Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
As a fiduciary, our firm and its associates have a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interests
of each client. Our clients entrust us with their funds and personal information, which in turn places a high
standard on our conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core aspect of our Code of Ethics and
represents the expected basis of all of our dealings.
This code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of
its specific provisions will not shield associated persons from liability for personal trading or other conduct
that violates a fiduciary duty to advisory clients. A summary of the Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined
below.
•
Integrity - Associated persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity.
4
•
Objectivity - Associated persons shall be objective in providing professional services to clients.
•
Competence - Associated persons shall provide services to clients competently and maintain the
necessary knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are engaged.
•
Fairness - Associated persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and
reasonable to clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of interest in
providing such services.
•
Confidentiality - Associated persons shall not disclose confidential client information without the
specific consent of the client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by law.
•
Professionalism - Associated persons’ conduct in all matter shall reflect credit of the profession.
•
Diligence - Associated persons shall act diligently in providing professional services.
We will, upon request, promptly provide a complete code of ethics.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and
Conflicts of Interest
Neither our firm, its associates or any related person is authorized to recommend to a client, or effect a
transaction for a client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial
interest, such as in the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, etc.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts
of Interest
Our firm and its “related persons” do not invest in the same securities, or related securities, e.g., warrants,
options or futures, which we recommend to clients.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities
Because our firm and its “related persons” do not invest in the same securities, or related securities, e.g.,
warrants, options, or futures, which we recommend to clients, we do not trade in securities at or around
the same time as clients.
Investment Advice Relating to Retirement Accounts
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement
account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way
we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions,
we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
5
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
In addition, and as required by this rule, we provide information regarding the services that we provide to
you, and any material conflicts of interest, in this brochure and in your client agreement.
