Our Process
Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family.
We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk.
Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the cornerstone of my foundation of success.
A Plan Based on Your Specific Needs and Goals
These time-tested steps help us build a financial plan personalized to you.
We'll review the progress of your plan to make sure it stays on track, and suggest any changes where needed.
We'll build an understanding of where you are today and what you want to accomplish in the future.
With your approval, we'll implement your plan, select the specific investments and handle all the paperwork.
We'll analyze what you've shared with us to design your plan, then present it to you and answer any questions you may have.

Our ProcessResearch Runs Whether or Not the Markets Cooperate
01
Research Before and After Every Session
Pre-market and post-market analysis across global macro trends, commodities, currencies, and every major asset class worldwide.
02
Daily Technical Review of Each Position
Every holding monitored individually, with premium equity and macro research subscriptions supporting what the charts indicate.
03
Adjustments Weighted for Growth and Risk Together
Positions sized, hedged, or moved to cash when the research supports it rather than on a calendar.
OUR PHILOSOPHYThe Portfolios Are Built Here
Very few firms our size build and actively manage their own investment platform.
That takes daily commitment rather than periodic attention, which is why our research routine runs every trading day — before the open, after the close — across global macro, commodities, currencies, and the major asset classes.
We monitor every position technically, every day, and subscribe to premium equity and macro research on top of that.
Five proprietary KGI strategies span growth and income, each built on the premise that growth and risk management deserve equal priority, not one at the expense of the other.
Like chess, it's not about one brilliant move — it's a coherent plan that adapts as the board changes, protecting capital while pursuing upside.
KGI operates the same way with a client’s financial life.
Unlike the typical industry approach of passively sitting on your invesments, KGI actively manages them to adapt to changing market conditions in a manner that is proactive, disciplined and focused on your needs.
In 2016 after being in the business for more than two decades, Scott King developed five proprietary investment strategies, spanning both income and growth.
These discretionary strategies were built on the premise that risk management deserves equal priority with growth.
Our practice strives to optimize wealth while effectively managing downside risk.
KGI was established to break away from traditional industry norms, because we knew there was a better way.
