Managed Account Program
X-Square offers investment advice to clients
through our managed account program. These
programs are offered directly by X-Square or through an intermediary in cases were X-Square
acts as a sub-adviser to the account. If an investment adviser select X-Square as a sub-adviser,
X-Square receives a portion of the fee charged by the adviser.
In this program, the X-Square will assist the client in determining the appropriate allocation of
the client’s account among different asset classes, and will directly manage the investment
portfolio selected for the client, on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, as selected by
the client.
Investments in this program are not limited to any specific product or service offered by any one
issuer, broker-dealer or company, and may include mutual funds, individual exchange-listed
securities or securities traded over-the- counter, foreign issuer securities, corporate debt
securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal and U.S. government securities,
and other securities individually approved by X-Square. If appropriate for the client, the account
may include the use of options and other financial derivatives. The assets selected for the
account will be determined by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities,
or industry sectors.
To ensure that the initial determination of an appropriate portfolio remains suitable and that the
account continues to be managed in a manner consistent with the client's financial
circumstances, X-Square will:
1. At least annually, contact each participating client to determine whether there have been
any changes in the client's financial situation or investment objectives, and whether the
client wishes to impose investment restrictions or modify existing restrictions;
2. Be reasonably available to consult with the client; and
3. Maintain client suitability information, in the form of an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) in
each client's file.
