Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations - When F.I.G. Financial provides investment advice about
your retirement plan account or individual retirement account (“IRA”) including whether to maintain
investments and/or proceeds in the retirement plan account, roll over such investment/proceeds from the
retirement plan account to an IRA or make a distribution from the retirement plan account, we
acknowledge that F.I.G. Financial is a “fiduciary” within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) as applicable, which
are laws governing retirement accounts. The way F.I.G. Financial makes money creates conflicts with
your interests so F.I.G. Financial operates under a special rule that requires F.I.G. Financial to act in your
best interest and not put our interest ahead of you.
Under this special rule’s provisions, F.I.G. Financial must act as a fiduciary to a retirement plan account or
IRA under ERISA/IRC:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (e.g.,
give prudent advice);
• Never put the financial interests of F.I.G. Financial ahead of you when making
recommendations (e.g., give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that F.I.G. Financial gives advice that
is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for the services of F.I.G. Financial; and
• Give Client basic information
about conflicts of interest.
To the extent we recommend you roll over your account from a current retirement plan account to an
individual retirement account managed by F.I.G. Financial, please know that F.I.G. Financial and our
investment adviser representatives have a conflict of interest.
We can earn increased investment advisory fees by recommending that you roll over your account at the
retirement plan to an IRA managed by F.I.G. Financial. We will earn fewer investment advisory fees if you
do not roll over the funds in the retirement plan to an IRA managed by F.I.G. Financial.
Thus, our investment adviser representatives have an economic incentive to recommend a rollover of
funds from a retirement plan to an IRA which is a conflict of interest because our recommendation that
you open an IRA account to be managed by our firm can be based on our economic incentive and not
based exclusively on whether or not moving the IRA to our management program is in your overall best
interest.
We have taken steps to manage this conflict of interest. We have adopted an impartial conduct standard
whereby our investment adviser representatives will (i) provide investment advice to a retirement plan
participant regarding a rollover of funds from the retirement plan in accordance with the fiduciary status
described below, (ii) not recommend investments which result in F.I.G. Financial receiving unreasonable
compensation related to the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to an IRA, and (iii) fully disclose
compensation received by F.I.G. Financial and our supervised persons and any material conflicts of
interest related to recommending the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to an IRA and refrain from
making any materially misleading statements regarding such rollover.
When providing advice to your regarding a retirement plan account or IRA, our investment advisor
representatives will act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, based on the investment objectives, risk,
tolerance, financial circumstances, and a client’s needs, without regard to the financial or other interests
of F.I.G. Financial or our affiliated personnel.
