Clarence H. (K.C) King, III is a wealth management and an endowment, foundation, and nonprofit financial advisor based in Boston.

K.C. works primarily with individuals and families across generations and with church and not-for-profit endowments.

After earning an AB degree in European history from Harvard College, he began his career at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company in New York, eventually switching to wealth management and corporate banking in Boston.

In 2003, he joined Emerson Investment Management. Through various mergers, the organization became Boston Financial Management, which became CAPTRUST in late 2024.

An avid photographer and oarsman, K.C. struggles with a five-string banjo in his spare time, ultimately turning to reading history or listening to bluegrass and blues. He also has served in many financial, stewardship, and vestry positions in several Episcopal churches.
