Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.

Exempt reporting advisers


Exempt Reporting Advisers ("ERA") are investment advisers that are not required to register as investment advisers because they rely on certain exemptions from registration under sections 203(l) and 203(m) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and related rules. Certain state securities regulatory authorities have similar exemptions based on state statutes or regulations. An ERA is required to file a report using Form ADV, but does not complete all items contained in Form ADV that a registered adviser must complete. Other state securities regulatory authorities require an ERA to register as an investment adviser and file a complete Form ADV. Below are the regulators with which an ERA report is filed.

Other business activities

Outside business activity is any business or activity undertaken by an advisor that is outside the scope of their relationship with their firm (e.g., consulting services, real estate, freelance work, teaching, etc.). Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.

Mr. Erke typically serves as a director for each of the underlying privately-held companies held in the Westward Partners' fund portfolios. Westward Partners' Managing Members/Directors all serve as board members or directors with all or most of the privately-held companies held in Westward Partners' fund portfolios and this work is deemed to be an integral component of Westward Partners' management role relating to the funds. While technically an outside activity, Mr. Erke serves as a director of these companies in his capacity as a Partner of Westward Partners and any compensation is paid to Westward Partners pursuant to a written agreement. As he considered this work to be part of his ongoing management role with Westward Partners, he spends as much time as is needed to fulfill the services provided to these privately-held companies both during and outside of trading hours.
