Like all personal financial service providers, investment advisors are now legally required to inform clients about their policies regarding the privacy of client information. Investment advisors must adhere to strict professional confidentiality standards that go beyond legal requirements, and they will continue to do so. Therefore, we have always been committed to protecting your privacy rights.
We may collect non-public personal information about you, which you provide to us or which we may collect with your permission. This personal information generally includes, but is not limited to: Identification data and data used to communicate with account holders and investors (e.g., name, title, current and previous addresses [private and professional], phone numbers [private and professional], email address, age/date of birth, place of birth, nationality, gender, citizenship status, and photograph). Identification numbers received from account holders, investors, or third parties (e.g., tax, passport, national, or other identification numbers).Personal bank account and financial information (e.g., account identification and numbers, income, and— for professional investors—financial licenses).
We do not disclose or reserve the right to disclose non-public personal information obtained during the course of our business, except as required or permitted by law. Permitted disclosures may include, for example, sharing information with employees, affiliates, parent companies, and, in limited circumstances, unrelated third parties who need to know the information to help provide services you have requested or authorized (including, but not limited to, service providers, proxy voting service providers, index providers, and back-office operations specialists). In all such cases, we emphasize the confidentiality of the shared information.
We maintain records related to the professional services we provide to better support your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. To protect non-public personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that adhere to professional standards. Your privacy, our professional ethics, and our ability to provide you with high-quality financial services are of utmost importance to us. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
