Product Specific Disclosures

Corporate Bonds

Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by corporations to raise capital. The corporation promises to repay the loan at a specified future date and makes scheduled interest payments to the investor at a specified rate. Because bonds are senior to stock, interest and principal are paid to bondholders before dividends are paid to stockholders.  

Active secondary markets exist for most, but not all, bonds.  Many factors may affect performance and liquidity of bonds, and you may receive more or less than your original investment if you decide to sell.  Of course, if you hold your corporate bond until maturity, the issuer promises to pay back the full face value.

Virtually all investments have some degree of risk. The return on most investments is linked to the risk of that investment.  Investments with more risk generally offer the potential for higher returns. Conversely, relatively safe instruments such as insured CDs and U.S. Treasuries offer relatively lower returns.

Some risks common to most all bonds include:  

Credit Risk – financial risk that the issuer will not be able to repay the principal upon maturity as promised.  Call Risk – longer-term bonds are usually callable.  The bonds may be called before the maturity date if interest rates decrease, and an investor may not be able to reinvest the funds for an equal or greater return.  

Market Risk – if the bond must be sold before the maturity date, the bond may be worth more or less than the face value.  

Inflation Risk – recognizes the value of assets or of income will be eroded as inflation shrinks the value of a country’s currency. 

Liquidity Risk – some securities may be difficult to sell in the absence of an active secondary market. 

Interest Rate Risk – as interest rates rise, generally bond prices will fall.
The information provided herein is obtained from sources deemed reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness or suitability for any purpose and make no warranties with regard to the results to be obtained from its use.  Under no circumstances should the information provided herein be construed as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy a particular security.  Prices, yields and availability are subject to change.  Many factors exist which could impact yield.  Please call for more information.

Municipal Bonds

Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued by states, cities, counties and other governmental entities to raise money to build schools, highways, hospitals and sewer systems, as well as many other projects for the public good.  When you purchase a municipal bond, you are lending money to an issuer who promises to pay you a specified amount of interest (usually paid semiannually) and return the principal to you on a specific maturity date.  *Under present federal income tax law, the interest income you receive from investing in municipal bonds is free from federal income taxes.  In most states, interest income received from securities issued by governmental units within the state is also exempt from state and local taxes.  In addition, interest income from securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions is exempt from federal, state and local income taxes in all 50 states.  If you are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), you must include interest income from certain municipal securities in calculating the tax.  

When you invest in any bond, your primary concern should be the issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations.  Bond ratings are important benchmarks because they reflect a professional assessment of the issuer’s ability to repay the bond’s face value at maturity.  Generally, bonds rated BBB or Baa, or better, by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, or Moody’s, respectively, are considered “Investment Grade,” suitable for preservation of investment capital.  In general, as with any fixed-income investment, the higher the yield, the higher the risk.  If you sell your municipal bonds prior to maturity, you will receive the current market price, which may be more or less than their original price.  Many bond issues allow the issuer to call- or retire- all or a portion of the bonds at a premium, or at par, before maturity.  Special rules apply to a tax-exempt bond purchased at a premium or a discount and called or sold before maturity. (Since tax laws frequently change, consult with your tax lawyer or accountant for up-to-date advice).  

More information about municipal offerings is available in the issuer’s official statement and should be read carefully before investing.  Contact your investment specialist at the telephone number to receive an official statement.

Reverse Convertible Securities

A Reverse Convertible Note is a short-term coupon-bearing note providing enhanced yield relative to the common stock, while participating in certain equity-like risks.

In addition to offering current income, Reverse Convertible Notes offer limited downside protection. This feature allows for the underlying stock price to decrease by up to a predetermined percentage while still providing a return of principal at maturity.

In effect, the investor in the reverse convertible is selling the issuer a put option on the reference asset in exchange for an above-market coupon during the life of the note. Generally speaking, the higher the coupon rate, the higher the expected volatility of the reference asset, which in turn means greater likelihood that the knock-in price will be breached and the investor will receive less than a full return of principal at maturity.

Reverse convertibles can have complex pay-out structures involving multiple variables that can make it difficult for registered representatives and their customers to accurately assess their risks, costs and potential benefits.

Upside Auto Callable Single Observation Reverse Exchangeable Notes

Annual Percentage Yield (APY): Interest is quoted at an annualized rate, you may receive less than the stated annual rate depending on the amount of time until maturity. At maturity, holders receive either 100% of the original investment or a predetermined number of shares of the underlying stock.  If you receive shares, their value will be substantially less than the amount originally invested. Earning potential is limited to rate of interest.  Interest is guaranteed by the A+ rated issuer, principal is not.  These notes carry the risk of the underlying stock.  Either the performance of the underlying equity or the creditworthiness of the issuer may affect the value of the investment. May not be suitable for all investors.  This is not an offer to buy or sell securities. Is not listed on any securities exchange.  The price of the reference stock is subject to market volatility. and your protection may terminate on observation date. Please request and read a prospectus prior to investing.  Consult your financial representative and tax consultant for tax considerations.

Downside protection is the percentage amount that leads to the price below which the stock is not allowed to drop. If the stock price is above the single observed price on the single observation date, your principal is returned on maturity. If the underlying stock price is below the stated downside protection on single observation date, you receive shares of the underlying stock in lieu of principle, with a value less than your original investment. This instrument is designed to pay you interest each month until the note is called or comes due on the stated date.

Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Certificates of Deposit (“CDs”) issued by banks, savings associations and other depository institutions whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).Brokered CDs are obligations of the bank, not the broker.  Brokered CDs generally have the features of CDs available directly from banks and are eligible for the same deposit insurance as CDs purchased directly from banks.  Unlike banks, securities brokers are required to provide you with an estimated market value of your CD on your periodic account statement.  This is an estimate of the amount you might receive if you were able to sell your CD prior to its maturity.  You may not be able to sell your CD for the amount listed on the statement.  Also, the amount on the statement does not affect your deposit insurance, which is based on the outstanding principal amount of your CD, not the estimated market value.  Though not obligated to do so, some securities brokers may be willing to purchase, or arrange for the purchase of, your CD prior to maturity.  The broker may refer to this activity as a secondary market.  This is not early withdrawal.  The price you receive for your CD will reflect a number of factors, including then-prevailing interest rates, the time remaining until the CD matures, the features of the CD and compensation to the broker for arranging the sale of the CD.  Depending on market conditions, you may receive more or less than you paid for your CD.  The broker is free to discontinue offering you this service at any time.  Banks generally permit early withdrawal of brokered CDs without penalty upon the death or adjudication of incompetence of the depositor.  Some CDs allow the bank to redeem or “call” the CD at its sole discretion.  These CDs are termed “callable CDs.”  On predetermined dates, the bank can choose to give you your money back, (including accrued interest) and cancel the CD.  A call provision does not give you the right to redeem the CD.  Call features are typically incorporated in CDs with longer terms and the call feature may be combined with other features, such as a step rate.  Interest rate is quoted on an annualized rate.

Mutual Funds (Managed Investment Companies)

Mutual Funds offer a wide array of valuable investment opportunities.  When considering investing in mutual funds, it is important to carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, and expenses of any fund before investing.  The prospectus contains this and other important information and should be read fully before investing.

You may obtain a prospectus directly from the fund, or by contacting us at 800-872-0444. 


Among other considerations, understanding sales charges and breakpoint discounts will assist you in identifying the best investment for your particular needs and may help you reduce the costs of your investment. 

Sales Charges: When you purchase mutual funds, you must make choices, including which funds to purchase and which class share is most advantageous. Each mutual fund has a specified investment strategy. You need to evaluate whether a fund’s investment strategy is compatible with your investment objectives. Also, most mutual funds offer different share classes. Each share class represents a similar interest in the mutual fund’s portfolio, but the mutual fund will charge you different fees and expenses depending on your choice of share class. Generally, Class A shares carry a “front-end” sales charge or “load” that is deducted from your investment at the time you buy. This sales charge is a percentage of your total purchase. Many mutual funds offer volume discounts to the front-end sales charge assessed on Class A shares at predetermined levels of investment, called “breakpoint discounts.” In contrast, Class B and C shares usually do not carry any front-end sales charges, but investors who purchase Class B or C shares pay asset-based sales charges, which may be higher than the charges associated with Class A shares. Investors who purchase Class B and C shares may also be required to pay a sales charge known as a “contingent deferred sales charge” when they sell their shares, depending upon the rules of the particular mutual fund. 

Breakpoint Discounts: Most mutual funds offer investors a variety of ways to qualify for breakpoint discounts on the sales charge associated with the purchase of Class A shares, commonly to investors who make large purchases at one time. The extent of the discount depends upon the size of the purchase. Generally, as the amount of the purchase increases, the percentage used to determine the sales load decreases. The entire sales charge may be waived for investors making very large purchases of Class A shares. Mutual fund prospectuses contain tables that illustrate the available breakpoint discounts and the investment levels at which breakpoint discounts apply. Also, most mutual funds allow investors to qualify for breakpoint discounts based upon current holdings from prior purchases through “Rights of Accumulation,” and future purchases, based upon “Letters of Intent.” Mutual funds each have different rules regarding the availability of Rights of Accumulation and Letters of Intent.

Talk with us and review the mutual fund prospectus to determine the specific terms on which a mutual fund offers Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent


1. Rights of Accumulation Many mutual funds allow you to count the value of previous purchases of the same fund, or another fund within the same fund family, along with the value of your current purchase, to qualify for breakpoint discounts. Mutual funds allow you to count existing holdings in multiple accounts, such as IRAs or accounts at other broker-dealers, to qualify for breakpoint discounts. If you have accounts at other broker-dealers and wish to take advantage of the balances in these accounts to qualify for a breakpoint discount, you must advise your Siebert representative about those positions. You may need to provide documentation establishing the holdings in those other accounts if you wish to rely upon balances in accounts at another firm. Further, many mutual funds allow you to count the value of holdings in accounts of certain related parties, such as your spouse or children, to qualify for breakpoint discounts. Each mutual fund has different rules that govern which relationships allow you to qualify for breakpoint discounts. You’ll wish to discuss this with your Siebert representative or review the mutual fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information to determine what these rules are for the fund family in which you are investing. If you wish to rely upon the holdings of related parties to qualify for a breakpoint discount, be sure to tell your representative about these accounts. Mutual funds also follow different rules to determine the value of existing holdings. 

Most funds use the current net asset value (NAV) of existing investments in determining whether you qualify for a breakpoint discount. A small number of funds use the historical cost, which is the cost of the initial purchase, to determine eligibility for breakpoint discounts. If the mutual fund uses historical costs, you may need to provide account records, such as confirmations or statements, to qualify for a breakpoint discount based upon previous purchases.

Talk with your representative and review the fund’s prospectus to determine whether the mutual fund uses NAV or historical costs to determine breakpoint eligibility. 


2. Letters of Intent –  Most mutual funds allow you to qualify for breakpoint discounts by signing a Letter of Intent, which commits you to purchasing a specified amount of Class A shares within a defined period of time, usually 13 months. For example, when you plan to purchase a total of $50,000 worth of Class A shares over a period of 13 months, but each individual purchase would not qualify for a breakpoint discount, you could sign an LOI at the time of the first purchase and receive the breakpoint discount associated with $50,000 investments on your first and all subsequent purchases. Some funds offer retroactive Letters of Intent that allow you to rely upon purchases in the recent past to qualify for a breakpoint discount. If an investor fails to invest the amount required by the Letter of Intent, the fund is entitled to retroactively deduct the correct sales charges based upon the amount that the investor actually invested. If you intend to make several purchases within a 13 month period, you should consult your Sibert representative and the mutual fund prospectus to determine if it would be beneficial for you to sign a Letter of Intent. 

As you can see, understanding the availability of breakpoint discounts is important because it may allow you to purchase Class A shares at a lower cost. The availability of breakpoint discounts may save you money and may also affect your decision regarding the appropriate share class in which to invest.

Discuss the availability of breakpoint discounts with your Siebert representative, along with your other considerations in selecting a fund. 


To learn more about mutual fund share classes or mutual fund breakpoints, you may wish to review the investor alerts available on the FINRA Web site. See Understanding Mutual Fund Classes  here and Mutual Fund Breakpoints: A Break Worth Taking here. Visit the many mutual fund Web sites available to the public.

Margin Disclosure

Important Information about Using Margin


This document is being furnished to you to provide some basic information about purchasing securities on margin and to alert you to the risks involved with trading securities in a margin account. Before trading securities in a margin account, you should carefully review the margin terms in your account application and agreement. Please contact your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin account. When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you may borrow all or part of the purchase price from your brokerage firm, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC If you choose to borrow funds from your brokerage firm, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, you will open a margin account with National Financial Services LLC ("NFS"). The securities in your account are NFS' collateral for the loan to you. If the securities in your account decline in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and, as a result, NFS and your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, can take action, such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities or other assets in any of your account(s) held with NFS through your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, in order to maintain the required equity in the account.

NFS may also take action to sell securities or other assets in your account(s) held with NFS and with certain NFS affiliates.It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin.

These risks include the following:
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of securities you purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds or margin-eligible securities to NFS to avoid the forced sale of any securities or assets in your account(s).

NFS and your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account(s). If the equity in your account falls below the maintenance margin requirements or NFS' higher "house" requirements, NFS or your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, can sell the securities or other assets in any of your account(s) held at NFS through your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, to cover the margin deficiency. NFS may also take action to sell securities or other assets in your account(s) held with NFS and certain NFS affiliates.

You also will be responsible for any short fall in the account after such a sale, possibly including NFS' and/or your broker dealer's, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC’s, costs related to collecting the short fall. NFS and your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you. Some investors mistakenly believe that a firm must contact them for a margin call to be valid, and that the firm cannot liquidate securities or other assets in their account(s) to meet the call unless the firm has contacted them first. This is not the case. Most firms will attempt to notify their customers of margin calls, but they are not required to do so. In addition, even if a firm has contacted a customer and provided a specific date by which the customer can meet a margin call, the firm can still take necessary steps to protect its financial interests prior to that date, including immediately selling the securities without notice to the customer.

You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your account(s) are liquidated or sold to meet a margin call. Because the securities and any other assets in your account(s) are collateral for the margin loan, NFS or your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, has the right to decide which assets to sell in order to protect its interests. NFS can increase its "house" maintenance margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you advance notice. These changes in firm policy often take effect immediately and may result in the issuance of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause NFS or your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC, to liquidate or sell securities or any other assets in your account(s).

You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be available to customers under certain conditions, a customer does not have a right to the extension. Short selling is a margin account transaction and entails the same risks as described above.

NFS or your broker dealer, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC can effect a buy-in of securities to cover a short position in your account without contacting you and may use all or any portion of the assets in your account to make such a purchase. If the assets in your account are not sufficient to cover the cost of such a purchase, you will be responsible for any shortfall, which may include NFS and/or your broker dealer's, Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC’s, costs in collecting the shortfall. In addition to market volatility, the use of bank card, checkwriting and similar features in connection with your margin account may increase the risk of a margin call.

Margin credit is extended by National Financial Services LLC, Member NYSE, SIPC.

Customer Order Routing

SEC - Required Report of Customer Order Routing


Muriel Siebert & Co., LLC has prepared this report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order routing practices. The report provides information on the routing of "non-directed orders" - any order that the customer has not specifically instructed to be routed to a particular venue for execution.

The report is divided by each month of the reporting quarter. Each month is divided into three sections by orders routed in S&P 500 stocks, Non-S&P 500 stocks, and Options Orders. Each section provides routing percentages and rebate information for non-directed market, marketable limit, non-marketable limit and other orders. A “marketable limit order” is any buy order with a limit price equal to or greater than the national best offer at the time of order receipt, or any sell order with a limit price equal to or less than the national best bid at the time of order receipt. A “non-marketable limit order” is any limit order other than a marketable limit order.

National Financial Core Account Investment

If you have a money market fund for your core account investment vehicle, all core credits will be automatically swept into that fund. All investments must meet the fund’s investment minimums. Money in your core account investment vehicle earns dividends, as described in the applicable fund’s prospectus. If in the future you have a different money market fund for your core account investment vehicle, these provisions will still apply

In the event you hold a money market mutual fund in your core account that is subject to a liquidity fee or redemption gate (as described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus), upon notice to NFS by the fund that a liquidity fee or redemption gate has been imposed, NFS will remove the impacted fund from your core account and you will hold that fund as a non-core position in your account. Any future core transaction sweeps to the impacted money market mutual fund will cease and amounts in your account awaiting reinvestment will be held in a free credit balance as described in this agreement. The cash available and running collected balance in your account will be reduced by the amount of the value of the impacted money market mutual fund if the fund had been included in the cash available and running collected balance. Payment of debit items from your account will continue to be paid as described in this agreement, but NFS will only pay items from a money market fund that has imposed a liquidity fee as part of that payment process after the other sources are attempted. NFS and/or your Broker/Dealer will help facilitate the selection of a different core account.

 In the event you hold a money market mutual fund in your account that is held outside of your core account that is subject to a liquidity fee or redemption gate (as described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus), upon notice to NFS by the fund that a liquidity fee or redemption gate has been imposed, the cash available and running collective balance in your account will be reduced by the amount of the value of the impacted money market mutual fund. Payment of debit items from your account will continue to be paid as described in this agreement, but NFS will only pay items from a money market fund that has imposed a liquidity fee as part of that payment process after the other sources are attempted.

You acknowledge that if a money market mutual fund held in your account imposes a liquidity fee or redemption gate, the money market mutual fund may not provide NFS with much, if any, advance notice of such liquidity fee or redemption gate. As a result, you may not be notified of such liquidity fee or redemption gate when you submit a trade. However, as instructed by the fund (and disclosed in the fund prospectus), your trade will be subject to such liquidity fee or redemption gate, and it may be applied to your trade retroactively. Interest on any margin debt will accrue beginning the day credit is extended and is subject to the terms of the Supplemental Application for NFS Margin Account Privileges. Money market fund shares used to pay debits are redeemed at the NAV in effect at the time.

 

National Financial Services (NFS) Extended Hours Trading

Risks

Due to the nature of the extended hours session, trading during the extended hours may pose certain risks which are greater than the risks present during the regular trading session hours. Please review the below information:

 

  1. Risk of Communication Delays. Delays or failure in communication due to high volume of orders, or communications, or other computer system problems, may cause delays in, or prevent the execution of your order. Your Broker-Dealer or National Financial Services LLC is not liable for delays in the transmission of orders due to a breakdown or failure of transmission, communication or data processing facilities, or for any other cause beyond our reasonable control.
  2. Risk of Lower Liquidity. Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and sell securities. Generally, the more orders that are available in a market, the greater the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity it is easier for investors to buy and sell securities, and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities purchased or sold. There may be lower liquidity in the extended hours trading as compared to regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all.
  3. Risk of Higher Volatility. Volatility refers to the changes in price that securities undergo when trading. Generally, the higher the volatility of a security, the greater its price swings. There may be greater volatility in extended hours trading than in regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all, or you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular market hours.
  4. Risk of Timing of Order Entry. Orders entered during the extended trading session by other traders may be transmitted to the order book before your order, and thereby matching and removing the shares from the order book that you were trying to trade against. This may prevent your order from receiving an execution in whole or in part, at the price you were expecting. In addition, orders entered earlier at the same price level of your order have priority on your order. This means that, if there is an execution at that price level, the earlier orders will be executed before your order, unless you improve the price of your order.
  5. Risk of Changing Prices and Unlinked Markets. The prices of securities traded in extended hours trading may not reflect the prices either at the end of the regular market hours, or upon the opening of the next morning. As a result, you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular market hours. Depending on the extended hours trading system or the time of day, the prices displayed on a particular extended hours system may not reflect the prices in other concurrently operating extended hours trading systems dealing in the same securities. Accordingly, you may receive an inferior price in one extended hours trading system than you would in another extended hours trading system.
  6. Risk of Quotations Subject to Change. The current BID and ASK and Size quote displayed may change before your order has a chance to be matched. This means that there is no guarantee on price or that your order will be executed.
  7. Risk of News Announcements. Normally, issuers release new announcements that may affect the price of their securities after regular market hours. Similarly, important financial information is frequently announced outside of regular market hours. In extended hours trading, these announcements may occur during trading, and if combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility, may cause an exaggerated and unsustainable effect on the price of a security.
  8. Risk of Limit Orders. All extended hour orders must be entered with limit prices. That means that you must enter the price at which you would like your order to be executed before your order can be accepted. By entering the price, this means that you will never buy for more than the price you entered, or sell for less than your limit price. Although your order could be executed at a better price. By entering a limit price your order may not execute.
  9. Risk of Wider Spreads. The spread refers to the difference in price between what you can buy a security for and what you can sell it for. Lower liquidity and higher volatility in extended hours trading may result in wider than normal spreads for a particular security.
  10. Risk of Cancellation and /or Change Requests. You may attempt to cancel your order any time before it is executed. If all or a portion of your order is executed before your cancellation is received, (see above for the Risk of Communication Delays) that portion of your order which was executed cannot be cancelled. This means that you will be responsible for settling the portion of your order which was executed. In addition, once an order is partially executed, the remaining portion is only eligible for cancellation. Attempts to cancel orders are performed on a best efforts basis. This is no guarantee that an open order can be cancelled, in whole or in part.

  • The maximum order size is 25,000 shares.
  • Prices must be entered in decimals.
  • Only certain securities will be eligible for trading through the Extended Hours session. All orders must be entered for eligible securities accepted during the Extended Hours session. If a stock normally traded in the Extended Hours session closes on a trading halt during the regular trading session, or trading is later halted by its primary exchange or a regulatory authority, trading of that stock will be suspended in the Extended Hours session.
  • If Extended Hours premarket trading is available, orders can be placed from 7:00 A.M. to 9:28 A.M. ET. Premarket Orders received by your Broker-Dealer and NFS will be sent to the Extended Hours marketplace for execution in the order in which they are received. Your Broker-Dealer and NFS will continue to send Premarket Orders to the Extended Hours marketplace until 9:28 A.M. ET unless trading is halted prior to 9:28 A.M.
  • If Extended Hours post market trading is available, after hours orders can be placed from 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. ET (After Hours Orders).

Your Broker-Dealer and NFS will continue to send After Hours Orders to the Extended Hours marketplace until 8:00 P.M. ET unless trading is halted prior to 8:00 P.M.
  • If Extended Hours premarket trading is available, orders not filled during the Extended Hours Premarket session are automatically canceled if they are not filled by the end of the session (i.e., 9:28 A.M. ET unless trading is halted prior to 9:28 A.M.) during which they were placed. You must re-enter these orders during normal market hours if you still wish to have your Broker-Dealer and NFS execute the trades. Orders not filled during the Extended Hours after hours session are automatically canceled if they are not filled by the end of the session (i.e., 8:00 P.M. ET unless trading is halted prior to 8:00 P.M.) during which they were placed.

Thus, your order may be presented in any one of several eligible Extended Hours marketplaces. Your Broker-Dealer and NFS are not liable for delays in the transmission of orders due to a breakdown or failure of transmission, communication or data processing facilities, or for any other cause beyond our reasonable control.
