Brightstone is owned and controlled by Mr. Andy Jogie and was founded to pursue investment
opportunities on behalf of its Clients globally. Brightstone, taking an active approach to
investment, forges financial acumen, independent analysis with hands-on operational expertise to
deliver investment returns to its Clients.
Brightstone offers portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time
horizon, and risk tolerance of each Client. Brightstone requires discretionary authority from
Clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the Client
prior to each transaction. Brightstone seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in
accordance with its fiduciary obligations owed to its Clients and without consideration of
Brightstone’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations,
Brightstone attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that
systematically advantage or disadvantage any Client portfolios. It is Brightstone’s policy to
allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent
among all of its Clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
Each Client is required to enter into an Investment Brightstone Contract (“IAC”) with Brightstone
that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of Brightstone and the Client.
Client authorizes Brightstone to respond to inquiries from, communicate and share information
with Client’s accountants, attorneys, advisors and other consultants or professionals as deemed
necessary by Brightstone to provide its services to Client and/or as requested by Client. No
services other than those discussed in the IAC, such as financial planning, are implied or
guaranteed, except as individually negotiated and confirmed in writing. Brightstone is responsible
only for the assets over which Client has provided Brightstone discretionary authority and not for
the diversification or prudent investment of any other assets of Client.
Brightstone acts as a fiduciary regarding its investment advisory services for each Client and must
put the Client’s interests above its own in managing a Client’s account. Brightstone agrees to
provide these services to a Client in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duty to Clients and the
provisions of all applicable laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Before signing the IAC and periodically during the parties’ advisory relationship, Brightstone will
provide Client written disclosures
of any conflicts of interest that might reasonably compromise
Brightstone’s impartiality or independence. Brightstone represents and warrants that Brightstone
does not receive compensation or other remuneration that is contingent on any Client’s purchase
or sale of a financial product. Brightstone does not receive a fee or other compensation from
another party based on the referral of a Client or Client’s business. Brightstone may refrain from
rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies in which Brightstone may
have substantial economic interest or other conflict, unless Brightstone discloses such conflict to
Client before providing such advice or services with respect to Client’s account. These services
include the following:
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Brightstone, in connection with the
Client, will develop a statement that summarizes the Client’s investment goals and
objectives along with the strategy[ies] to be employed to meet the objectives.
Brightstone then creates an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) for each Client.
Brightstone may invest Client’s account in securities of any kind, including but not
limited to, common or preferred stock, warrants, rights, corporate, municipal or U.S.
Treasury bonds or notes, and mortgage-backed securities, so long as such investments
are consistent with the investment objectives set forth in the incorporated Statement of
Investment Policy. Brightstone may hold all or a portion of Client’s account in cash.
• Risk tolerance levels are documented in the IPS, which is given to each Client. An IPS
generally includes specific information on the Client’s stated goals, time horizon for
achieving the goals, investment strategies, Client risk tolerance and any restrictions
imposed by the Client.
• Asset Allocation – Brightstone will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted
to meet the Client’s investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and risk
tolerance.
• Portfolio Construction – Brightstone will construct a portfolio for the Client that is
intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Brightstone will provide investment
management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. Brightstone
will monitor Client’s account on an ongoing basis and conduct periodic portfolio
reviews with Client. Brightstone will generally be available to discuss Client’s account
during normal business hours and will contact Client periodically. Brightstone will
attempt to meet with Client at least annually to discuss Client’s investment needs, goals
and objectives. Brightstone will also review Client’s account performance and the
continued suitability of investments recommended by Brightstone for Client at least
quarterly.
Clients may terminate the IAC at any time and immediately upon written notice to Brightstone.
