Larry Joy Kiyohiro

Larry Kiyohiro previously was a portfolio manager for First Hawaiian Bank, where he had discretionary authority for over $200 million in funds. Representative clients included the Hawaii Community Foundation ($40 million), the UH Endowment Fund ($20 million), Kapiolani Health System ($20 million), and the bank's Equity Income Fund ($30 million). His investment track record is successful, placing his client accounts consistently in the top quarter of all money managers nationwide.

Larry remains active in educating the community, and regularly teaches advanced investment courses at the UH Outreach College and the Kaimuki School for Adults. He is also on the faculty for the American Institute of Banking, as well as the Japan-America Institute of Management Science. Many people know Larry through his "Akamai Investor" radio show, which previously aired on KHVH and K-108 on the weekends.

He has worked as an investment banker for Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank's securities affiliate for over 5 years in Tokyo, where he designed mutual funds and raised capital for foreign governments and multi-national corporations using advanced financial engineering techniques. Larry's international experience is exhaustive, particularly in Asia, and even includes such exotic countries as Nauru, Gabon, Cyprus and the Faroe Islands.

He currently represents the U.S. Department of the Interior as an instructor/consultant to the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau. Larry teaches investment coursework to government officials and consults with the treasury and finance personnel in managing their public trust funds.

Apart from devoting his time to managing money for clients, Larry is also a licensed attorney with a very limited practice involving securities laws and investments. He graduated cum laude from the Gonzaga University School of Law as a full scholarship student, and did his undergraduate work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
