Money Laundering
The USA PATRIOT Act requires financial institutions, including mutual funds, to adopt certain policies and programs to prevent money laundering activities, including procedures to verify the identity of customers opening new accounts. When completing the New Account Application for the EPHAM Funds, you will be required to supply information, such as your taxpayer identification number, that will assist EPHAM in verifying your identity. Until such verification is made, EPHAM may temporarily limit additional share purchases. In addition, EPHAM may limit additi’onal share purchases or close an account if it is unable to verify a customer’s identity. As required by law, EPHAM may employ various procedures, such as comparing the information to fraud databases or requesting additional information or documentation from you, to ensure that the information supplied by you is correct. Your information will be handled by us as discussed below in the EPHAM's privacy policy.
Privacy
EPHAM will never sell or share your personal information with other companies. While it is necessary for us to collect certain non-public personal information about you when you open an account (such as your address and Social Security number), we protect this information and use it only for communication purposes or to assist us in providing the information and services necessary to address your financial needs. We respect your privacy and are committed to ensuring that it is maintained.
As permitted by law, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your information with companies that perform administrative or marketing services on our behalf, such as transfer agents and/or mail facilities that assist us in shareholder servicing or distribution of investor materials. These companies will use this information only for the services for which we hired them and are not permitted to use or share this information for any other purpose.
We restrict access to non-public personal information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect your personal information.
