KMC Management, Ltd. (herein referred to as “KMC,” “the Adviser,” or “the Firm”) is a limited
partnership established in July of 2004 and is wholly owned by Joseph A. Feste.
KMC is a full-service private wealth management firm that provides a variety of financial services,
including, but not limited to:
• Investment Advisory Services: investment strategy, risk tolerance assessment, asset
allocation, portfolio construction, and third-party manager and alternative investment
recommendations.
• Bill Pay and Bookkeeping Services: cash flow monitoring and management, budgeting, bill
pay, and tax preparation support services.
• Other Financial Services: risk management and insurance planning, large asset purchase
assistance, and other concierge and administrative services.
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory services are provided on a discretionary and/or non-discretionary basis to the
following clients: (i) separate accounts for high-net-worth individuals and other types of clients
(“Managed Account Clients”); and (ii) one privately offered pooled investment vehicle, KM Capital
Venture Partners III, L.P. (the “Fund” or together with Managed Account Clients, “Clients”)). It is
anticipated that KMC will also sponsor (or act as sub-adviser) to other privately offered pooled
investment vehicles. Managed Account Clients are generally invested in accordance with the client’s
financial goals, tolerance for risk, time horizon, and retirement objectives. Managed Account Client
portfolios will typically be invested in a variety of investment products on a discretionary basis, including
but not limited to exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and money market
funds or other cash equivalents. If a Managed Account Client experiences any significant changes to his
or her financial or personal circumstances, the Managed Account Client must notify KMC so that the
Firm can consider such information in managing the Managed Account Client’s investments.
KMC has engaged 55I, LLC d/b/a 55ip (“55ip), a registered investment adviser with SEC, as a sub-adviser
to assist certain Managed Account Clients with the administration of tax-aware transitions into model
portfolios and provide ongoing, automated tax management. Managed Account Clients must sign a
limited power of attorney form via TD Ameritrade (“TDA”) to participate in 55ip’s services. 55ip
supervises and executes trades with respect to assets in Managed Account Client’s 55ip accounts (“55ip
Accounts”) in accordance with the investment objective and strategies as instructed by KMC. Within its
sub-advisory agreement with 55ip, KMC has engaged BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BlackRock”) and the
use of BlackRock’s Custom Model Solutions (“CMS”) to manage Managed Account Client 55ip accounts.
See further disclosures associated with 55ip in Items 5 and 8 below.
KMC also recommends and monitors private placements in alternative investments for qualified
Managed Account Clients. On occasion,
KMC may establish a stand-alone pooled investment vehicle to
hold the investment, and the relevant Managed Account Clients will then invest in such a vehicle (i.e.
KM Capital Venture Partners III, L.P.). Alternatively, KMC will recommend the Managed Account Client
to invest directly in the private placement offering (“Direct Private Placement”). All KMC Managed
Account Client recommendations in a Fund or Direct Private Placements are offered on a non-
discretionary basis to qualified persons.
