Our clients’ privacy is our top priority. Our policy is to maintain strict confidentiality of all client information entrusted to us. We do not share any client information with any third parties, except as required by law or as authorized by our clients. This policy applies to prospective, current and former clients.
To provide our clients with an appropriate investment program and/or facilitate our provision of wealth management services, we gather certain financial information directly from our clients. This information is generally derived from our clients, reports, or discussions with third-party advisors, such as attorneys or accountants.
In the course of providing advisory and wealth management products and services to clients, we collect personal confidential information from various sources such as agreements, account forms, account transactions, and correspondence or telephone conversations. Such information may include name, address, account or tax identification number, the types and amounts of investments, and bank account information.
In the normal course of serving clients, information we collect may be shared only as necessary to service clients’ accounts or to complete transactions in clients’ accounts such as custodial accounts. The organizations that receive client information will use that information only for the services required and are not permitted to share or use this information for any other purpose, except as required by law. As part of our advisory and wealth management services, we may discuss client information on an as-needed basis with other advisors, such as accountants or attorneys.
Access to clients’ personal information is restricted to employees who need to access that information. We use industry standard physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect client information. A client’s right to privacy extends to all forms of contact with us, including telephone, written correspondence, and electronic media.
We understand the trust clients place in us as their financial advisor. Clients rely on us to act in their best interests and protect the confidentiality of personal information. Our privacy policy reflects the desire to safeguard data while providing the best possible service. Please call us at 312.957.4100 to discuss any aspect of our privacy policy.
