Potential Conflicts

Because BlueFin offers broker/dealer and related services to its clients, we may act as principal for our own account or act as agent for our customers in connection with the sale or purchase of securities that are the subject of BlueFin’s research and analysis. Any profit or compensation which BlueFin would be entitled to in connection with such a transaction could potentially create a conflict of interest. You acknowledge this potential conflict and understand that you may choose other broker/dealers for such securities transactions.

SEC Disclosure

In compliance with SEC Rules 11Ac1-3 and 11Ac1-6, we are required to disclose the following information regarding Payment for Order flow, Order Routing Decisions, and Execution Practices.

BlueFin receives no remuneration for directing orders in Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) securities to particular OTC market makers for execution. All OTC orders taken by the Firm and executed through OTC market makers are held to "best price" practices and are exposed to price improvement opportunities.

BlueFin is required to make publicly available electronic reports that include uniform statistical measures of execution quality, payment for order flow data and the venues to which customer orders are routed to all Market Centers. “Market Centers” are defined as "any exchange market maker, alternative trading system, national securities exchange, or national securities association." This information is available from our website, www.Bluefinresearch.com, or in writing upon request. These execution reports will become available thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each fiscal quarter. Upon a customer request, we will also disclose where an individual order was routed.

Customer Privacy Policy

In providing products and services, BlueFin may collect individual client information such as, but not limited to, names, addresses, social security numbers and information concerning client transactions (“Nonpublic Personal Information”). We restrict access to Nonpublic Personal Information about our clients to Firm employees who need to know such information to provide client products or services. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard client Nonpublic Personal Information.

BlueFin does not rent or sell Nonpublic Personal Information of its clients or former clients to any third party. Client Nonpublic Personal Information is only disclosed to third parties as necessary to service client needs or as may be required by law. Any third party who receives Nonpublic Personal Information of BlueFin’s clients or any former client is required by law and/or contract to safeguard the confidentiality of that information and may not use such information for any unauthorized purpose.
