About Rather & Kittrell
Rather & Kittrell Capital Management is a Registered Investment Advisory firm. Lytle Rather and Chris Kittrell launched RK more than 20 years ago, based on the steadfast belief that “people come first.” In that time, a two-desk business has grown into an advisory firm that serves individuals, families, and businesses managing the transitions that inherently come with money.
At RK we begin with a foundational question: what’s best for our client? Everything we do is in service of that goal.
