Individual Portfolio Management
Our firm provides continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of his/her funds based on
the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based
on a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's personal investment
policy and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we
determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As
appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the
client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income),
as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or
industry sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities: exchange-listed securities; securities traded over-the-counter; foreign issuers; warrants;
corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper); commercial paper; certificates of deposit;
municipal securities; variable life insurance; variable annuities; mutual fund shares; United States
governmental securities; options contracts on securities; interests in partnerships investing in real
estate; interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests. Kendall Capital reserves the right
to advise clients on any other type of investment that it deems appropriate based on the client's
stated goals and objectives. Kendall Capital may also provide advice on any type of investment held
in a client's portfolio at the inception of the advisory relationship or on any investment on which the
client requests advice.
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance
for risk, liquidity and suitability. The client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions, in
writing, on Kendall Capital’s services.
Financial Planning
We provide financial planning services. Financial planning is a comprehensive evaluation of a client’s
current and future financial state by using currently known variables to predict future cash flows,
asset values and withdrawal plans. Through the financial planning process, all questions, information
and analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the entire financial and life situation
of the client. Clients purchasing this service receive a written report which provides the client with a
detailed financial plan designed to assist the client achieve his or her financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all of the following areas:
• PERSONAL: We review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and
financial goals.
• TAX & CASH FLOW: We analyze the client’s income tax and spending and planning for past,
current and future years; then illustrate the impact of various
investments on the client's current
income tax and future tax liability.
• INVESTMENTS: We analyze investment alternatives and their effect on the client's portfolio.
• INSURANCE: We review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability,
long-term care, liability, home and automobile.
• RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve his
or her retirement goals.

dependents, estate planning and disability income.

appropriate, living trusts, wills, review estate tax, powers of attorney, asset protection plans,
nursing homes, Medicaid and elder law.
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes
the client's current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and attitudes towards
risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client and prepare a written report. Should the
client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the client to work
closely with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker. Implementation of
financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion.
We also provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and budgetary
planning, estate planning and business planning.
Typically, the financial plan is presented to the client within six months of the contract date, provided
that all information needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly provided.
Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature.
Retirement Plan Rollovers
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that our advice is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or to which we provide investment advice, because your rollover assets increase our assets
under management and, in turn, our advisory fees. To mitigate this conflict, we will in good faith assist
the client in understanding the tradeoffs and options related to the rollover through written analysis and
discussion. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest. No
client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account managed by us. Kendall
Capital does not participate in a wrap fee program.
As of December 31, 2023, Kendall Capital had approximately $519.8 million in assets under
management, all on a discretionary basis.
