STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE ON CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A conflict of interest arises when the interests of different people, such as those of a client and those of FINMETRIX Inc. (FINMETRIX) or of one of its representatives (administrators, directors, associates and employees) are incompatible or divergent.  As a derivatives portfolio manager, FINMETRIX ensures that its clients are informed of existing or potential conflicts of interest that could arise.

FINMETRIX takes all reasonable measures to identify and limit all material conflicts of interest that could arise or that it can expect to arise.  The firm assesses the level of risk associated with each conflict and avoids any circumstances that involve a serious conflict of interest or that present too great a risk for its clients.  In any other circumstance that will present a conflict of interest, FINMETRIX seeks to implement appropriate measures to effectively control the conflict. 

FINMETRIX activities and those of its representatives are governed by a code of conduct and compliance handbook.  These establish as a fundamental principle the precedence of the client’s interests over those of FINMETRIX and of its representatives.  

FINMETRIX representatives must divulge to concerned clients any conflict of interest or any personal interest in a security or an investment which could affect their ability to provide objective and impartial advice. 

FINMETRIX representatives must divulge to their employer any reasonable situation which one could reasonably expect to impair their ability to provide objective and impartial advice and which could impact their ability to fulfil their obligations towards their employers.  

FINMETRIX ensures that its compensation practices are not incompatible with its obligations towards its clients.  In the context of their compensation, FINMETRIX representatives do not receive commission based on client transactions.
