The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows performance information to be presented gross of management fees in one-on-one presentations if
accompanied by disclosures that: (1) the results do not reflect the deduction of investment management fees; (2) the client’s return will be reduced by the management
fees and any other expenses incurred in the management of the account; and (3) the advisor’s investment advisory fees are described in Part II of the advisor’s Form ADV.
Also accompanying these disclosures must be a “representative example” that shows the effect an investment advisory fee, compounded over a period of years, could
have on the total value of a client’s portfolio.
