Important Information About Procedures For Opening A New Account With TCV
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth (in the case of an individual), taxpayer identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying document in order to verify the information that you have provided to us. We are required by law to attempt to match the information provided by you against lists issued by various governmental agencies to confirm that you are not a known or suspected terrorist or in any way affiliated with a known or suspected terrorist group.
If you have any questions about this process, please discuss them with your account officer or our internal anti-money laundering program coordinator. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding with this process.
Disclosure Statement for TCV
Class Action Litigation: TCV will participate in class action litigation only when deemed beneficial to the account by TCV. Should the account holder desire to participate in class action litigation not deemed beneficial by TCV, the account holder accepts full responsibility for gathering information required to participate and holds TCV harmless for any performance of the litigation.
Objection To Disclosure of Beneficial Ownership
In an effort to permit direct communications between a company which issues securities and the shareholder who votes the securities, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted a rule, referenced as 14b-1c, “Shareholders Communication Act”.
For your protection, the Rule prohibits the requesting company from using your name and address for any purpose other than corporate communications.
TCV is authorized to refuse to disclose the Owner’s name, address, and security position(s) of current and/or future holdings that the Owner(s) may own from time to time pursuant to SEC Rule #14b-1(c).
Soft Dollar Arrangement: TCV has in place limited soft dollar relationships with third parties to obtain investment research. Soft dollar relationships are generally arrangements whereby credits are generated by account securities transactions to pay for investment research or other products and services benefiting discretionary accounts. If you would like additional information on soft dollar arrangements or the research that is obtained, please contact your account investment officer.
Investor Disclosure: Investments are not insured by the FDIC, and are not a deposit or other obligation of, or guaranteed by, the TCV, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal amount invested.
