Relationship and Services
What investment services and advice can you provide me?

Fees, Costs, Conflicts, and Standard of Conduct
What fees will I pay?

If you are not an engaged client, then you will not become obligated to pay CCS any fees. However, you should be aware that CCS is most likely being paid a success fee by the counter-party in your securities transaction.

​
What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations?
CCS does not typically recommend any securities transaction to its clients. When we provide you a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:
-
If you are not the engaged client in a securities transaction, CCS is most likely being paid a success fee by the counter-party in your securities transaction.
-
If the associated person of CCS who makes the recommendation is also a significant equity holder in the issuer of the securities recommended or a member of the management team of the issuer of the securities recommended, then there may be a conflict of interest.
