Form CRS Disclosure
What Is Form CRS?
Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary), required by SEC Rule 17a-14, is a brief plain-English summary of our relationship with retail investors. It is designed to help you make an informed decision about whether to engage our firm. Form CRS covers:
- The services we offer
- The fees you will pay
- Our legal obligations to you
- Conflicts of interest that affect the advice we provide
- How our financial professionals are compensated
- Whether the firm or any of our financial professionals has any legal or disciplinary history
Access Our Current Form CRS
Our current Form CRS is available below and on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) database.
Conversation Starters
The SEC suggests several questions that retail investors should ask any financial professional they are considering engaging. We welcome these questions:
- Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
- How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
- What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education, and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?
- Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
- How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
- As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For what type of conduct?
- Who is my primary contact person? Is he or she a representative of an investment adviser or a broker-dealer? Who can I talk to if I have concerns about how this person is treating me?
Annual Delivery
SEC rules require us to deliver our current Form CRS to each existing retail client annually, and to notify clients of material changes to the Form. We typically deliver the current Form CRS along with our annual privacy notice and annual ADV brochure offer letter.
