Item 4: Advisory Business
Who we are
Kennicott Capital Management LLC (referred to as “we,” “our,” “Kennicott,” or “Kennicott
Capital”) is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Kennicott
Capital became SEC registered in May 2021 and has been registered as an investment advisor in
the State of California since January 2004. Kennicott’s principal officer is Lawrence M. Dan
(“Principal”).
Services we offer
Kennicott Capital uses a holistic view of each client’s unique financial needs to determine an
appropriate financial strategy and investment portfolio. Kennicott Capital utilizes strategic
diversification using exchange traded equity securities, index exchange traded funds, mutual
funds, fixed income securities, and if applicable, alternative investments including private real
estate funds.
Kennicott Capital believes that asset allocation is the primary determinant of both investment
returns and the variance in those returns. Asset allocation at Kennicott Capital is a customized
process.
Clients may impose restrictions on investments in specific securities or types of securities. We
do not provide portfolio management services to a wrap fee program.
Disclosure Regarding Rollover Recommendations
A Kennicott Capital client or prospect leaving an employer typically has four options regarding
an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the
money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s
plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) rollover to an Individual Retirement
Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s
age, result in adverse tax consequences). We may recommend an investor roll over plan assets
to an IRA for which Kennicott Capital provides investment advisory services. As a result,
Kennicott Capital may earn an asset-based fee. In contrast, a recommendation that a client or
prospective client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or roll over the assets to a
plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to Kennicott Capital.
Kennicott Capital therefore has an economic incentive to encourage a client to roll plan assets
into an IRA that we will manage, which presents a conflict of interest. Accordingly, Kennicott
Capital operates under a special rule that requires us to act in the client best interest and not put
Kennicott Capital’s interest ahead of our client’s. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are
various factors that we will consider to the best of our ability, before recommending a rollover,
including but not limited to: (i) the investment options available in the plan versus the investment
options available in an IRA, (ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an
IRA, (iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of
our Firm, (iv) required minimum distributions and age considerations, and (v) employer stock tax
4
consequences, if any.
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment
advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are
also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts.
We must act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the
way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, which we mitigate or disclose.
Assets under management
As of December 31, 2024, we manage assets of $ 323,682,253 on a discretionary basis. We do not
manage client accounts on a non-discretionary basis.
ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION
Advisory Fees & Billing Practices
Fees for investment management are 1.00% per year of the assets under management. These
fees are billed at the end of each quarter, based on the assets under management as of the last
day of the calendar quarter multiplied by 0.25%. Fees are stated in each client investment
advisory agreement. Fees for portfolios that are managed for less than the full period are pro-
rated.
We may negotiate fees based on account size or client relationship.
We generally require that you provide authorization for us to deduct our fees directly from your
investment account. Important information about the deduction of management fees:
You must provide authorization for us to deduct fees by initialing the appropriate section of our
contract. Client grants Advisor the authority to have fees automatically deducted from the
Account by the custodian upon the custodian’s receipt of Advisor’s billing notice. Client agrees
to require the custodian to send to Client a statement at least quarterly indicating positions,
transactions, withdrawals, deposits, and all amounts disbursed from the Account, including the
amount of fees paid directly to Advisor hereunder. Client acknowledges that Client shall verify
the accuracy of the fee calculation.
You will receive a statement from your custodian which shows transactions in your
•
account, including the deduction of our fees.
You are responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the fees being billed, as the custodian will
•
not do so.
You may end our advisory relationship by providing 30 days written notice. We will prorate the
advisory fees earned through the termination date and send you an invoice for the advisory fees
5
due.
Other Costs Involved
In addition to our advisory fee shown above, you are responsible for paying fees associated with
investing for your account. These fees include, but are not limited to:
• mutual fund loads (if applicable). These charges are paid to brokers as a form of
commission.
• management fees for ETFs and mutual funds. These are fees charged by the managers of
the ETF or mutual fund and are a portion of the expenses of the ETF or mutual fund.
• brokerage costs and transaction fees for any securities or fixed income trades.
These are generally charged by your custodian and/or executing broker.
Additional information about brokerage costs and services is provided in “Item 12: Brokerage
Practices.”
We believe the fees mentioned above are competitive; however, you may be able to obtain similar
services from other sources at a lower price.
ITEM 6: PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not receive performance fees for managing accounts.
ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS
Our clients are typically individuals. Generally, we require that clients maintain $5,000,000 under
management with us. However, we may waive that minimum at our sole discretion.
ITEM 8: METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Our philosophy uses a holistic view of each client’s unique financial needs to determine an
appropriate financial strategy, risk tolerance, and investment portfolio.
At Kennicott Capital, our goal is the preservation of capital and the long-term growth of assets
while minimizing the volatility of returns. Our philosophy uses a holistic view of each client’s
unique financial needs and risk tolerance to determine an appropriate financial strategy and
investment portfolio. Kennicott Capital utilizes strategic diversification using exchange traded
equity securities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, fixed income securities, and if applicable,
alternative investment in private funds including private real estate fund.
We believe that asset allocation is the primary determinant of both investment returns and the
variance in those returns. Asset allocation at Kennicott Capital is a customized process. We
analyze a variety of client-specific factors to create the right diversified asset allocation including:
• Risk tolerance
• Outside investment activities
6
• Spending needs
• Concentrated positions
• Real estate holdings
All investments involve different degrees of risk. You should be aware of your risk tolerance
level and financial situations at all times. We cannot guarantee the successful performance of
an investment and we are expressly prohibited from guaranteeing accounts against losses
arising from market conditions.
Risk of Loss
Historical results are not indicative of future results. Because of the inherent risk of loss associated
with investing, Kennicott Capital is unable to represent, guarantee, or even imply that our services
and methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or
bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to market corrections or declines. You should be prepared
to bear investment loss including loss of original principal.
General Investment Risk
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Any investment
in securities and other assets carries certain market risks. Investments may decline in value for any
number of reasons over which Kennicott Capital has no control, including changes in the overall
market for equity and debt securities and other assets and company-specific factors such as the
company’s management, its products or services, sources of supply, technological changes within
the company’s industry, the availability of additional capital and labor, general economic conditions,
political conditions, and other factors. The value of investments made by Kennicott Capital will
fluctuate, and there is no assurance that a client’s portfolio will achieve its investment objective.
As described below, in addition to the risks generally associated with investing there are risks
associated with the markets and securities in which we invest and the investment strategies and
techniques we employ:
Market/Equity Securities Risk: Either the stock market as a whole or the value of an individual
company goes down resulting in a decrease in the value of client investments.
This is also referred to as systemic risk.
Issuer Risk: When investing in stock positions, there is a level of company or industry specific risk
that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic risk and can be reduced
through appropriate diversification. There is the risk that the company will perform poorly or
have its value reduced based on factors specific to the company or its industry. For example, if
a company’s employees go on strike or the company receives unfavorable media attention for its
actions, the value of the company may decline.
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.
Illiquid Investments. A client portfolio may acquire illiquid investments, which are often difficult
7
to dispose of quickly. In addition, investments that were once liquid may become illiquid, making
it difficult to acquire or dispose of them at the prices quoted on the various exchanges. In that
event, the client portfolio’s ability to respond to market movements may be impaired and the
client’s portfolio may experience adverse price movements upon liquidation of its investments.
Illiquid or thinly traded investments comprise a substantial portion of the Portfolios.
Restricted Securities: Clients may invest in securities that are not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, including securities representing interests in private equity and hedge funds
(“restricted securities”). Restricted securities may be sold in private placement transactions
between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other
established markets. In many cases, privately placed securities may not be freely transferable
under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or due to contractual restrictions on resale. As a
result of the absence of a public trading market, privately placed securities are less liquid and
more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. To the extent that privately placed
securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from the sales,
due to illiquidity, could be less than those originally paid by a client or less than their fair market
value. In addition, issuers whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the
disclosure and other investor protection requirements that may be applicable if their securities
were publicly traded. If any privately placed securities held as assets are required to be registered
under the securities laws of one or more jurisdictions before being resold, a client may be required
to bear the expenses of registration.
Private Equity and Hedge Funds: A client may invest in securities representing limited
partnership interests (or their equivalent) in private equity and hedge funds. Such investments
are generally subject to the risks described above under “Restricted Securities,” including with
respect to restrictions on transfer or resale, the lack of liquidity to which such investments may
be subject and the effect of such illiquidity on valuations, and the loss of certain protections
offered under the securities laws to holders of registered securities. In addition to the foregoing,
a client’s investments in hedge funds may be subject to other risks, including, without limitation,
the risk that restrictions on redemptions may prevent a client from exiting a hedge fund
investment during periods of market stress. Investments in private equity and hedge funds are
speculative and may subject a client to the risk that the strategy chosen by the fund’s investment
manager to achieve the fund’s objective will not be successful. As a limited partner (or its
equivalent), the client will have little or no control over the management of a private equity or
hedge fund in which it is invested or the investment decisions of the fund’s investment manager.
Market Volatility and Disruptions; Limited Liquidity: Securities markets have recently
experienced periods of substantial price volatility and steep declines along with sharp increases
in the value of securities. Periods of economic and political uncertainty may result in further
volatility in the value of client accounts. There can be no assurance that a client’s investments
will be sold above their acquisition costs.
A client may incur substantial losses in the event of disrupted markets or other extraordinary
events. Investments may also be subject to catastrophic events and other force majeure events,
such as fires, earthquakes, adverse weather conditions, pandemic disease or other major health
crisis, changes in law and other similar risks, which events could result in the partial or total loss
of an investment. Market disruptions may from time to time cause dramatic losses for a client.
Interest Rate Risk: As interest rates increase, bond prices fall and when interest rates decrease,
bond prices increase. However, how much bonds change in price with interest rates depends
primarily on duration, yield, and the credit rating of the issuer.
8
Inflation Risk: The risk that the yield on a bond will not keep pace with a client’s purchasing
power.
Call Risk: The risk that a bond will be called prior to its maturity date, causing the bond’s principal
to be returned sooner than expected. Issuers tend to call bonds when interest rates fall.
Consequently, if the bondholder wishes to reinvest the principal, it usually must be done so at a
lower rate.
Credit Risk: There is a risk that issuers will not make payments on the securities they issue. Also,
the credit quality of a bond may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit
quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a bond, which could cause a liquidity issue
and as a result our ability to sell the security when desired.
High Yield Risk: High-yield instruments, meaning investments which pay a high amount of
income generally involve greater credit risk and sensitivity to economic developments, giving rise
to greater price movement than lower-yielding instruments.
Major Public Health Crisis: A client may incur substantial losses in the event of a major public
health crisis such as a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease. For example, the
recent outbreak of Coronavirus (or COVID-19) has had an adverse impact on global, national
and local economies. In particular, such disruptions in the normal functioning of markets and
economies could take the form of supply chain disruptions, shortages of critical staff, production
delays or stoppages or a drop in consumer demand. In addition, travel restrictions could have a
negative impact the ability of Kennicott Capital to effectively identify, monitor, operate and
dispose of portfolio investments. A client may be further negatively impacted by the volatility in
worldwide financial markets following the outbreak, including interest rate changes and trading
halts. Because it is so difficult to predict the impact of a public health crisis such as the
Coronavirus (or any future pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of a contagious disease), the extent
of its adverse impact on client accounts’ performance is uncertain and increases the investment
risks.
Hedging Risk: Hedging is a strategy for reducing exposure to investment risk by taking an
offsetting position in another investment to the investment held. The values of the offsetting
investments should be inversely correlated. We may use options,, financial futures contracts, and
options on such futures contracts as well as inverse Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and similar
investments. Likewise, we may use these financial instruments to provide exposure to the market
or security in which the assets would otherwise be invested. There is a risk that the hedging
instruments used may not perform as anticipated. Furthermore, while hedging can reduce or
eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.
Exchange Traded Fund Risk: An ETF is a registered investment company that seeks to track the
performance of a particular market index or basket of securities. Investing in an ETF generally
offers instant exposure to an index or a broad range of issuers, markets, sectors, geographic
regions, or industries. When investing in ETFs, shareholders bear their proportionate share of
the ETF’s expenses. An investment in an ETF exposes a client to the risks of the underlying
securities in which the ETF invests. Also, although ETFs seek to provide investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a particular market index, the price
movement of an ETF may fail to track the underlying index.
9
Use of Leverage: Leverage embedded in the various derivative instruments traded. As a result
of this leveraging, even a small movement in the price can cause a correspondingly large profit
or loss. Losses incurred on leveraged investments increase in direct proportion to the degree of
leverage employed. Furthermore, derivative instruments and futures contracts are highly volatile
and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial fluctuations. Volatility is a statistical
measurement of the variation of returns of a security or index over time. Higher volatility
generally indicates higher risk. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment should
your trading positions suddenly turn unprofitable.
Valuation Risk: From time to time, a strategy may hold one or more securities for which there are
no or few buyers and sellers or which are subject to limitations on transfer. We may have
difficulty disposing of those securities at values we consider fair, especially during periods of
reduced market liquidity.
Cyber Security Risks. Recent events have highlighted the ongoing cybersecurity risks to which
companies are subject. Kennicott Capital and the companies in which it invests must rely on their
own or third-party service providers’ digital and network technologies (collectively, “cyber
networks”) to conduct their businesses. Such cyber networks might in some circumstances be at
risk of cyberattacks that seek unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes such as
extorting payments from the victims of the cyberattack, misappropriating sensitive information,
corrupting data, or causing operational disruption.
Cyber-attacks might be carried out by persons using techniques that could range from efforts to
electronically circumvent network security or overwhelm websites to intelligence gathering and
social engineering functions aimed at obtaining information necessary to gain access to a
Kennicott Capital client’s accounts or other accounts. Kennicott Capital and its service providers
maintain an information technology security policy and certain technical and physical safeguards
intended to protect the confidentiality of its internal data. Nevertheless, cyber incidents could
occur, and might in some circumstances result in unauthorized access to sensitive information
about Kennicott Capital or its clients. The companies in which we invest are often targets of
cyber-attacks that may have a negative impact on the value of the company.
Management Risk: Your investment results vary with the success and failure of our investment
strategies, research, analysis and determination of portfolio securities.
Limited Operating History: Kennicott Capital has a limited operating history for prospective
clients to evaluate prior to making an investment.
Reliance on Key Persons: Your investments are substantially dependent on the services of the
Principal. In the event of the death, disability, departure or insolvency of the Principal, or the
complete transfer of his interest in Kennicott Capital, your investments may be adversely
affected. The Principal devotes such time and effort as he deems necessary for the management
and administration of your investments. However, the Principal may engage in various other
business activities in addition to managing your investments, and consequently, he may not
devote his complete time to investment business.
The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of
the risks involved in an investment with Kennicott Capital. Prospective investors should read this
entire Form ADV Part 2A and consult with their own advisers before deciding to invest with
Kennicott Capital.

ITEM 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose any material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary actions that would be material to your evaluation of the investment advisor and each
investment advisor representative providing investment advice to you. We have no information
of this type to report.
ITEM 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
As a registered investment advisor, we are required to disclose when Kennicott Capital or our
Principal has any other financial industry affiliations. Neither Kennicott Capital nor our
Principal has outside business affiliations in the financial industry.
ITEM 11: CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a set of enforceable guidelines (Code of Ethics), which describes unacceptable
conduct by Kennicott Capital and our associated persons. Summarized, this Code of Ethics
prohibits us from:
• placing our interests before yours,
• using non-public information gathered when providing services to you for our own gains, or
• engaging in any act, practice or course of business that is, or might be considered,
fraudulent, deceptive, manipulative, or in violation of any applicable law, rule or
regulation of a governmental agency.
Please contact us if you would like to receive a full copy of this Code of Ethics.
Personal Trading for Associated Persons
We may buy or sell some of the same securities for you that we already hold in our personal
account. We may also buy for our personal account some of the same securities that you already
hold in your account. It is our policy not to permit our associated persons (or their immediate
relatives) to trade in a way that takes advantage of price movements caused by your transactions.
We may restrict trading for a particular security for our accounts or those of our associated person
if there is a pending trade in that security in a client account. Trades for our accounts (and those of
our associated persons) will be placed as part of a block trade with client trades, or individually
after client trades have been completed. Additional information about block trades is provided in
the Aggregation of Orders section of “Item 12: Brokerage Practices.” When our trades are placed
after our client trades, we may receive a better or worse price than that received by the client.
Kennicott Capital and its associated persons may purchase or sell specific securities for their own
account based on personal investment considerations without regard to whether the purchase or
sale of such security is appropriate for clients.
11
All persons associated with us are required to report all personal securities transactions to us
quarterly.
ITEM 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES
The Custodian and Brokers We Use
We do not maintain custody of your assets that we manage, although we may be deemed to have
custody of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account (see “Item
15: Custody”). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally
a broker/dealer or bank. We recommend that our clients use Fidelity National Investment Services
Inc. (“Fidelity”), a FINRA-registered broker/dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. We
are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with Fidelity. Fidelity will hold your
assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. While we
recommend that you use Fidelity as custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will
open your account with Fidelity by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do
not open the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Even though your account
is maintained at Fidelity, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your account, as
described in the next paragraph.
How We Select Brokers/Custodians to Recommend
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on
terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their
services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally
without a separate fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers,
check requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-
traded funds (ETFs), etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates,
other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
For our clients’ accounts that Fidelity maintains, Fidelity generally does not charge you separately
12
for custody services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that
it executes or that settle into your Fidelity account. This commitment benefits you because the
overall commission rates you pay are lower than they would be otherwise. In addition to
commissions, Fidelity charges you a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee
for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought
or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your Fidelity account. These fees
are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer.
Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Fidelity execute most trades for
your account.
Aggregation of Orders
There are occasions on which portfolio transactions will be executed as part of concurrent
authorizations to purchase or sell the same security for another client or one or more of our
associated persons.
We may choose to block (aggregate) trades for your account with those of other client
accounts and personal accounts of persons associated with Kennicott Capital. When we
place a block trade, all participants included in the block receive the same price per share on
the trade. The price is calculated by averaging the price of all of the shares traded. Due to
the averaging of price over all of the participating accounts, aggregated trades could be either
advantageous or disadvantageous. Commission costs are not averaged. You will pay the
same commission whether your trade is placed as part of a block or on an individual basis.
The objective of the aggregated orders will be to allocate the executions in a manner that is
deemed equitable to the accounts involved.
Directed Brokerage
You may instruct us to execute any or all securities transactions for your account with or through
one or more broker/dealers designated by you. In these cases, you are responsible for negotiating
the terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, commission rates) relating to all services
to be provided by the broker/dealers and you are satisfied with the terms and conditions. We have
no responsibility for obtaining the best prices or any particular commission rates for transactions
with or through the broker/dealer in these situations. You recognize that you may not obtain rates
as low as you might otherwise obtain if we had discretion to select broker/dealers other than those
chosen by you. If you would like us to cease executing transactions with or through the designated
broker/dealer you must notify us in writing.
Soft Dollars
The regulators define the receipt of goods and/or services from a third party in connection with
providing advice as “soft dollars.” Kennicott Capital does not engage in any soft dollar
arrangements or receive any soft dollar benefits.
ITEM 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Kennicott regularly reviews client portfolio’s current investments and discuss potential investment
opportunities. Kennicott generally reviews reports documenting each account’s performance
13
compared to the performance of a relevant benchmark index on a quarterly basis.
Clients receive detailed performance reports in written form on a quarterly basis.
ITEM 14: CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
We do not engage in any client referral agreements or receive any other compensation other than
the management fee described in Section 5.
ITEM 15: CUSTODY
When advisory fees are deducted directly from client accounts at client's custodian, Kennicott will
be deemed to have limited custody of client's assets and must have written authorization from the
client to do so. Clients will receive account statements from the custodian and should carefully
review those statements.
ITEM 16: INVESTMENT DISCRETION
As one of the conditions of managing your account, you are required to provide discretionary
authority for us to manage your assets. Discretionary authority means that you are giving us a
limited power of attorney to place trades on your behalf. This limited power of attorney does
not allow us to withdraw money from your account, other than advisory fees if you agree to
give us that authority.
You grant us discretionary authority by completing the following items:
• Sign a contract with us that provides a limited power of attorney for us to place trades
on your behalf. Any limitations to the trading authorization will be added to this
agreement.
• Provide us with discretionary authority on the new account forms that are submitted
to the broker/dealer acting as custodian for your account(s).
Clients may not place restrictions on our discretionary authority.
ITEM 17: VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
We do not accept the authority to vote proxies on your behalf. You will receive proxies and other
related paperwork directly from your custodian. Upon request we will provide guidance about
voting a specific proxy solicitation.
ITEM 18: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required in this item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about Kennicott Capital Management’s financial condition under
certain circumstances. We have never filed for bankruptcy and are not aware of any financial
conditions that are reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual obligations
to clients.
