Klocker Investment Advisers

Klocker Investment Advisers works primarily with individuals and families, providing discretionary investment management and hourly investment consulting for clients who prefer to manage their own portfolios. The firm operates on a small scale, managing a limited number of client accounts with assets in the low millions and is open to other entity types as appropriate.

The firm’s process centers on a tactical investment strategy that shifts sector exposure based on current market conditions and tailors allocations from conservative to aggressive depending on client risk tolerance; option strategies may be used for clients who opt for higher risk. The adviser actively trades and rebalances accounts, directing transactions through a low-cost custodian to reduce per-trade costs while noting that frequent trading can produce short‑term taxable events.

Distinctive features include the principal’s multi-decade personal trading experience and a recent formation as an independent RIA, a stated refusal to accept commissions or third‑party revenue and a policy against recommending mutual funds. The firm also discloses personal trading in the same securities as clients, does not aggregate client trades, does not vote client proxies (clients retain voting authority), and may accept performance‑based arrangements only for qualified investors, though it currently does not manage such accounts.
