DMKC Advisory Services is a fee-based SEC registered investment advisor providing investment management services to a broad range of clients. DMKC Advisory Services is owned by its parent company D.M. Kelly & Company, an independent Des Moines Iowa based brokerage firm.

DMKC Institutional Services was formed with the goal of providing institutions with the same exceptional services our retail customers experience. Having an in-house trading department allows us to obtain competitive bids for our clients and offer an accessible channel of dealer contacts.

Our Advantages

Inventory

D.M. Kelly & Company is one of the few brokerage firms in Central Iowa that has its own full-time Municipal Bond Trader. We carry our own inventory and purchase many of the bonds directly from the issuer. This often eliminates many of the markups that are commonly applied to bonds offered at other firms that do not specialize in fixed-income investments.

Independence

D.M. Kelly & Company is an independent, Iowa-based company. We are not an affiliate or subsidiary of any other firm. That means we have no “house” products. We are free to select and market the most attractive bonds available, regardless of their source.

Size

More than 3500 clients trust D.M. Kelly & Company to help them invest over $1 billion* in assets. We are large enough to have the attention of those organizations issuing bonds, yet small enough to provide individualized service to our clients. Many larger firms send their clients to impersonal websites and automated phone systems. D.M. Kelly & Company investment executives sit down and talk with you about your goals in order to provide you with investment strategies that best match your needs.

Opportunities

D.M. Kelly & Company is keenly focused on high-grade Midwestern municipal bond issues. While larger institutions often overlook smaller bond issues, we see this as a tremendous opportunity for our clients. These bonds often offer a higher interest rate because of the lack of competitive bidding from larger investment firms. As a D.M. Kelly & Company client, that can mean a better return on your investment.

Security

While bonds are some of the safest investments investors can find, it is reassuring to know that your D.M. Kelly & Company account is protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and has an additional policy purchased for full net asset value protection.** Our fundamental mission is clear: to help conservative investors acquire attractive, prudent investment vehicles that meet their specific investment goals.

*Figure as of November 04, 2009 **Neither SIPC protection, nor protection in excess of that provided by SIPC, covers a decline in the value of a customer’s assets due to market loss.
