Investment advisory services are offered through Arca Investment Management, LLC or Arca Capital Management, LLC, both of which are registered investment advisers.

Prior to making any investment decision in respect of any product, each investor must undertake its own independent examination and investigation of the product, including the merits and risks involved in an investment in the product, and must base its investment decision, including a determination of whether the product would be a suitable investment for the investor, on such examination and investigation and must not rely on Arca or the Products in making such investment decision. 
 
Certain Arca products may be subject to the risks associated with investing in crypto assets, including cryptocurrencies and crypto tokens. Because crypto assets are a new technological innovation with a limited history, they are highly speculative assets. Future regulatory actions or policies may limit the ability to sell, exchange or use a crypto asset. The transactions of a small number of holders of such crypto assets may impact the price of a crypto asset.. 
 
Nothing on the channel is intended as investment advice, investment research, a research report, or a recommendation, nor is anything intended to be a solicitation or an offer to sell securities or investment advisory services. Specifically, under no circumstances should any information provided on this channel be considered an offer soliciting the purchase or sale of any security or interest in any pooled investment vehicle sponsored by Arca. Any such offer or solicitation will be made solely through definitive offering documents, identified as such, which will contain information about each product's investment objectives and terms and conditions of an investment and may also describe risks and tax information related to an investment therein, and which will qualify in their entirety the information set forth on this website. The summary set forth on this channel does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive offering documents relating to each Product. Do not place undue reliance on this channel. Please consult your own financial/legal/tax professional.
