About Kairos 

Russell Redenbaugh founded Kairos Capital Advisors with the belief that several conventional investment wisdoms were wrong and insufficient for preserving and building real long term wealth.  To build wealth, investors must know when and how to expose capital to rising asset classes and, more importantly, when and how to protect capital from asset classes in sustained decline.  Conventional investment strategies often fail to do this.  Industry tenets such as buy and hold, static asset allocation and age based asset allocation often trap investors in losing asset classes or prevent them from having sufficient exposure in winning asset classes.  Furthermore, the industry's focus of relative results allows investment professionals to hide behind relative performance while losing absoute wealth for clients.  Hiding behind relative results is good for the money manager but not for the money.  Why should managers be paid well to lose less?  To build real, long-term wealth investors must break from these industry traditions.

Russell built Kairos Capital Advisors to do just that.  Russell chose the name "Kairos" from the Greek word meaning, "That moment in which vision, bold action and opportunity converge to achieve extraordinary accomplishment."  This is a definition by which he has led his life.  Blinded at the age of 16, Russell learned early in his life to discover unconventional ways to achieve.  He translated those lessons into graduating top of his class in college and graduate school at Wharton, working his way up from analyst to Chief Investment Officer while helping build a multi billion dollar investment firm, serving under three Presidents as a Commissioner on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission and reaching the height of athletic accomplishment by winning three gold medals from 2003 to 2005 in the world jujitsu competition in Brazil…fighting sighted opponents.  

Kairos Capital Advisors brings this capacity for seeing and acting on unconventional opportunities to an investment process that preserves and grows the capital of Kairos' investment clients.

Kairos Capital Advisors is a fee based, Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).  Integrity is critical for an advisor.  Accordingly, all investment accounts are individually owned by our clients and are held in custody at Charles Schwab.  Client record keeping is performed both by Charles Schwab and an independent third party firm.  This prevents us from misusing client assets or misstating client performance numbers.
