About
Kensington Securities, LLC is a fee-based registered investment adviser that serves individuals, high-net-worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. The firm provides personalized financial planning, qualified plan consulting, and discretionary investment management, including asset management delivered through wrap-fee programs.
Kensington documents client goals in investment policy statements and tailors strategies using fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis, with potential use of long- and short-term positions and options where appropriate. The firm typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis, conducts quarterly account reviews, and also offers discretionary management of fee-based variable and fixed-index annuities.
The brochure discloses a few features that are uncommon for a firm of this size: Kensington sponsors wrap-fee programs and explicitly manages annuity contracts, and the managing member operates an affiliated insurance practice that generates insurance compensation and is disclosed as a potential conflict of interest. The firm’s brochure also discloses a prior FINRA disciplinary action (a six-month suspension and fine in 2009) and includes written disclosures and procedures intended to address conflicts arising from the affiliated insurance activities.
