Disclosures

Not legal or compliance advice

AAYT does not provide legal, compliance, investment, tax, or accounting advice. Everything on this site and in our work product is for marketing purposes. You remain responsible for ensuring your marketing meets the rules that apply to your firm, and you should rely on your own counsel and compliance team for those determinations.

Role of the studio

We are a marketing studio. We plan, produce, and run marketing, and we build it to clear your review process. We work alongside your Chief Compliance Officer, outside counsel, or compliance consultant. We do not replace them, and final approval of any marketing always rests with your firm.

No guarantee of regulatory outcomes

We design work to be defensible and to reduce risk, but no marketing partner can guarantee how a regulator or examiner will view any material. Nothing on this site is a promise that your marketing will be found compliant or that any particular regulatory outcome will result.

Illustrative metrics and examples

The metrics, results boards, sample reports, and case examples shown across this site are illustrative only. They are designed to show the kind of work and reporting we produce. They are not promises of future results, and your outcomes will depend on your firm, market, and starting point.

Testimonials and endorsements

Where we run testimonial or endorsement campaigns for clients, we build them with the disclosures, written agreements, and recordkeeping that the applicable rules require, including the SEC Marketing Rule for investment advisers. Any testimonials shown in our own marketing are handled the same way and are illustrative where noted.

Forward-looking statements

Some content may describe expected benefits, plans, or projections. These are forward-looking statements that involve assumptions and uncertainty. Actual results may differ, and we undertake no obligation to update them.
