Independent Broker-Dealer Support

I attest that I am a US financial professional that is affiliated with a financial intermediary (the “intermediary”) that is a regulated intermediary and is registered with the appropriate regulatory authorities to the extent required.  By using this security and portfolio analysis tool, I agree that I will abide by the below terms and conditions.

The intermediary and its personnel have the sophistication, expertise and investment knowledge needed to evaluate securities and investments generally and are responsible for obtaining any additional information needed to fully understand the characteristics and risks of any securities and other investments identified and to evaluate the information in light of all pertinent factors. Bluerock Capital Markets, LLC (“BCM”) and its affiliates are not, and will not be, responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or use of any information provided in connection with this tool, and neither BCM nor its affiliates make any warranty, express or implied, concerning such information.

Access to the tools is being provided for the ongoing analysis of portfolios. They should be used as a component of the broader due diligence process. Exclusive reliance on the output of the tools is not advised. Do not construe the content or output as legal, tax or accounting advice. The intermediary may use these tools solely to supplement its internal deliberative process but will not distribute or show any its content to any of the intermediary’s clients unless the intermediary takes full responsibility for any investment decision or recommendation based on the tool content. The intermediary will not state or imply that BCM has made or endorsed any investment decision or recommendation, whether on specific securities or other investments or on a client’s portfolio as a whole, or otherwise has any relationship or obligations to any of the intermediary’s clients. Nothing in the arrangement under which BCM may provide the tools shall be construed to create or otherwise give rise to any relationship or obligation between BCM and any of the intermediary’s clients.

As between BCM and the intermediary, before making an investment decision or recommendation regarding a security or investment, the intermediary will interpose its own judgment and have a reasonable basis for any such decision or recommendation without having relied on information from BCM and take into account the client’s circumstances, objectives and risk tolerance to ensure the security or other investment is suitable for the client.

All outputs generated by the tools are based on information provided by you, the intermediary. By attesting below, you acknowledge, represent, warrant and agree that BCM via Fund Allocator powered by Equisoft does not: a) individualize the tool’s output to the needs, investment objectives, risk tolerance or financial circumstances of any specific retirement plan, IRA client or any other client of the intermediary using this tool, b) contract with your end-client or prospective clients using this tool, c) execute trades in your end-client’s portfolio, d) act as investment adviser or assume fiduciary status with respect to you or your end-client and does not have any control over whether its model is used in managing any specific client account and e) receive any fee or compensation directly from end clients who are plans or IRAs for use of the tools.

All fund analysis tools are being provided for informational purposes only. Results are based on historical performance which is unlikely to be repeated in the same way in the future. Each tool is educational in nature and not designed to be a recommendation for any specific investment product, strategy, plan feature or other purposes.
