Team-Oriented Culture
You’ll be surrounded by colleagues who value teamwork, clear communication, and mutual respect. KAR is a place where people are encouraged to share ideas, learn from one another, and grow over time—professionally and personally.
Our History
Founded in Los Angeles in 1984, KAR has grown over more than 40 years with a consistent focus on quality, disciplined research, and long term thinking. Since entering traditional investment management in 1989, the firm has remained independent and rooted in its original principles.
Investing in the Next Generation
Developing future investment professionals is an important part of how we think about the long term—both for our firm and for the financial services industry. KAR’s internship program is designed to give students meaningful exposure to our work, offering hands‑on experience alongside professionals across the firm. To see what a summer at KAR looks like from the interns themselves, visit our YouTube channel for highlights from past internship classes.
