Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Keen Capital, LTD, (“Keen Capital” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Keen Capital is organized as a Corporation under the laws of South
Carolina. Keen Capital was founded in 2007, and is owned and operated by Thomas Gore (President). The
Advisor conducts business under the practice name (“doing business as” or “dba” name) Core Advisors, Ltd. This
Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Keen Capital.
B. Advisory Services Offered
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Keen Capital’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Keen Capital offers a variety of advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
businesses, retirement plans, and charitable organizations (each referred to as a “Client”). These services can be
categorized as Financial Planning Services, Investment Management Services, or a combination of services
under Wealth Management Services
Wealth Management Services
Keen Capital provides customized wealth management services for its Clients pursuant to a wealth management
agreement. These services consist of two components: financial planning services and investment management
services.
Financial Planning Services
Keen Capital will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to a
written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals and objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to:
Insurance planning
● Business planning
● Retirement planning
● Financial planning
● Tax strategy
● Personal tax and cash flow planning
● Estate planning
●
● Divorce planning
● College planning
● Compensation and benefits planning
● Other areas as determined by Client needs
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.

Page 4
https://keeninvestors.com
Keen Capital may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may
not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
Investment Management Services
Keen Capital provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management and related advisory services. Keen Capital works closely with each Client to identify their
investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio
strategy. Keen Capital will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds
and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize
individual stocks to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on
portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. In certain client engagements financial planning is included as an additional
service to investment management services.
Keen Capital’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Keen Capital will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to
place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to
acceptance by the Advisor.
Keen Capital evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. Keen Capital may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. Keen Capital may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement. Keen Capital may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to,
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating
cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Independent Managers – Keen Capital may recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment
managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s
investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing
oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Clients
investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the
initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client will be provided with the
Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures).
Under certain circumstances, Keen Capital may accept or maintain custody of a Client ‘s funds or securities.
Please see Item 15 – Custody for more information.

Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Keen Capital provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan
Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized
to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Management Services
● Vendor Analysis
● Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
●
●
● Performance Reporting
● Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
● ERISA 404(c) Assistance
● Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Keen Capital serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2),
the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Keen Capital’s fiduciary status, the specific services to
be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Keen Capital to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one
or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the
Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – Keen Capital, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – Keen Capital will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – Keen Capital will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – Keen Capital will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Keen Capital does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services
are provided directly by Keen Capital.

E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Keen Capital manages $161,285,066 in Client assets, $159,447,936 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis and $1,837,130 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more
current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Financial Planning Services
Annual Retainer Services: Ongoing financial planning and consulting services are offered to Clients as part of an
annual retainer program. These services are only available to Clients who have otherwise engaged Keen Capital
for broad-based financial planning services. These services must be contracted concurrent with the completion of
the initial financial plan. The ongoing annual service may include unlimited telephone contact, guidance with
respect to implementation of the financial plan and other financial issues as necessary and quarterly reviews with
Clients to discuss the progress of the financial plan. Fees for ongoing retainer services are in accordance with
the Fixed or Hourly Fee schedules set forth below.
Hourly and Fixed Fees: Keen Capital offers financial planning services either on an hourly or fixed fee basis.
Hourly fees range from $120 to $395 per hour. Fixed fee amounts and billing arrangements will be determined in
advance and agreed to in writing. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to
be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and total costs will be
provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the average daily balance on the
account ending on the last day of the calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees will not exceed 1.25% annually
and are based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to
be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific
reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will
take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Keen Capital will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
Wealth Management Services
Wealth Management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the average daily balance on the
account ending on the last day of the calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees will not exceed 2.00% annually
and are based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to
be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific
reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will
take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Keen Capital will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.

https://keeninvestors.com
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not
receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Independent Manager
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or
more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation
from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. The
Advisor will allocate a portion of the advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of
the executed agreement between the Advisor and the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the
Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 1.25% annually.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.25% and are billed
quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter. Retirement plan advisory fees are based on the average daily
balance on the account ending on the last day of the calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the
size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Financial Planning Services
Generally, Clients will be required to pay a deposit, predicated upon the cost of the services to be rendered and
the fee-paying arrangements negotiated with the Client. For Clients on the Annual Retainer, a one-month deposit
is required to be paid in advance. For hourly or fixed fee arrangements, a $500 deposit is required. The balance
of the financial planning fees shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Investment Management and Wealth Management Services
Investment and wealth management advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the
amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter end date. The amount
due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management
with Keen Capital based on the average daily balance on the account ending on the last day of the previous
quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on
the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide
written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Keen Capital to be paid directly from their
account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees will include Keen
Capital’s investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees
charged by the Independent Manager. The Advisor will assume the responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees
and deducting all fees from the Client’s account[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the
Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Keen Capital, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and
custody fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge

Page 8
https://keeninvestors.com
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client’s accounts, but typically charges for mutual funds
and other types of investments. The fees charged by Keen Capital are separate and distinct from these custody
and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Keen Capital for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and
a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Keen
Capital, but would not receive the services provided by Keen Capital which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Keen Capital to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Financial Planning Services
Keen Capital requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning
agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the
financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the
Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point
of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for
actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee
engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid planning fees from the effective date of termination. The Client’s financial planning agreement
with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Investment Management and Wealth Management Services
Keen Capital is compensated for its services at the end of the quarter after investment advisory services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without
the Client’s prior consent.
Independent Managers
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best
interest, the Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the Independent Manager. The
terms for termination are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and the Independent
Managers.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Keen Capital is compensated for its services at the end of the quarter after advisory services are rendered. Either
party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to
the other party. The Client shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to and including the effective
date of termination. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without
the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Keen Capital does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.

https://keeninvestors.com
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Keen Capital does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Keen Capital are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client.
Keen Capital does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual
fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Keen Capital offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
retirement plans, and charitable organizations. The amount of each type of Client is available on Keen Capital’s
Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.
Keen Capital generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Keen Capital primarily employs its investment strategies based on the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory for
its Clients. Research and analysis from Keen Capital are derived from numerous sources, including financial
media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including
annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Modern portfolio theory assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the
same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk only if
compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher expected returns must
accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all investors, but different investors will evaluate the
trade-off differently based on individual risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will
not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e., if for
that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns. Costs are a main factor in the
Advisor’s investment philosophy and controlling fees, expenses and taxes are a priority in the Advisor’s
investment models.
As noted above, Keen Capital generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their financial goals. Keen Capital will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but
may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At
times, Keen Capital may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals
of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Keen Capital will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that
the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis
may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.

Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Options Risks
Keen may engage in options trading for a client. Stock or index options that may be purchased or sold by client
accounts include options not traded on a securities exchange. Options not traded on an exchange are not issued
by the Options Clearing Corporation; therefore, the risk of nonperformance by the obligor on such an option may
be greater and the ease with which client’s account can dispose of such an option may be less than in the case
of an exchange traded option issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. The trading of options is highly
speculative and may entail risks that are greater than those present when investing in other securities. Prices of
options are generally more volatile than prices of other securities. To the extent that a client account purchases
options that such account does not sell or exercise, it will suffer the loss of the premium paid in such purchase.
To the extent that the client account sells options and must deliver the underlying securities at the option price,
the client has a theoretically unlimited risk of loss if the price of such underlying securities increases. To the
extent that the client must buy the underlying securities, it risks the loss of the difference between the market
price of the underlying securities and the option price. Any gain or loss derived from the sale or exercise of an
option will be reduced or increased, respectively, by the amount of the premium paid. The expenses of option
investing include commissions payable on the purchase and on the exercise or sale of an option. Special risks
are associated with the use of options. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the
exercise of skill and judgment which are different from those needed to select securities, and even a well-
conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior, currency fluctuations or
interest rate trends. The potential loss incurred by a client in writing uncovered options is unlimited. When options
are used as a hedging technique, there can be no guaranty of a correlation between price movements in the
option and in the portfolio securities being hedged. A lack of correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged

securities and the hedging vehicle, so that a client's return might have been better had hedging not been
attempted.
Margin Risks
Keen does not recommend the use of margin as a way to enhance returns. In limited circumstances, it may be
desired by a Client. To the extent that a Client authorizes the use of margin, and margin is thereafter employed by
Keen in the management of the Client’s investment portfolio, the market value of the Client’s account and
corresponding fee payable by the Client to Keen will be increased.
Derivative Risks
Derivatives are difficult to define but are present in a wide variety of investments. In finance, derivatives refer to
contracts whose value is derived from another asset, which include stocks, bonds, currencies, interest rates,
commodities, and related indexes. Oftentimes derivatives are used as a hedge to protect against downside risk
but derivatives can also be used to speculate. Purchasers of derivatives are essentially wagering on the future
performance of that asset. Derivatives include such widely accepted products as futures and options. Due to the
speculative nature of derivatives, even when they are being employed to hedge, unique risks are present
including a party’s misunderstanding of the contract, inability of the derivative to match or derive its value from
the other asset, and the counter-party risk between the parties to the transaction.
While the use of margin borrowing can substantially improve returns, such use may also increase the adverse
impact to which a Client’s portfolio may be subject. Borrowings will usually be from securities brokers and dealers
and will typically be secured by the Client’s securities and/or other assets. Under certain circumstances, such a
broker-dealer may demand an increase in the collateral that secures the Client’s obligations and if the Client were
unable to provide additional collateral, the broker-dealer could liquidate assets held in the account to satisfy the
Client’s obligations to the broker-dealer. Liquidation in that manner could have extremely adverse consequences.
In addition, the amount of the Client’s borrowings and the interest rates on those borrowings, which will fluctuate,
will have a significant effect on the Client’s profitability.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Keen Capital or any of its owner. Keen
Capital values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due
diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its
Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching by with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 145023.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict
of interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5.A.
Accounting and Tax Services
Keen Capital provides accounting and tax related services, including, but not limited to bookkeeping, general
ledger reconciliation and tax reconciliation and planning to Clients. This is achieved through the Advisor
collecting pertinent data from sources, as specified by the Client, conducting reviews and reconciliations of data
and providing feedback of the work performed. Accounting and tax services on an annual fixed fee basis. Fixed
fees will be determined in advance and agreed to in writing. Fees may be negotiable based on the facts and
circumstances of the Client’s financial situation and the complexity of the work requested. Keen Capital is

https://keeninvestors.com
compensated for its services on a monthly basis. A minimum of 1/12 of the stated fee is due upon signing the
accounting and tax services agreement. Either party may terminate the accounting and tax services agreement,
at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the accounting
and tax services agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the
Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to such
termination. Upon termination, any prepaid fees will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned
portion thereof will be refunded to the Client.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Keen Capital has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to
each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Keen Capital (“Supervised Persons”). The Code
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the
Client. Keen Capital and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of Keen Capital’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of
the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (803) 941-
4444.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Keen Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Keen Capital does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Keen Capital does not
have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Keen Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommend (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities.
The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by Keen Capital requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review
by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and
procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Keen Capital allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterward. At no time will Keen Capital, or any Supervised Person of Keen Capital, transact in any
security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Keen Capital does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard
Client assets and authorize Keen Capital to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment
advisory agreement. Further, Keen Capital does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions
on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Keen Capital does not exercise discretion over the

Page 13
https://keeninvestors.com
selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services.
Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or
cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by Keen Capital. However, the
Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Keen Capital
may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions
charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s
offices.
Keen will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”)
or at Altruist Financial LLC (“Altruist”). Schwab and Altruist (each a “Custodian” and collectively the “Custodians”)
are FINRA-registered broker-dealers and members of SIPC and serve as the Client’s “qualified Custodians”. As
Keen maintains institutional relationships with the Custodians, please see Item 14 for additional information
related to the economic benefits received by the Advisor.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealers/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Keen Capital does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any
broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian.
Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Keen Capital does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection
with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Keen Capital will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts
are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade
of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e.,
purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Keen Capital will not be
obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest
available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the designated Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the broker-dealer/custodian. Keen Capital will execute its
transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Keen Capital may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full
at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be
allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be
done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Thomas Gore, Chief
Compliance Officer of Keen Capital. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
Keen Capital, LTD

Phone: (803) 941-4444 * Fax: (803) 941-4445
Page 14
https://keeninvestors.com
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Keen Capital if changes
occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan.
Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Keen Capital
Keen Capital is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment
product. Keen Capital does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-
dealers or any un-related third party. Keen Capital may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory
professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to
meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Keen Capital may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from
various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform – Altruist
As previously mentioned in Item 12, Keen has established an institutional relationship with Altruist to assist the
firm in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Altruist platform is provided at no charge to Keen. Keen
received access to software and related support without cost because the firm renders investment management
services to Clients that maintain their assets at Altruist. The software and related systems support may benefit
Keen, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, Keen endeavors at all times to put the
interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Keen’s recommendation of this
Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - Schwab
Keen has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Keen. As a registered investment advisor
participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Keen receives access to software and related support
without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at
Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services
provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to
put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Keen Capital, LTD
510 Lexington Ave, Suite 101 / P.O. Box 699 Chapin, SC 29036
Phone: (803) 941-4444 * Fax: (803) 941-4445
Page 15
https://keeninvestors.com
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for
Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its
relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for
its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to Keen that may not benefit the
Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services and
discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to
recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Keen believes, however, that the selection of
Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Keen Capital is deemed to have custody over certain Clients’ cash, bank accounts or securities due to the fact
that the Advisor maintains client login credentials. Pursuant to securities regulations, the Advisor is required to
engage an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets and accounts
over which Keen Capital maintains custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are
filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website
(http://adviserinfo.sec.gov).
Additionally, The Advisor is considered to have custody under the following limited circumstances. However,
specific safeguards have been implemented to ensure that the associated Clients and accounts are exempt from
an annual surprise examination.
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the
deduction of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Keen Capital exercises discretionary authority must hold
their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to
safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct Keen Capital to utilize that Custodian for securities
transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and
compare to any reports provided by Keen Capital to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform
this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Keen Capital to move funds
between their accounts, Keen Capital and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all
money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Keen Capital generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed
to by Keen Capital. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting
of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Keen Capital will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals. For Client accounts that are managed on a non-discretionary
basis, Keen Capital is required to obtain the Client’s permission prior to effecting securities transactions.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Keen Capital does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Keen Capital, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of Keen Capital to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Keen Capital, nor any of its Advisory
Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Keen Capital is not required to deliver a
balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or
more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (“CFP®”)
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
● Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
● Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
● Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
● Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
● Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
● Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP®
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.
Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”)
CPAs are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and regulations vary, the
education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally include minimum
college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree and a concentration in

accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year of experience providing services
that involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting
skills, all of which must be achieved under the supervision of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage
of the Uniform CPA Examination. In order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of
40 hours of continuing professional education (CPE) each year (or 80 hours over a two-year period or 120 hours
over a three-year period). Additionally, all American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) members
are required to follow a rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity,
objectivity, due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a conflict
exists), maintain client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public
interest when providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of accountancy have adopted the
AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct within their state accountancy laws or have created their own.
Item 3 – Disciplinary Information

claims or administrative proceedings against Mr. Gore.

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP® (with flame design) marks
(collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP® Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 71,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
● Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP® Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP® Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
● Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
● Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
● Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP® Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
● Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
● Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP®
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.
