KLRIA Managed Account Program
At the start of the client relationship, KLRIA (or “Advisor”) will review the client’s individual
financial circumstances, current investments, goals, objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
The client will complete a Risk Tolerance Questionnaire(“RTQ”) to document their investment risk
level. The information provided by the client will assist KLRIA in making an investment
recommendation that best meets the needs of the client. Investments are offered through Envestnet
Financial Technologies, Inc. via LibertyFi, LLC (“Program Sponsor”), an unaffiliated registered
investment advisor and financial technology platform.
