Permitted disclosures include, for instance, providing information to unrelated third parties who need to know such Information in order to assist us with providing services to you. Unrelated third parties may include broker/dealers, unaffiliated third-party investment advisors, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, and the custodian with whom your assets are held. In such situations, we stress the confidential nature of information being shared.
Changes To Our Privacy Policy
We will send you a copy of this Policy annually for as long as you maintain an ongoing relationship with us. Periodically we may revise this Policy and will provide you with a revised policy if the changes materially alter the previous Privacy Policy. We will not, however, revise our Privacy Policy to permit the sharing of non-public personal information other than as described in this notice unless we first notify you and provide you with an opportunity to prevent the information sharing.
