Risk Disclosure

You must be aware that different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that the future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy including those undertaken by us will be profitable or equal any historical performance level(s). Information regarding investment services are provided solely to gain an understanding of our investment philosophy and our strategies and should not be construed as personalized investment advice.


Conflicts of Interest

Certain of our representatives are licensed insurance agents of our affiliated or non-affiliated companies and, in that capacity, may recommend on a fully disclosed basis the purchase of certain securities or insurance-related products. These individuals are compensated for the sale of these products. The recommendation by a representative of Martin Shapiro Financial Services that a client purchase a commission-based product presents a conflict of interest, as the receipt of commission may provide an incentive to recommend products based on commissions received rather than on a particular client’s need. No client is under any obligation to purchase any commission-based products from a representative of Martin Shapiro Financial Services. Clients are reminded that they may purchase insurance-related products recommended by Martin Shapiro Financial Services representatives through other, non-affiliated representatives and/or companies.
