Pinnacle's Legal Notices and Additional Disclosures
General Information
The materials presented on this website are provided by Pinnacle Equity Management, LLC, d/b/a Pinnacle Capital Group (“Pinnacle”), solely for informational purposes. Nothing contained herein should be construed as an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities or investment products. The information is not, and should not be interpreted as investment advice, legal advice, accounting guidance, or tax counsel. Any decisions made based on the information provided are solely the responsibility of the user.
Customer Identification Program (CIP)
In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and related federal regulations, Pinnacle is required to verify the identity of each client prior to establishing a relationship. We will request identifying information such as name, date of birth, address, and a government-issued ID number. For corporate or institutional clients, this may include details about authorized signatories and relevant corporate documentation. Accounts may be delayed, restricted, or closed if verification is incomplete or unsatisfactory. Pinnacle disclaims liability for losses resulting from such delays or account actions due to non-compliance with CIP requirements.
Conflicts of Interest
Pinnacle, its affiliates, employees, and contract consultants may engage in activities that, from time to time, pose potential or actual conflicts of interest with client interests. We maintain internal policies and procedures to monitor and manage such conflicts. All personnel must promptly disclose such conflicts and obtain prior written approval from compliance personnel before engaging in any such external activities. Pinnacle is committed to prioritizing client interests and ensuring full transparency when such situations arise.
Investment Risk
Investing involves substantial risk, including the potential for total loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment values may fluctuate due to market conditions, economic shifts, regulatory developments, or other factors. Pinnacle strongly encourages all investors to engage with qualified financial advisors and perform comprehensive due diligence before committing capital to any investment strategy.
Private Placements
Pinnacle operates primarily in the private placement market, facilitating offerings of securities that are not registered under the Securities Act of1933. These investments are generally illiquid, speculative, and suitable only for investors who meet strict eligibility criteria. Private placements often involve complex structures and extended holding periods and lack the public reporting and transparency associated with publicly traded investments. As such, prospective investors must carefully evaluate offering documents and consult independent advisers before investing.
Qualified Investors
Participation in Pinnacle’s private placement offerings is limited to individuals and entities that qualify as accredited investors or qualified purchasers under federal securities laws. Individual investors must meet income or net worth thresholds, and entities must possess substantial assets or meet specific ownership criteria. The ability to invest in these offerings requires a high tolerance for risk, an understanding of illiquidity, and a long-term investment horizon.
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC)
Pinnacle is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). While SIPC provides limited protection for customers in the event of firm insolvency, it does not insure against market losses or declines in investment value. Pinnacle does not custody client assets; all securities are held by third-party custodians, sponsors, or clearing brokers. For additional details on SIPC coverage, please visit www.sipc.org.
