionally accepting smaller accounts. It also provides a non-continuous, flat-fee quarterly asset-allocation service for one company 401(k) client that is excluded from regulatory assets under management.

The firm implements a moderately tactical investment approach agreed with each client, using valuation models and external research and retaining discretion to trade more actively during periods of heightened market volatility, with client limits and restrictions documented in an Investment Policy. For clients electing additional services, the firm appoints a registered sub-advisor, Dirigo Private Wealth LLC, to provide non-discretionary investment management and ancillary services (financial planning, loss harvesting, gifting strategies); the sub-advisor’s sole investment advisor representative is a family member of the firm’s principal, and the adviser pays the sub-advisor’s fees while generally charging higher fees to clients who opt into that program.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s very small scale and solo-advisor structure—limited clients and direct oversight of trading and reviews—which produces individualized account handling and relatively informal review documentation. The firm requires non-retirement accounts to be custodied at Charles Schwab, discloses receipt of institutional services from that custodian, and in some cases deducts fees directly from client accounts (an arrangement the firm discloses as creating custody-related safeguards); the principal also trades personal accounts in the same securities as clients, with personal trades submitted after client orders.
