Cadence considers customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with clients.  We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of our current, prospective and former clients’ personal information.  We have developed policies designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing client needs to be served.

In the course of providing you with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about you.  This information may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from your transactions, from your brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.

We do not disclose any personal or account information provided by you or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as otherwise described in our Form ADV which will be provided upon request. Cadence may delegate investment management responsibilities to other of its investment management affiliates and share information with them to the extent necessary to accomplish these limited purposes.  As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on client satisfaction, conducting performance analyses and gathering and voting shareholder proxies.  We may also retain non-affiliated companies to market our products and enter in joint marketing agreements with other companies.  These companies may have access to your personal and account information, but are permitted to use the information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law.  We may also provide your personal and account information to your brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or to your financial adviser or consultant.

We do reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any mutual fund in which you have chosen to invest.  In addition, we may disclose information about you or your accounts to a non-affiliated third party at your request.
