Scott King

Scott A. King, President of King Global Investments, founded the firm in 2022, after recognizing the need for a laser focused approach to mitigate risk and help optimize returns to benefit his clients’ financial futures. 
In this vein, for the last decade, Scott has worked as a discretionary portfolio manager, which is at the heart of his work. 

Scott’s career began in 1995 with Merrill Lynch. He worked with the Merrill Lynch Trust Company to advise high net worth families and charitable institutions on asset allocation, asset management, and high net worth planning. 
The Great Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 sparked Scott's deep study of technical analysis, global macro, and fundamental analysis. This work helped him on bear markets and shaped his approach to capturing upside in good markets while minimizing losses in bad ones.

In 2017, Scott became a discretionary money manager. He spent the next five years refining strategies built on that same principle: capture growth in up markets, protect capital in down markets. 

In 2022, Scott left Ameriprise to become an independent advisor and launched King Global Investments. 
With assets under advisement of over $200 million as of September 2026, KGI offers decades of experience in all facets of wealth management.
Scott has grown KGI into a firm built on lasting client relationships and exceptional service. 

Scott earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Florida State University. 
Scott has been married since 2000 to his wonderful wife, Katie. 
They have 3 grown sons - Andrew, Alex and Adam. 
Outside of work, Scott enjoys playing golf, fishing and traveling with Katie.
