Introduction To Firm

Kehl Asset Management (KAM) is a money management firm providing continuous, personalized management of separate investment portfolios composed primarily of individual stocks. KAM uses TDAmeritrade Institutional as custodian for client accounts. All accounts remain in the client's name. The broker generates trading confirmations and monthly statements..

KAM offers many compelling advantages for your investment endeavors, including the following:

Flat Fee Schedule

KAM's fee is based on a percentage of total portfolio assets, meaning KAM benefits more favorably as your portfolio total increases. Thus, KAM strives for the best return for your portfolio and reflects a direct financial consequence if your portfolio performs well or poorly. KAM is not affiliated with anyone. KAM does not sell any commission-based products that compensate KAM in any manner. KAM's only objective is to select the best investments for your goals.

Eating My Own Cooking

All client portfolios are designed with Kenneth Kehl's personal portfolio as the model. While this alignment of interests does not guarantee superior performance, you can be assured that KAM is entirely centered on those results, constantly looking to refine and improve the method used.

Candid Performance Reports

In addition to the reports provided by TDAmeritrade Institutional, KAM also provides clients with a performance report showing the return on investment for your individual portfolio. Regardless of how KAM performs, YOU WILL KNOW, and you will be able to identify the areas that are performing well or poorly. For full disclosure, your quarterly reports show before-tax return on investment figures for the year-to-date.

Focus on Individual Stocks

KAM generally focuses on one thing: individual stocks. KAM's time is spent investigating the fundamentals of individual companies and determining their suitability for purchase.

Investment Philosophy

This investment philosophy is based on the concept that stocks represent shares of a business whose price, over time, will reflect the economic reality of that business. KAM's investment selection is fundamental in nature and favors companies with understandable businesses with strong balance sheets and excess cash flow above and beyond all normal capital expenditures. KAM selections have generally been focused on the retail, restaurant, and financial services fields, though stocks from other industries are considered and purchased. Please refer to the philosophy and reports section for a more extensive description of KAM's approach.
