We
consider client privacy to be fundamental to our relationship
with our clients. We are committed to maintaining the
confidentiality, integrity, and security of clients’ personal
information entrusted to us. Internal policies have been
developed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing client
needs to be served.
We
never disclose information to nonaffiliated third parties,
except as permitted by law. We use financial information that
you provide to us to help you meet your personal financial goals
while guarding against any real or perceived infringements of
your rights of privacy.
Our policy with respect to personal information about you is
listed below:
To
help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, Federal law requires us to obtain and
record information that identifies each person who opens an
account. When you open an account we will ask you for your name,
address, date of birth, social security or tax I.D. number, and
driver’s license information.
We
do not sell client information - whether it is your personal
information or the fact that you are a Summit Portfolio
Management client - to anyone.
We maintain a secure
office and computer environment to ensure that your information
is not placed at unreasonable risk.
The categories of nonpublic information that we collect from a
client depend upon the scope of the client relationship. It will
include information about your personal finances, transactions
and accounts with other financial institutions, wills and
trusts, tax returns, qualified plan documents, and any other
financial documents needed in the financial planning process.
For unaffiliated third parties that require access to your
personal information, including financial services companies,
consultants, and auditors, we also require strict
confidentiality in our agreements with them and expect them to
keep this information private. Federal regulators may also
review our firm records as permitted by law.
Year-end account information, requested on your behalf (e.g.,
client accountant, attorney, etc.) will only be released upon
receiving your prior approval. At no time, shall such
information be released without authorized approval.
Personal identifiable information about you will be maintained
during the time you are a client, and for the required time
thereafter that such records are required to be maintained by
federal securities laws. After this required period of record
retention, all such information will be destroyed.
If
you have any questions concerning our privacy statement, please
contact us at (800) 683-5800.
Disclosure Notice 2006
The Portfolio models represent simulated
accounts and how the accounts would have performed if they had
been invested (using current allocations) in those asset
classes. Not all of the mutual funds currently used were in
existence since 1970. However, our data is based on
representative data of how funds currently used could have
performed in earlier periods utilizing index data.
The simulated models were rebalanced
monthly if any asset class target allocation deviated by
greater than 4%. For periods prior to the inception of the
mutual funds used, the asset class data was reduced quarterly
by the current expense ratio of the respective mutual fund for
that asset class. The expense ratios for the asset classes, as
of 12/31/2004, are: Short Term Bonds .24%, US Core .26%, US
Large Value Stocks .30%, US Megacap Stocks .15%, US Small
Value Stocks .55%, US Microcap Stocks .66%, International Core
.49%, International Large Value Stocks .48%, International
Small Value Stocks .75%, Emerging Markets .83%, REITs .37%,
Precious Metals .48%, Energy Stocks .32%. Clients should
refer to the applicable mutual fund prospectus for more
detailed information regarding fund management, costs, and
risk factors.
All
investments involve risk, including loss of principal. This is
especially the case with a model portfolio which has not been
subject to specific economic market forces. The portfolio
model data is a hypothetical representation of returns based
on the combination of various asset classes. The model return
data does not reflect actual client assets and is constructed
with the benefit of hindsight, utilizing statistical
methodology to construct efficient portfolios. The model data
should not be construed to be a guarantee or forecast of
future returns.
Periodically the portfolio models are updated to reflect
additional market (asset class) data and new developments in
academic portfolio research. Summit Portfolio Management was
not managing client assets as a Registered Investment Advisor
for the full period shown here. Summit Portfolio Management
manages assets utilizing passive asset class strategies based
on model portfolio data and also employs the same methodology
on a customized basis for clients. The results of the model
data would be slightly different for individual clients based
on the actual trading and management of the client account.
The model returns should not be construed to be indicative of
the advisors’ skill.
The
data does not include Summit Portfolio Management advisory fee
(see fee schedule on SEC Form ADV II). If a client paid the
maximum annual fee of 2% the annualized portfolio return would
be reduced by 2.26% from 1970 through 2005. Additional costs
due to custodian trading have not been reflected in the models
and average .06% per year.
Foreign
securities involve additional risks, including foreign
currency changes, political risks, foreign taxes and different
methods of accounting and financial reporting. Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future
performance. Treasury Bills and US Government Bonds are
guaranteed as to repayment of principal and interest by the US
Government.
