Steven Kiel – The Art of Investing

Stocks for Beginners

Can a military background arm you for better investing? When analyzing stocks you have to plan for a range of potential outcomes, manage risk and understand that things don’t always work out as planned. Almost like planning for battle.

Steven Kiel is the president and chief investment officer for Arquitos Capital Management, a firm he founded in 2009. Steven is also the chairman of Enterprise Diversified, Inc., a publicly traded alternative asset manager. He served as a judge advocate in the Army Reserves and is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, retiring in 2021 with the rank of Major. Prior to launching Arquitos Capital Management, Steven was an attorney in private practice.

“Steven is attracted to companies with little debt and conservative balance sheets. We only accept investors who share our long-term time horizon and who understand that volatility is an opportunity for the portfolio, not a risk. And we understand that successful investing and risk management is overwhelmingly a psychological exercise where self-awareness, intellectual honesty, and an understanding of and interest in avoiding biases is required.”
