Kansas City Capital Associates focuses our research effort on small and medium-size public companies, primarily located in the Midwest. Our research ideas are aimed at helping clients identify favorable risk-reward opportunities with the objective of helping them build wealth.
We are drawn to companies with prospects for consistent growth in earnings and cash flow, combined with low valuations. We are not bound by industry specialties or investment banking relationships, so we examine a wide range of opportunities based on fundamentals and valuation.
We dig into the companies we follow. Assessing risks and potential rewards of each equity, we frequently contact not only company management, but also competitors, customers and suppliers, to provide in-depth research for our clients.
The following companies are covered by the research department of Kansas City Capital Associates.
