Message from the President
Scott J. Ward, CFA
President, CFA Society Kansas City
Dear Fellow KC CFA Society Members,
Our society is thriving with over 450 members and consistently excellent programs and
events. The board and volunteers work hard to deliver value to our membership through
prudent planning and wise allocation of resources. Our society is positioned well for
continued success in the future.
We had a full calendar of engaging events this year: monthly speaker programs, the golf tournament, the
research challenge, the mock exam, the new charterholders dinner and a couple of networking happy hours.
Thanks to our annual golf tournament over the past several years, we were able to add $100,000 to an
endowed scholarship at UMKC with $50K coming from our society and $50K being matched by a grant
from the Bloch Family Foundation.
The Research Challenge was another highlight this year. A team from Kansas City won the local and regional
competition and went on to compete as one of the top three teams globally in Singapore.
New initiatives this past year included:
1.

A new upgraded website and social media presence
A Board Manual to help provide continuity and consistency
A Newsletter to help communicate with our membership
The Benjamin Korschot Scholarship
Thank you to all the board members with whom I have had the pleasure of working through the years and
especially our Executive Administrator, Julie Froneberger. Working with this group over the past many years has
produced laughter and friendships and most importantly an outstanding CFA society of which I am proud to be
a member.
Thank you.

Michael White, CFA
In fiscal year 2014, the CFA Society Kansas City continued its effort to promote the CFA
designation via outreach to both universities and CFA candidates. It is through these efforts that we strive to raise awareness of and promote the CFA designation in the Kansas City
community. Below are some of the highlights from the past fiscal year.
In November, the Society congratulated our newest CFA Charterholders following a dinner in their honor held at Lidia’s Kansas City.
CFA Exam Scholarships
In December, we were pleased to award seven CFA Institute CFA Exam Access Scholarships.
Entirely funded by the CFA Institute, these scholarships helped defray a portion of the cost of
registering for the 2014 CFA Exams.

In the spring of 2014, the Society again provided two opportunities for CFA Candidates to
further prepare for the June 2014 CFA Exam. The Society provided access to the USC/CFALA CFA
Exam Review Program, a live-streaming review course available online to candidates sitting for
all three levels of the CFA Exam. Additionally, CFA Society Kansas City hosted a Mock Exam in
May at the American Century Auditorium, providing candidates the opportunity to take part in a
simulated exam environment, from registration upon arrival to a timed exam provided by either
the Boston Securities Analysts Society or Kaplan Schweser. The answer key to the exam was
provided for the purpose of self-grading, and participants also had the option of purchasing and
taking home with them the exam and answer key for the exam they did not take live.
CFA Society Kansas City again hosted a post-exam party at the Granfalloon on the Country Club
Plaza immediately following the June 2014 CFA Exam. Food and drinks were provided, as the
candidates networked and celebrated the completion of another CFA Exam.
Late in fiscal year 2014, Jacob Boan, a student at UMKC, was named as the first recipient of the
newly-established Benjamin C. Korschot Scholarship. Mr. Korschot, who passed away in 2010,
played a significant role in the advancement of the investment industry on a local, national and
global basis. His contributions include serving as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Financial
Analysts Federation in 1978-79, and later serving as Chair of the Board of Governors of the
Investment Company Institute from 1980-82. This $5,000 scholarship will be awarded
annually and is open to any graduate or undergraduate student in the area of investments,
in their third year of study or later.

Treasurer Update
John Indellicate II, CFA
The CFA Society Kansas City maintained its strong balance sheet during 2013-2014. Reserves continue to be in excess of two years operating budget, which gave the board confidence to maintain roughly the same level of spending as the prior year, despite recognizing some headwinds to the revenue line.
Revenues of $109,088 were 23% lower than last year. Membership dues were down 22%,
in part because a large portion of members pulled forward their renewals into the previous fiscal year. Golf
revenue was also lower, falling 34%. Again, this was due to a tough comparison, as the previous fiscal year
reported above average revenue due to several 2012 sponsors making their cash payments after the
June 30th fiscal year end. Billing and collections efforts for the golf event have improved dramatically,
resulting in a tighter correlation between the calendar year and fiscal year cash receipts.
Expenses fell 4% to $96,955. Relative to the budget approved by the board early in the fiscal year,
programming expense was lower than budget mainly due to the ability of the programming committee
to find high quality speakers without the need to pay speaker fees. The Research Challenge also came in
under budget, as the winning team had fewer team members, requiring fewer per person expenses.
Overall operating income fell 71% to $12,132 as the lower revenue flowed through the income statement.
This was well within the board’s expectations, which had made the strategic decision to continue spending
to maximize value to the members, rather than continue to build reserves on the balance sheet.
The Board took action during the year to work down the funds on the balance sheet designated for
scholarships, which had built over several years of successful golf tournaments. As such, the board approved
a $50,000 contribution to endow a scholarship at UMKC’s Bloch School of Business, taking advantage of a
generous matching program that was being offered. Total assets and equity on the balance sheet dropped as
a result, driven entirely by the assets designated for scholarships. Undesignated assets rose because of the
positive operating income.
The balance sheet and profit & loss statement are presented on the following pages.

Technology Update
Kevin Jaeger, CFA
Quite a bit of progress was made in the technology committee’s first year on the board. Social media accounts were established and are now in routine maintenance, which
ultimately provides another method for communication with society members and
awareness among CFA candidates. In addition, we were excited to launch a new website during the year, bringing a number of benefits to our members and board. The new site
offers a good deal of flexibility for content management and event registration, is more
user friendly in terms of navigation and layout, better integrates with our social media platforms and provides
easy storage and access to board materials. Goals over the coming year will be to create archives or live
streams of society events, more focus on photography and exploring additional ways to leverage our social
media platforms.

Public Awareness Update
Matthew Montgomery, CFA
Over the past year, the CFA Society of Kansas City has pursued and benefited from a
number of opportunities to publicly promote our institute and our mission. First and
foremost, the success of the University of Missouri-Kansas City team making it to the finals
of the CFA Institute Research Challenge provided us with a wonderful opportunity to raise
public awareness of our initiatives through local outlets. Our local media, including the
Kansas City Star, picked up on the success of the team and ran an article on the
competition. Over the past several years, this investment challenge has proven helpful in raising public
awareness of the society and our mission not only among college students, but among the general public as
well. We look forward to the future growth of the CFA Institute Research Challenge and the success of our
local universities in that competition.
Every November, the Society hosts a dinner to honor new charter holders and welcome them. This year, in
addition to the charter holder’s dinner, we placed an announcement in the Kansas City Star Business Weekly,
congratulating each of these new charter holders. We believe that this was an effective way to announce the
accomplishment of each of our 2013 new members and generate awareness of the CFA program.
The Society has also gained recognition through its support of the Kansas City Symphony. For the third
straight year, we placed a half-page advertisement in the playbills distributed at all of the regularly scheduled
performances of the Kansas City Symphony. We continue to receive a discounted rate for this advertisement.
The board has received positive feedback from numerous members concerning the playbill advertisements,
as many of our members have local clients who regularly attend the symphony. As a result of this positive
feedback, we plan to continue this effort next year.

CFA Institute Research Challenge Update
As industry professionals, there was a time in each of our lives when were just deciding to pursue a career in
the investment industry. For most of us it was in our formative college days when we were trying to learn
everything we could to give us the best shot of reaching our goals. For years, one of the leading interests of our
local Kansas City Society has been to facilitate the education and development of bright young college
students in our community who are just starting that path into the world of finance, similar to ours years ago.
As the success of our Annual Golf Fundraising Event has grown, we have made an effort to use the excess
funds generated from the event to provide scholarships to our local universities. Our goal, with the help of the
universities, has been to identify bright, young, local candidates who have already decided to pursue a career
in investment management. The ideal candidates are those who have already taken coursework in finance and
investment management and plan to continue that focus on the graduate level, with the eventual goal of
pursuing their CFA Charter and a career in our industry.
In our efforts to find the best use for our society scholarship funds, we have researched endowment
opportunities with several local universities. In 2007 we decided to endow an initial CFA Society Scholarship
fund with the University of Missouri-Kansas City in the amount of $30,000. In 2009 we contributed an additional
$5,000 to that fund. We have been pleased with our experience with the University over the years, and with the
benefits to recipients. The funds have provided needed assistance to many eventual graduates of the Bloch
School who ended up in the investment industry.
In 2013, in an effort to find a home for additional scholarship funds, we learned of a matching program with the
Bloch Business School, whereby any scholarship commitments made to the school would be matched by the
Bloch Endowment. As we researched opportunities with other local universities, we found that this was very
unique. Early this year we decided to make an additional commitment to our original scholarship with the school
in the amount of $50,000, which was matched by the Bloch Endowment. This brought our total CFA Endowment
principal to $135,000, making it the largest and most attractive scholarship for the best and brightest
students majoring in investments and finance. The scholarship will now produce $6,075 available for annual
distribution to a student in the Bloch Business School.
The University has been a terrific partner in our efforts and they are very grateful for our generosity. According
to the acting Dean, David Donnelly, “As the Bloch School continues its momentum toward becoming a nationally
preeminent school of management by growing and adding innovative programs, doubling student enrollment
and hiring the best faculty, attracting the best and brightest students to Bloch is imperative for our success.
The generosity of donors like the CFA Society makes it possible for us to do so, and we continue to seek
community partners in building this initiative.”
Our Society is now focusing on the establishment of a second scholarship in the name of one of the early
leaders of our local society, Mr. Ben Korschot. Mr. Korschot, who passed away in 2010, was fundamental in the
growth of our society and in the investment community in Kansas City. Our plan is to establish a scholarship in
his name, in the annual amount of $5,000, open to any graduate or undergraduate student in the area of
investments, in their third year or later. We are still finalizing the details of this scholarship but will certainly
provide more details in the near future.
