Information That We Collect
As part of providing you with our services, we obtain nonpublic personal information about you, which may include the following:
- in the course of evaluating an account for suitability, information we receive from you on applications or other forms including name, address, social security number, assets and income;
- in the course of handling an account, information about your transactions with us or others.
Information That We Share and Why It Is Important
We use or share information in a limited and carefully controlled manner. We do not disclose any nonpublic information about our customers or former customers or prospective customers to anyone, except as permitted by law, unless authorized by you. Instances in which we may share your information with nonaffiliated third parties include:
- Inclusion of certain names on a Representative Client List. The Representative Client List is contained in our standard marketing material and examples of those who may receive the list include: existing clients, prospective clients, consultants for prospective clients and prospective fund managers;
- Disclosure to companies that provide services necessary to effect a transaction that you request or to service your account such as prime brokers, accountants, banks, attorneys or administrators;
- Disclosure to government agencies, courts, parties to lawsuits, or regulators in response to subpoenas. In such cases, we share only the information that we are required or authorized to share.
Confidentiality and Security
The security of your account information is important to us. Only those persons who need your information to perform their job have access to it. In addition, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural security measures that comply with federal regulations to protect your information. Our employees have limited access to your personal information based upon their responsibilities. All employees are instructed to protect the confidentiality of your personal information as described in these policies, which are strictly enforced.
Opportunity to “Opt-Out”
If you prefer that we not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties (through our Representative Client List), you may “opt out” of those disclosures. This means that you may direct us not to include your name on our Representative Client List (other than disclosures permitted by law). If you wish to opt out of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties, you may call Robert J. Kirby, the Chief Compliance Officer, at (212) 863-2328. You may exercise this right to opt out at any time.
