Kaylee Feathers
Junior portfolio manager
Kaylee is a valued member of the AFI team, bringing both academic excellence and meaningful industry experience to her role. She earned her bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Memphis in 2021, where she balanced her love for numbers with indoor rock climbing and the occasional treat from Gibson’s Donuts, before returning home to Kingsport. In the fall of 2023, she completed her MBA at East Tennessee State University, further strengthening her strategic and analytical foundation.
At AFI, Kaylee works directly with individuals and families to design and implement investment strategies tailored to their goals. She plays an active role in portfolio construction and market analysis, combining her finance background and industry experience to identify opportunities and thoughtfully evaluate market outlooks. Dedicated to understanding the unique needs of each client, Kaylee believes communication is key and strives to build lasting relationships grounded in trust and a genuine commitment to going the extra mile.
Outside the office, Kaylee is equally invested in her community. She is a proud member of the Kingsport Rotary Club and has the privilege of chairing the Youth Services Committee. Staying active is important to her, whether that means a competitive match of tennis, a relaxed evening walk with her husband Zack and their rescued pup Raleigh, or confidently accepting any board game challenge, especially if it involves Settlers of Catan.
