Our Firm
Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM,” “we” or “us”) is an investment adviser
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was founded by J. Luther King, Jr. in 1979.
Our parent company is Southwest JLK Corporation, a corporation formed under Texas law. Our
employees own or control all of the stock of Southwest JLK Corporation, with J. Luther King, Jr. owning
and controlling a majority of the stock and constituting our principal owner.
We are organized as a Delaware corporation and our principal place of business is located at 301
Commerce Street, Suite 1600, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. As of March 31, 2023, we had 97 employees,
including 65 investment and other professionals with many educational and professional designations,
including CFA, MBA, CIC, CPA and CFP. As of March 31, 2023, our “regulatory assets under
management” were approximately $26,635,000,000, of which approximately $26,386,000,000 we
managed on a discretionary basis and approximately $249,000,000 we managed on a non-discretionary
basis. Our “regulatory assets under management” vary significantly from the amount of assets under
management we disclose in other reports and documents due to the manner in which regulatory assets
under management must be calculated and reported under applicable federal securities laws. As of March
31, 2023, the amount of assets under management we disclose in such other reports and documents was
approximately $24,071,000,000.
We provide investment advisory services to a variety of clients, including:
• separately managed portfolios for individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations,
government entities, corporations and other business entities, foundations, endowments,
and pension and profit sharing plans;
• LKCM Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 consisting of seven mutual funds (each, a “Fund,” and
together, the “LKCM Funds”);
• sub-advised portfolios;
• affiliated private investment partnerships (“LKCM Partnerships”);
• special purpose private investment partnerships (“Single-Investment Partnerships”);
• model portfolio programs; and
• wrap fee programs.
Separately Managed Portfolios
We manage equity, small cap, small-mid cap, fixed income, balanced and international equity portfolios
for institutional and non-institutional clients. We provide investment advisory services to clients with
separately managed portfolios based upon their respective investment objectives, goals, restrictions, tax
status, risk profiles, liquidity requirements, instructions and other relevant considerations. Clients with
separately managed portfolios may impose restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of
securities.

We serve as the investment adviser to the LKCM Funds, a registered investment company comprised of
the following mutual funds:
• LKCM Equity Fund;
• LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund;
• LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund;
• LKCM Balanced Fund;
• LKCM Fixed Income Fund;
• LKCM International Equity Fund; and

We provide investment advisory services to each Fund based on the investment objectives, policies,
strategies and restrictions contained in the prospectus and statement of additional information for such
Fund as filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise provided
under applicable federal securities laws.
LKCM Partnerships
We serve as the investment adviser to affiliated private investment partnerships (each, an “LKCM
Partnership”) that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including:
• LKCM Investment Partnership, L.P.;
• LKCM Investment Partnership II, L.P.;

We provide investment advisory services to each LKCM Partnership based on the investment objectives,
policies, strategies and restrictions contained in the offering and organizational documents for such
LKCM Partnership.
Single-Investment Partnerships
We or our principals, affiliates or related persons from time to time form capital around a particular
strategy, theme, investment or co-investment opportunity, or establish, on a transaction-by-transaction
basis, pooled investment vehicles through which we, our principals, affiliates or employees, our clients,
the LKCM Partnerships, or other investors, including those which may not be our clients or investors in
the LKCM Partnerships, invest (each, a “Single-Investment Partnership”), such as LKCM Headwater PM
Co-Investment Partnership, L.P., LKCM Headwater IL Co-Investment Partnership, L.P. and LKCM
Headwater Intuity Co-Investment Partnership, L.P. The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of
each Single-Investment Partnership are contained in the offering and organizational documents for such
Single-Investment Partnership.
Sub-Advised Portfolios
We serve as sub-adviser to unaffiliated investment advisers, trust companies and other financial
institutions for certain of their separately managed portfolios. We provide investment advisory services
to each sub-advised portfolio based on the underlying client’s investment objectives, goals, restrictions,
tax status, risk profile, liquidity requirements, instructions and other relevant considerations
communicated to us by the primary investment adviser, trust company, other financial institution or the
underlying client. Sub-advised relationships may impose restrictions on investments in certain securities
or types of securities.
Model Portfolio Programs
We participate in model portfolio programs established by unaffiliated third-party sponsors. Under these
programs, we provide non-discretionary investment advice to the sponsors of the programs in the form of
a model portfolio for the investment strategy selected by the sponsors. The sponsors use the model
portfolios to assist them in managing their client portfolios. The sponsors of the programs have sole
responsibility for implementing, administering, and monitoring the investment, trading, compliance and
operational aspects of the programs for their clients.
Wrap Fee Programs
We serve as a portfolio manager under wrap fee programs established by unaffiliated third-party
sponsors. Our investment advisory services are based on each program client’s investment objectives,
goals, restrictions, tax status, risk profile, liquidity requirements, instructions and other relevant
considerations communicated to us by the applicable sponsor or program client. Under the programs, the
sponsors charge program clients a wrap fee for portfolio management, trading, custodial and other
services, and the sponsors pay us a portion of these fees for our investment advisory services. We
generally provide investment advisory services under the wrap fee programs in the same manner as those
we provide for separately managed portfolios. We generally do not have discretion in selecting the
broker-dealers through which trades for program clients are executed, as the wrap fee programs generally
require these trades be executed through the applicable sponsors or their affiliates. As a result, wrap fee
program clients may pay higher commissions or realize less favorable prices on securities transactions
than those clients for which we have discretionary authority to select brokers.
Other Services
We provide investment advice to clients through consultations on an as-requested basis. We also offer
advice to qualified existing or prospective clients regarding investing in the LKCM Funds, the LKCM
Partnerships and/or the Single-Investment Partnerships.
