Miscellaneous
No Financial Planning or Implementation Services
Broad Run Investment Management, LLC does not provide financial planning
and related consulting
services regarding non‐investment related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc.
Additionally, our firm does not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agency, and no portion of our
services should be construed as same. Accordingly, we do not prepare estate planning documents or tax
returns, or sell insurance products.
Sub‐Advisory Engagements
Broad Run Investment Management, LLC may also serve as a sub‐adviser to unaffiliated registered
investment advisers per the terms and conditions of a written Sub‐Advisory Agreement. With respect to its
sub‐advisory services, the unaffiliated investment advisers that engage Broad Run Investment
Management, LLC's sub‐advisory services maintain both the initial and ongoing day‐to‐day relationship with
the underlying client, including initial and ongoing determination of client suitability for Broad Run
Investment Management, LLC's designated investment strategies.
Please Note: Directed Brokerage/Custodian
In the event that a client (and/or an investment adviser) directs Broad Run Investment Management, LLC to
effect securities transactions for the client’s accounts through a specific broker/dealer, the client
correspondingly acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to incur higher commissions or
transaction costs, potentially experience greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices on
transactions for the accounts than would otherwise be the case. Higher transaction costs adversely impact
account performance.
The firm is custodian neutral. However, in the event that a client maintains accounts at its own preferred
custodian rather than at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), the custodian typically recommended by
the firm, the client may incur higher fees than those charged by Schwab. Higher transaction costs adversely
impact account performance.
Unless directed to a specific broker/dealer, the firm shall utilize various executing broker/dealers for its
client accounts, in which event, the client can incur both the fee (commission, mark‐up/mark‐down)
charged by the executing broker/dealer and a separate “trade away” and/or prime broker fee charged by
the client’s designated account custodian. The firm is generally not in a position to negotiate such trade
away or prime broker fees with the client’s custodian.
Please Note: Investment Risk
Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that the future
performance of any specific investment or investment strategy (including the investments and/or
investment strategies recommended and/or undertaken by Broad Run Investment Management, LLC) will
be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Client Obligations
In performing our services, Broad Run Investment Management, LLC shall not be required to verify any
information received from a client or from the client’s other professionals, and is expressly authorized to
rely thereon. Moreover, each client is advised that it remains his/her/its responsibility to promptly notify
the firm of any change in his/her/its financial circumstances or investment objectives that might affect the
manner in which the firm manages the account.
