CERTIFICATIONS

I, Barbara L. Bowles, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this report on Form N-CSR of The Kenwood Funds;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of  operations,  changes in net
     assets, and cash flows (if the financial statements are required to include
     a statement  of cash flows) of the  registrant  as of, and for, the periods
     presented in this report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
     procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment Company Act of
     1940) for the registrant and have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to ensure  that
          material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,   including  its
          consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to me by others within those
          entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
          prepared;

     b)   evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     c)   presented in this report my conclusions about the effectiveness of the
          disclosure  controls and  procedures  based on my evaluation as of the
          Evaluation Date;

5.   I have disclosed,  based on my most recent evaluation,  to the registrant's
     auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's  board of trustees (or
     persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a)   all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          controls  which could  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record,  process,  summarize,  and  report  financial  data  and  have
          identified for the  registrant's  auditors any material  weaknesses in
          internal controls; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          controls; and

6.   I have  indicated  in this  report  whether or not there  were  significant
     changes in internal  controls or in other factors that could  significantly
     affect  internal  controls  subsequent  to  the  date  of  my  most  recent
     evaluation,  including any  corrective  actions with regard to  significant
     deficiencies and material weaknesses.
