You should consult your tax advisor and/or estate planning attorney for any legal or accounting needs.

Disclosure 2 Third Party Rating

Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms: According to Barron’s, participation in the Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking is by invitation from Barron’s only. Firms submit answers to Barron’s questionnaire and Barron’s is responsible for selecting the ranked firms. Participating firms were evaluated and ranked on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data, including assets overseen by the firm, revenue generated by the firm, level of technology spending, number of clients, size of staff, diversity across staff, and placement of a succession plan. The ranking is not indicative of the BFS’s past or future performance. Neither BFS nor its executives pay a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the ranking. BFS is not affiliated with and does not endorse Barron’s and makes no representations concerning the factors used in compiling the list. Other firms that are not included in Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking have different assets under management/revenue than the firms included in Barron’s Top 100 RIA Ranking. If Barron’s were to use different methodologies or include all relevant firms, the results may be materially different. There may be other rankings or statistics where BFS would rank higher or lower than as described herein. The firms included in Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking have materially different investment strategies, terms, and risk and reward profiles as compared to BFS. As a result, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking, and Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking should not be used as a basis for any investment decision. Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking is provided for illustrative and general comparison purposes only and does not include all information applicable to an investment in any BFS product or account. As a result, the information contained in the Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firm Ranking is incomplete. There can be no assurance that BFS will achieve a comparable ranking in the future. This material does not constitute or form part of an offer to issue or sell, or of a solicitation of an offer to subscribe or buy, any securities or other financial instruments, nor does it constitute a financial promotion, investment advice, or an inducement or incitement to participate in any product offering or investment. Any offer to purchase or buy securities or other financial instruments will only be made pursuant to definitive offering documentation, which will be furnished to qualified investors on a confidential basis at their request for their consideration in connection with any such offering.
