Overview Section
Kensington Capital Advisors is an independent financial advisory firm specializing in the analysis, structuring and execution of derivative products and is unique among derivative advisory firms in that its six professionals constitute over 80 years of combined experience on a major derivatives trading platform. The firm maintains offices in Charlotte, NC, Chatham, NY, and Chicago, IL, and serves clients nationwide. We are committed to providing the most complete advice and counsel to borrowers in order to help with the evaluation and pricing of derivative products used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt debt.
The experience of the firm’s professionals allows us to serve our clients and their interests by sharing both our insight into the financial institutions that offer hedge products and our thorough understanding of how these products should be implemented. We provide cost savings through both structural efficiencies, realized through creative and tailored selection of derivative products, and pricing transparency, achieved by our independent price evaluation capabilities for both negotiated and bid transactions.
Unlike many advisors who do not have the computer systems and software necessary to offer independent price evaluation, Kensington Capital Advisors, LLC has multiple models populated with live market data provided by leading providers of real-time price information from wholesale inter-dealer brokered financial markets.
As an Independent Derivative Advisory Firm, Kensington Capital Advisors is not affiliated with any other firms providing underwriting, legal, investment or derivative products. To maintain our independence and client focus, we have no provider relationships that could influence our judgment; and, therefore, we offer complete objectivity. We recommend a course of action based solely upon our clients’ needs and legal requirements.

- Not-for-profit (501(c)3) and institutional borrowers
- Government sponsored entities
