Investing In Folios
There are risks involved in investing in any security, group of securities, or investment strategy. Past returns are no guarantee of future returns. Read Risks of Investing for more information.
Folios can be managed or unmanaged and are not registered investment companies. Folios that contain K-1 securities, such as limited partnership interests or ADRs, either directly or through ETFs or mutual funds that invest in them, may have different tax reporting cycles and tax withholding and might require us to report an investor?s personal information to issuers for tax, voting, or other special purposes. Read prospectuses and offering documents carefully.
Folio Investing does not make any determination that any investment or strategy is suitable or appropriate for any specific person. It does not review your or any investor’s investment objectives or financial situation and does not review, recommend, or determine the suitability of, or provide advice regarding any investment or investment strategy for your use. If you follow any investment or investment strategy, you must determine for yourself whether the investment or investment strategy is suitable for you.
Services and Products of Others
Folio Investing, through its online brokerage platform, provides brokerage services that, among other things, enable members to follow trading strategies, research, and/or investment ideas developed by anyone. Distributors and authors of material that members may read or follow can be licensed or unlicensed, professional or amateur, and, unless specifically noted otherwise, are unaffiliated with Folio Investing.
Folio Investing or one of its affiliates may provide to distributors and authors technical or operational services, such as consulting on webpage design, folio construction methods, or web hosting, but the distributors and authors are solely responsible for their services, products, content, and any advertising material related to those activities, whether hosted on their websites, a third-party website with a link or reference to Folio Investing, or a website hosted or co-branded with Folio Investing. We may pay distributors’ and authors’ referral fees, per subscriber fees, content fees, or other fees, or they may pay us for use of our platform or for services we provide to them. Notwithstanding the payment of such fees, we and the distributors and authors remain independent contractors and neither is an agent, representative, or partner of the other. Neither has any right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, to incur any obligation or liability for, or to otherwise bind the other. The payment of fees does not constitute or create an association, joint venture, co-ownership, co-authorship, or partnership or impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either.
It is important that you know that Folio Investing does not endorse, review, or oversee any unaffiliated distributor’s or author’s content or website, or any of the policies, activities, products, or services offered or published by a distributor or author on any website. We do not take responsibility for, and do not approve, endorse, review, recommend or guarantee the information displayed, claims made, or securities or strategies mentioned, offered or recommended by others wherever or however published.
Use by a distributor or author of our online brokerage platform does not imply or constitute our recommendation, endorsement, approval, or oversight of such organization or its offerings, products, services, or publications or any investment or investment strategy suggested or implied by or from the distributor’s or author’s content.

Cash Investment Products
Cash balances received in your accounts at Folio Investing are automatically swept into our Sweep Program. Cash in the Sweep Program pays interest and if held in a bank receives extended FDIC Insurance coverage or if held by us receives SIPC insurance coverage. Cash can also be allocated within any folio using the security symbol FDIC.CASH and outside of a folio in amounts over $25,000 using the security symbol FDIC.PLUS. FDIC Insurance covers both the cash and accrued interest in each account in any bank in the Sweep Program that fails. SIPC insurance applies to any amounts held by us under the Sweep Program.

Alternative Investment Products
IMPORTANT: With respect to any non-publicly-traded alternative investment positions, including REIT's, held in your account, the estimated value is shown as provided by the issuer, sponsor or other unaffiliated third party, and may have been determined using the net investment method for valuation. Any distribution that represents a return of capital reduces the estimated per-unit value shown. The classification of distributions as income or return of capital in whole or in part, is subject to final accounting by such party(ies) and will be reported on a Form 1099 or K-1, as applicable. Activity in an alternative investment security will not be reflected as a "confirmed transaction" in your account until it has been confirmed by the Asset Manager and/or their agents.
